The Challenge

Technical Building Automation had the expertise and reputation—but their online presence was holding them back. Their DIY GoDaddy site wasn’t mobile-friendly or optimized for search, and their Google Business Profile wasn’t verified or optimized. As a result, they were nearly invisible on both Google Search and Maps—ranking 28th or lower—and were missing out on almost all organic traffic and qualified inquiries from both Google Search and Google Maps

Our Approach

We focused on making sure the website clearly explained what Technical Building Automation does, who they serve, and why they’re a trusted choice. Instead of overwhelming visitors with technical jargon or vague claims, we highlighted the specific services they offer and the types of buildings and systems they work on. We also made sure the site was easy to navigate, mobile-friendly, and professionally written—so potential clients could quickly find the information they needed and feel confident reaching out. This clarity laid the foundation for their rankings and visibility to improve almost immediately.

What Changed

The new website now makes a strong first impression and ranks for the competitive search terms customers actually use when searching for building automation services. Within the first few months, they went from no visibility at all to ranking on the first page of Google—and they’ve stayed in the top 5 positions for key local search terms ever since. Website traffic jumped from 2 clicks per month to over 50 clicks per month, and their organic click-through rate rose to more than 6%—far above the industry standard of 2-3%—thanks to clear messaging and thoroughly researched content. Instead of getting lost online, TBA is now being discovered—and chosen—by more qualified leads.

What’s Next

Now that TBA has a solid foundation, the next step is to build on that momentum. Earning a few strong customer reviews will help boost their visibility even further in Google Maps. From there, upgrading the website with more targeted pages—like system-specific service pages, details geared towards industries served, case studies—and improving presence in local directories will increase their reach. We’re also exploring a potential LinkedIn strategy to connect directly with key decision-makers.
