The Challenge

Despite being a trusted local business with excellent service quality, the company was losing customers to competitors with better online presence. Their 2015 website was outdated, not mobile-friendly, and invisible on Google searches. Most leads came from word-of-mouth and Yellow Pages, which were declining rapidly.

Hired additional technicians to meet demand

"We went from getting 8 calls a month to over 30 quality leads. The website transformation completely changed our business. We've had to hire 3 more technicians and we're booked solid for weeks ahead. The €150K in extra revenue more than paid for the investment many times over. SiteSprint didn't just build us a website - they built us a lead generation machine."
