From Hidden on Page 10 to Outranking Industry Giants
This UK Building Services Consultancy had all the ingredients for success: decades of experience, a talented team, and impressive case studies. But online? They were virtually invisible. Competing against companies 10x their size with bigger budgets and more brand recognition made it feel like SEO was a game they could never win.
Then they found Rank Mate. Fast forward 12 months, and they’re not only visible—they’re dominating search results, quoting over £2 million in new business from organic leads alone. Here’s how we helped make it happen
Targeted Link Building with Big Impact
With limited time and budget, we focused on what would drive the most meaningful results: relevant, high-authority backlinks.
Here’s what we did:
1. Built Links That Actually Moved the Needle
We secured backlinks from trusted, niche-relevant sites that passed real authority. No spam, no fluff, just solid editorial links on sites that Google trusts.
2. Targeted High-Intent Commercial Keywords
We didn’t go after vanity traffic. We targeted keywords that buyers actually use when looking for building consultants and related services, especially those in lucrative commercial and local authority sectors.
3. Prioritised Quality Over Quantity
Our approach wasn’t about mass link building, it was about building strategic links that moved the site up the rankings in a sustainable way.
The Results: Record Traffic, Enquiries, and Revenue
✅ Traffic up over 100% in 12 months — from 165,000 impressions to 295,000, with clicks up by 33%.
✅ Quoted over £2 million in new work directly from organic leads.
✅ Ranking above national competitors and securing high-value projects they’d previously struggled to get visibility for.
✅ CTR and positioning improvements now generating better quality leads, with 99% of site visitors based in the UK.
✅ Massive ROI — they started on just £500/month. After seeing the results, they’ve increased their budget to £700/month.
At our Christmas party, the MD came up to us and said:
“It’s the busiest we’ve ever been. We owe it to you.”
