Case Study: DM Select Services based in Lorton, Virginia

DM Select Services was looking to grow their business when they found Polianna. They were unhappy with their current SEO provider and wanted a new way to reach more people. 

We first connected with DM Select Services from a referral from a web designer. We discussed their current situation, and went over a strategy of how they could take advantage of Google to bring in new leads which included updating their website, creating new content, and bringing in more backlinks to their website. 

When we signed the proposal, we got to work on optimizing their website. We went on to optimize their website by fixing broken links, building backlinks, and optimizing content so that it would rank higher in Google searches.  

Over the course of the next few years, we 

• Developed brand new landing pages for each city they wanted to target
• Built backlinks monthly to their website and city pages 
• Reoptimize website code for new algorithm changes on Google
• Posted targeted blog articles to build their authority online
• Optimized Google Map listings for each city they are targeting
• Continuous research and optimization for location expansion and targeting
