I'll be straight with you: until this year, my business did not exist on Google. The work was always there. Good welds travel by referral, and referrals kept us busy. But if you actually searched for a welder around Villa Park, you would never find us. The phone only rang when somebody happened to know a guy.
That changed when we brought in the Chicago SEO team at BRD Media. They are based right here in Villa Park, same town as my shop, and they told me exactly what they were going to do before they did it.
Instead of one page that says "we do welding," they built the site around the actual work: a page for mobile welding, trailer repair, gate repair, iron railings, heavy equipment, structural welding, and steel fabrication, plus one for every town we serve across DuPage County. Then they set up our Google Business Profile and wired everything together so we can see exactly which searches bring people in.
Within weeks of the new site going live, we hit #1 on Google around our service area for the searches that actually bring welding jobs:
We are also top 3 for aluminum welding, custom welding, handrail fabrication, and heavy equipment welding repair. Out of the 21 searches they track for us, 15 are now in Google's top 3, and our search visibility more than tripled in a single week.
"BRD Media took us from invisible on Google to #1 for the searches that actually bring in welding jobs. They did what they said they would do, and I can see every bit of it working." Don Mabutas, owner, Mabutas Mobile Welding & Fabrication LLC, Villa Park, IL
We come to you: Villa Park, Lombard, Elmhurst, Addison, Wheaton, Naperville, Hinsdale, Oak Brook, and everywhere between.
