How Mr Pools doubled leads and hit #2 for custom pools in two months

Mr Pools' Google Ads were working, but organically they were on page two or deeper for every custom pool term. Keyword mapping, new copy and links moved them to second for custom pools inside two months, with leads up 100%.

The problem

Mr Pools build top quality pools for Sydney homeowners without compromise, and with a personal touch: the person who sells you the pool is the one who builds it. No middleman, no site supervisor, one line of communication. The Google Ads campaign we'd been running for them for a year was performing.

Organic was another story. For target terms like custom pools, custom pool company and custom pool builder Sydney they sat on the second page or deeper, and most of their top rankings were just their own brand name. The site copy was thin. The brief: expand visibility, grow organic traffic, increase leads.

What we did

We began with comprehensive research into the industry and Mr Pools' target market, identifying the high value keywords and running them through our keyword mapping process. Trends in the keywords the site already ranked for told us which terms to prioritise, and each one was mapped to a main page before the writing started.
