Three lessons you can use
Build for search from the first page
A site planned around services and towns starts ranking sooner than one that is redesigned later. Every page had a clear job and a clear keyword.
Authority takes steady work
Guest posts, profile backlinks and quality directory listings were added month after month, alongside Business Profile management.
Expect a curve, not a switch
About nine months in, the site appears thousands of times a month in waterproofing searches, and the strongest pages already hold #1.
Real reports, client names hidden
