A Boulder SEO Marketing Customer Case Study

Foundation repair SEO

Client Overview

Van Matre Construction, a specialist in foundation repair and waterproofing based in the Boulder and Denver area, faced low online visibility and underperforming website content. With the help of Boulder SEO Marketing’s targeted local SEO strategies and comprehensive content overhaul, Van Matre Construction saw dramatic improvements in search rankings, organic clicks, and qualified leads—setting the foundation for long-term business growth.

The Challenge

Despite being highly regarded for their foundation repair expertise and customer service, Van Matre Construction struggled with a website that was poorly indexed, offered limited content, and failed to attract new leads from organic search. Their Google Business Profiles (GBPs) for Boulder, Lafayette, and Denver weren’t fully optimized, and key service pages lacked the depth and SEO focus needed to stand out in competitive local searches. The client’s primary goal was to boost online visibility, increase calls from potential customers, and establish a more substantial presence in the Boulder and Denver markets.

The Solution

Boulder SEO Marketing implemented a multi-faceted SEO campaign, including:

Google Business Profile Optimization

Re-optimized all three GBPs (Boulder, Lafayette, Denver) to maximize local visibility.

Micro SEO Strategy℠

Applied a targeted Micro SEO Strategy℠ to the homepage and Boulder location page, ensuring these critical entry points were keyword-rich, well-structured, and conversion-focused.

Content Overhaul

Conducted in-depth keyword research tailored to foundation repair and related services, then restructured and rewrote the homepage and Boulder location page content. Developed four new supporting service pages, including detailed sections on basement waterproofing, drainage, and grading.

Technical SEO Improvements

Addressed website indexing issues to ensure all pages were crawled correctly and ranked by Google.

Continuous Enhancements

Enhanced service pages for basement waterproofing and drainage, with ongoing support content planned to maintain momentum. Throughout the process, the client remained highly responsive, providing feedback on content and visuals that helped streamline approvals and ensure the messaging aligned with their brand.

The Results

Within months of implementing the new SEO and content marketing strategy, Van Matre Construction experienced:

133% Increase in Clicks: The basement waterproofing page experienced a 133% increase in organic clicks over three months.

255% Increase in Impressions: The Boulder location page achieved a remarkable 255% growth in search impressions.
