A Cincinnati roofer was invested in SEO but the phone wasn't ringing. Here's how clarity — not more traffic — changed everything.
Return on investment
Revenue growth in 18 months
More leads in 6 months
Tim Mallory, CEO of Advantage Roofing, tells it in his own words.
We were really frustrated with our website and our SEO. We kept writing checks and throwing money at it, and nothing worked. I'd switch marketers, they'd make promises, and a year later we'd be right back where we started.
Their website bounced 98% of visitors, making the SEO spend feel wasted. Referrals had driven early growth, but they weren't scalable. After being burned by multiple marketers, Tim was frustrated — and hesitant to invest again.
Instead of jumping in blind, we started with a Strategy First audit. The surprise: traffic was actually coming in. Visitors just weren't connecting — so they clicked away. The problem was never the SEO. It was the message.
"Tim Yates said, 'You're making your company the hero, but the homeowner needs to be the hero — you're the guide.' That was an aha moment. I looked at all my marketing with new eyes."
A StoryBrand website makeover clarified the message and rebuilt the site for conversions. We salvaged the valuable SEO content, eliminated weak pages, and cut over $1,000 a month in wasted hosting, plugins, and apps.
