Construction
Example business: a construction firm with 6 site teams based in Christchurch, serving the wider Christchurch area and focused on new homes and townhouses, plus commercial buildings. Businesses like this often get many enquiries through Builderscrack and similar paid platforms, where the same lead often goes to three or four competitors. The goal was more exclusive project enquiries, a lower cost per contract and a pipeline the owner controls.
The challenge
Where a business like this gets stuck
- Construction projects have long sales cycles and multiple decision-makers, so a single ad click rarely becomes a contract.
- Tender portals and referrals dominate, leaving little direct control over the pipeline.
- Many construction firms have impressive projects but a website that doesn't show them.
- Peak season (enquiries are steady) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.
The approach
Three services, one goal
This example focuses on Content Marketing, Website Development and SEO, three channels that can suit construction firms in Christchurch. Every call, form and chat is tracked to a booked outcome from week one, so decisions are based on revenue, not clicks.
What the work could include
The technical work, service by service.
Service 1
Content Marketing
- Build a content plan of articles around cost, comparison and how-to questions for new homes and townhouses and commercial buildings.
- Produce short videos from real jobs and repurpose them for the website, Google Business Profile, YouTube and social.
- Create a downloadable buyer guide as a lead magnet to capture email leads for follow-up.
- Link every article to the matching service page and quote form, so readers move from research to enquiry.
Service 2
Website Development
- Design and build a new website on a fast, lightweight stack, replacing an outdated template site.
- Structure the site around services, locations and projects, with a filterable project gallery.
- Aim for a strong mobile Lighthouse score with compressed images and no page builder bloat.
- Set up redirects for every old URL to protect rankings in the move, and connect GA4, Search Console and call tracking.
Service 3
SEO
- Technical audit and fixes covering crawl errors, mobile Largest Contentful Paint and indexing.
- Build dedicated service pages for high-value work such as new homes and townhouses and commercial buildings, each targeting one search intent.
- Add LocalBusiness, Service and FAQPage schema and rebuild internal linking between services, locations and guides.
- Earn links from local news, suppliers, associations and community sites instead of low-quality link packages.
