Challenges
GGAM had a strong portfolio but lacked the digital infrastructure and strategic marketing needed to scale. Their business was heavily dependent on word-of-mouth and lacked visibility for high-value services. Their challenges included:
Limited Digital Presence: GGAM relied on organic traffic and referrals, with no meaningful ad presence to attract high-ticket customers.
Outdated Website UX: The website failed to reflect the company’s full capabilities, lacked mobile responsiveness, and offered a poor conversion experience.
Small Job Volume, Low Margins: Most projects were residential shower doors—consistent, but low-margin.
High Market Competition: Competing in South Florida’s luxury construction space required precision targeting to win higher-end contracts.
Modest Ad Budget: With just $5,000/month for advertising, efficiency and ROI were critical.
Under-indexed for High-Revenue Keywords: GGAM did not rank or appear for profitable, project-based search terms.
Solution
We Are Paid Search deployed a three-pronged strategy to unlock consistent lead flow and revenue growth while elevating GGAM’s brand position.
