Macrotek’s old site wasn’t converting. Ninety days after we rebuilt it, it was doing 35 sessions a day, with roughly three out of four turning into a real action: a form fill, a call, a quote request. Not a redesign that just looks better. A site built to do something. That’s what the sprint gets you: a foundation that works from day one. The bigger payoff came after. Six months in, once the content was compounding on top of that foundation, daily traffic was up 51% from where it sat right after launch. Organic search grew 73%. Organic social nearly tripled, up 194%. The sprint builds the thing that’s worth putting content behind. It doesn’t skip the part where the content still has to happen.
Macrotek's local SEO work increased its keyword count from 50 to 900+ in 6 months.
