case study - Southwest and Midwest Design & Construction​

How Get Social YEG Supercharged Organic Traffic & Conversions for a Leading Design-Build Company in Alberta

In a competitive construction market like Alberta, every bit of online visibility counts. Dive into this case study where we unveil the magic behind the curtain – how Get Social YEG partnered with a top-tier design-build company, harnessing the power of organic search to achieve exponential growth in just two years. Our client, Southwest and Midwest Design & Construction, is not just another construction firm in Alberta. With a legacy spanning over 40 years, they’ve cemented their prowess in the design-build space, serving a vast spectrum from commercial projects to agricultural endeavours. As their reputation has grown in Alberta and the Northwest Territories, their digital needs also evolved.

The Challenge

In a crowded space with over 35,000 construction entities, standing out on Google isn’t just about aiming for generic keywords. It’s about understanding the nuanced search behaviours of a very specialized target audience – be it architects, engineers, or property managers.

The Problem

While our client’s mastery lies in construction, they realized that mastering the intricate world of digital marketing wasn’t feasible with a small in-house team. To truly shine online, they needed not just a team, but an arsenal of tools, strategies, and experience.

The Solution

Enter Get Social YEG. Our client entrusted us with their ambition – to skyrocket website conversions, reign supreme in local Google searches, and drive organic visitors to their site. We responded with an all-encompassing marketing strategy, deploying sharp SEO tactics, well-calibrated Google ads, and compelling social media campaigns.

The Impact

In roughly 2.5 years, Southwest Design and Construction has undergone significant advancements in its digital marketing strategies. From mid-2022 to late 2023, we have seen progress made in different channels.

Hello! I’m Dan Michael, the video editor at Get Social YEG and a lifelong artist. I’ve been hooked on art since I was a kid, collecting Marvel and DC comics and spending hours drawing. Being an introvert, art was my escape, which eventually led me to graphic design and video editing.

I have two awesome kids, Liam and Saoirse, and one amazing wife. We all live in Lanao del Norte.

In my spare time, I love diving into MMORPGs or going head-to-head in 1 vs 1 games with my kids.

Doing designs can burn you out since you can’t be creative every day, but Gatorade, a little chocolate, and good R & B music always help get my tasks done
