Building
Example business: a building firm with 4 site teams based in Dublin, serving the wider Dublin area and focused on house extensions and home renovations. Businesses like this often get many enquiries through trade directories 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
- Builders are often booked months ahead, then face gaps with little control over the next pipeline.
- Buyers are nervous about choosing a builder and rely heavily on reviews and portfolios.
- Small-job enquiries take up estimating time without turning into profitable projects.
- Peak season (enquiries peak in january and spring) was not being planned for, so budget ran out when demand was highest.
The approach
Two services, one goal
This example focuses on SEO and Content Marketing, two channels that can suit building firms in Dublin. 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
SEO
- Technical audit and fixes covering crawl errors, mobile Largest Contentful Paint and indexing.
- Build dedicated service pages for high-value work such as house extensions and home renovations, 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.
Service 2
Content Marketing
- Build a content plan of articles around cost, comparison and how-to questions for house extensions and home renovations.
- 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.
