We built an integrated strategy combining high-impact PPC, local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, and generative engine optimization (GEO). The campaign increased calls, reduced acquisition costs, and strengthened C & R Metals’ visibility in the Miami market.
The Client: C & R Metals
Founded in 1985, C & R Metals has been a trusted pillar of Miami’s industrial community for decades. They serve a diverse range of clients, from homeowners and construction companies to marinas and cruise lines. As a go-to source for high-quality metal products and expert fabrication, they built a strong reputation on excellence and customer satisfaction.
The Challenge
Despite their long history and strong offline reputation, their online presence didn’t reflect their status. The business had traditionally relied on walk-in customers and word-of-mouth referrals. In today’s digital world, this was holding them back. The core objective was to generate more inbound calls and leads through digital advertising without letting acquisition costs spiral out of control, finally capturing the online market that was passing them by.
High-Impact Paid Advertising. We launched meticulously optimized Google Ads campaigns to capture high-intent traffic and maximize ROI for every dollar spent.
Strategic Local SEO. We enhanced the website’s content and technical structure to support the ad campaigns and fuel long-term organic growth.
Google My Business Optimization. We transformed their GMB profile into a customer acquisition tool by optimizing every detail and actively managing reviews to build local trust.
Expanding Visibility in AI Search. We also optimized key pages for AI-powered search by organizing product and service information around the questions local buyers ask. Clearer topic coverage and page structure helped platforms such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini better understand C & R Metals’ inventory, expertise, and Miami service area.
