ABOUT

Founded in 2006, full-service digital marketing agency Lead to Conversion has over a decade in the SEO game, and today focuses efforts on delivering exceptional SEO and PPC results to local and national businesses across the USA.

CHALLENGE

Lack of local focus, and time-consuming manual processes

Prior to discovering BrightLocal, Lead to Conversion were using a different SEO tool to manage clients in need of local SEO work, but needed something more locally-focused for their brick-and-mortar clients. In addition to this, performing manual citation work for the clients that needed it was taking 10 hours out of the week.

Back in 2012, Lead to Conversion noticed an opportunity to drastically increase efficiency in these areas. They signed up to a free trial of BrightLocal and haven’t looked back.

SOLUTION

A dedicated local search platform and citation services

To resolve the issue with citations taking too long to manage and monitor, the agency use the combined forces of Citation Builder (BrightLocal’s citation service offering accurate citation building, manual citation clean-up, and local data aggregator distribution) and Citation Tracker. Now they have full oversight over what’s going on with their clients’ citations, and managing the process is faster than ever.

The agency also makes use of BrightLocal’s Google Business Profile reporting, to educate clients on where they could make improvements to leapfrog competitors in the local pack.

Rounding off the BrightLocal toolset used by Lead to Conversion is the Local Search Audit, which allows them to kick off campaigns on the right foot by analyzing their new clients’ search presence along with the clients’ competitors.
