How a stabilized SEO strategy and rebuilt website delivered real visibility after a year of agency churn.

Services: SEO, Website
Industry: Roofing

When Young Construction partnered with Hook Agency, the company wasn’t starting from zero, but they were starting from frustration.

After cycling through seven different account managers in a single year, none of whom specialized in roofing or fully understood Young Construction’s markets, progress had stalled. Strategy shifted constantly, execution lacked consistency, and SEO efforts never had time to compound.

The goal was clear: stop the churn, rebuild the foundation, and finally create momentum.

The Results at a Glance

  • 176 confirmed inbound leads from 333 calls and form submissions in 2025
  • 200% year-over-year increase in local first-page rankings
  • 39% improvement in overall keyword position since baseline
  • Stable SEO growth following 19 months of consistent execution

While lead volume is still building, the significant visibility gains demonstrate strong foundational progress, the critical first step in creating sustainable, long-term organic lead growth.

Pain Points

Before working with Hook Agency, Young Construction faced several challenges that made sustained growth nearly impossible:

  • Seven account managers in one year, creating constant resets
  • No industry-specific expertise in roofing or local contractor SEO
  • Inconsistent strategies that never stayed in place long enough to work
  • A website weighed down by unnecessary code and unclear structure
  • Local markets blended together without clear geographic differentiation

The business needed a partner that understood roofing, local service markets, and long-term SEO, not just surface-level tactics.

Rebuilding the Website and SEO Foundation

The first move was rebuilding the website to remove friction, for users and search engines.

Young Construction’s new site launched with significantly less code bloat, improved content structure, and faster load times. Images were optimized to improve site speed, and internal structure was cleaned up to ensure authority flowed to priority pages.

From there, SEO execution focused on clarity and location relevance.

Key actions included:

  • Creation of service-specific location pages
  • A location hub to clearly differentiate Florida and Iowa markets
  • Optimized important blog content to better match roofing search intent
  • Development of location-specific blog content to support local authority
  • Implementation of local business schema
  • Strategic link building to increase authority
  • Citation cleanups to remove inconsistencies across directories

This ensured Google clearly understood what Young Construction offers and where they offer it.

SEO Built for the Future

In addition to traditional SEO improvements, the site was also structured to perform well in AI-driven search results. Content clarity, internal linking, and page relevance were refined to ensure Young Construction is recognized as a trusted local roofing authority as search behavior continues to evolve.

Since the SEO start date in April 2024, these combined efforts have driven a 200% increase in local first-page rankings and a 39% improvement in overall position, setting the stage for continued lead growth.
