How Merging Two Sites Doubled Christian Brothers’ Leads
Christian Brothers
Christian Brothers Lawncare & Outdoor Services has taken care of homes and businesses across West Michigan since 2015. The team handles lawn care, landscape design and installation, hardscaping, irrigation, hydroseeding, tree work, and snow removal across Kent, Newaygo, Muskegon, and Ottawa counties.
Christian Brothers was doing good work that almost nobody could find. The site ranked for 25 keywords, only five of which were not the company name, and those five brought in zero visits over a month. The towns their crews drove to every day had no presence in search at all. We wanted one site that could rank for all of it.
Key Features
Strategic design decisions that transformed their digital presence
Domain Consolidation
Two Sites Aren't Always Better Than One
Christian Brothers had two domains competing with each other, and nobody at the company still had login access to the older one. We crawled it, mapped every URL to a new home, and combined both into a single domain.
Local SEO
A Page for Every Town
The old site listed service areas on the contact page and nowhere else. We gave each of the 31 towns Christian Brothers serves its own page, grouped by county, and tied them to the services that sell there. Those pages now rank in searches like “hydroseeding grand rapids” and “snow removal near me”, and they have consistently generated leads.
Technical Foundation
Fixing What Google Could Not Read
The site was slow, which Google held against them. 82 pages had nothing linking to them, so Google mostly never found them, and a site collecting names and phone numbers had no privacy policy. Christian Brothers went from ranking for 25 keywords to over 1,200, including 127 that appear in Google AI Overviews.
