Case Study: How Joe’s Gutter Service Became #1 Across Multiple Cities Through Local SEO

How Joe’s Gutter Service Became #1 Across Multiple Cities Through Local SEO

Client Overview

Business: Joe’s Gutter Service
Service Area: Richmond, Indiana • Wayne County • Muncie IN • Liberty IN • Lynn IN • Oxford OH
Industry: Gutter Installation & Gutter Services

Joe’s Gutter Service is a trusted local contractor serving multiple cities across Indiana and Ohio. Despite strong workmanship and word-of-mouth referrals, the business had almost no visibility online.

When they partnered with Instant SEO, their goal was simple:
👉 Get found when people search for gutter services.


The Challenge

1️⃣ Google Business Profile Visibility

  • Google Business Profile was not showing for core service searches

  • No meaningful rankings in Richmond or surrounding cities

  • Missed opportunities in nearby markets

2️⃣ Outdated Website Experience

  • Slow load times

  • Poor mobile experience

  • Unoptimized content

  • Confusing layout that didn’t convert visitors

The business had the reputation — but not the digital foundation.

We implemented a full local SEO and website transformation, focused on visibility, usability, and conversions.


📍 Step 1: Google Business Profile Optimization

We rebuilt and optimized Joe’s GBP to:

  • Properly target multiple service areas
