Challenges

  1. Reliance on Third-Party Lead Generators – A significant portion of leads came from Angie’s List, with high costs ($1,200-$3,000/month) and limited long-term ROI.
  2. Inconsistent Online Presence – The business lacked strong local SEO rankings and effective ad targeting.
  3. Low Engagement on Social Media – Their Facebook and Instagram accounts had low interaction and reach, limiting brand awareness.
  4. Lack of Diversified Advertising – No established email marketing, CTV, or radio campaigns to nurture leads and maintain brand recall.

Our Approach

To resolve these challenges, DesignLoud implemented a comprehensive, data-driven digital marketing strategy that focused on lead generation, brand awareness, and conversion optimization.

1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

  • Conducted an in-depth website audit and optimized site structure for local search rankings.
  • Targeted high-intent keywords such as “fence company near me,” “vinyl fencing,” and “fence staining”.
  • Implemented Google My Business (GMB) optimization to increase local visibility and customer inquiries.

2. Google Ads (Pay-Per-Click - PPC)

  • Developed high-converting Google Ads targeting fencing-related keywords, reducing dependency on Angie’s List.
  • Used geo-targeting to focus on homeowners in the Wilmington and Newport areas.
  • Implemented conversion tracking to measure form fills and phone calls from ads.

3. Social Media Marketing

  • Launched Facebook & Instagram Ad campaigns to generate leads and showcase projects.
  • Created a content calendar with before-and-after fence projects, customer testimonials, and limited-time promotions.
  • Implemented lead generation forms on Facebook to capture potential customer information.

4. Email Marketing

  • Developed drip email campaigns to nurture leads who received quotes but didn’t move forward.
  • Offered a $50 discount for subscribers, incentivizing fence installation bookings.
  • Used monthly newsletters to engage past customers and encourage referrals.

5. CTV & OTT Ads

  • Created video ads highlighting their 10-year warranty, superior craftsmanship, and local trust.
  • Targeted homeowners via streaming services and smart TV platforms.
  • Increased brand awareness among premium audiences not actively searching online.

6. Internet Radio Ads

  • Developed audio ad scripts emphasizing family ownership, trust, and quality craftsmanship.
  • Ran ads on popular streaming services like Pandora and Spotify for local reach.
  • Ensured brand recall with consistent radio exposure.

7. Display Advertising

  • Designed visual banner ads for remarketing campaigns.
