The Challenge

More Leads Wasn't
the Real Problem.

MHX Designs is a premium remodeling and design firm known for delivering high-touch, white-glove service to homeowners undertaking significant renovation projects.

While the company had invested in multiple marketing channels (including Google Ads, Local Services Ads, Facebook Ads, Yelp Ads, and Google Business Profile), its digital marketing infrastructure lacked cohesion. The website was outdated, tracking was inconsistent, and advertising campaigns were generating too many low-intent inquiries.

The business needed more than just additional leads. It needed more qualified leads from homeowners who matched its ideal customer profile.

Our Strategy

A comprehensive overhaul focused on three objectives

  1. 1Increase qualified lead volume
  2. 2Improve advertising efficiency
  3. 3Build reliable attribution across every marketing channel
What We Did

One Connected Marketing System

Rather than patching individual channels, we rebuilt the entire ecosystem so every part reinforced the others.

Website Redesign & Launch

We designed and launched a new website built around conversion optimization and user experience.

  • Modernized design and branding
  • Mobile-first optimization
  • Improved page speed and usability
  • Stronger lead-generation pathways
  • Enhanced conversion opportunities
  • Better alignment with MHX Designs' premium positioning

Google Ads Restructuring

We conducted a complete audit and rebuild of the Google Ads account.

  • Campaign restructuring
  • Keyword refinement
  • Bid strategy optimization
  • Audience targeting improvements
  • Landing page alignment
  • Conversion tracking implementation

Local Services Ads (LSAs)

We refined service selections toward high-value remodeling categories and optimized profile imagery to showcase craftsmanship, increasing visibility while attracting stronger-fit prospects.

  • Prioritized high-value, lower-competition categories
  • Optimized project imagery and presentation
  • Continuous lead-quality monitoring

Google Business Profile

We enhanced the Google Business Profile to drive local visibility and tighter integration with the rest of the marketing stack.

  • Profile optimization
  • Service category improvements
  • Local visibility enhancements
  • Better integration with website and ads

Facebook & Instagram

Recognizing luxury remodeling as a high-consideration purchase, we used Meta for brand awareness rather than direct lead-gen, running cost-effective upper-funnel campaigns targeting the top 20% of household income across the service area.

Yelp Advertising

Once attribution revealed Yelp consistently produced fewer qualified opportunities than Google Ads, we strategically stopped Yelp spend and reallocated that budget to Google Ads.

Tracking & Attribution Overhaul

Turning Phone Calls Into a Measurable Asset

A significant portion of MHX Designs' opportunities came through phone calls rather than forms, and without proper call tracking, many of those conversions were unattributed or mis-attributed. We implemented CallRail as the central call tracking and attribution platform to fix it.

Dynamic Number Insertion

Unique phone numbers displayed by traffic source let us attribute every call to where it actually came from:

Conversion Tracking Integration

We integrated CallRail across the measurement stack so qualified calls were reported as conversions and tied to their source:

Better Marketing Decisions

With reliable attribution in place, MHX Designs could finally see which channels generated real conversations, not just clicks. That visibility let the business:

Measure true cost per lead
Identify high-performing campaigns
Eliminate wasted advertising spend
Optimize budget allocation with confidence
Make data-driven growth decisions
Quality, Not Just Volume

Attracting the Right Homeowners

As a luxury remodeler, MHX Designs benefits most from homeowners planning substantial projects, not price shoppers. We focused heavily on audience refinement and intent-based targeting.

Geographic Targeting Refinement

Using historical performance data, we identified the service areas that consistently produced higher-quality opportunities.

  • Prioritized higher-income markets
  • Focused on neighborhoods fitting the ideal client profile
  • Excluded lower-performing ZIP codes

Eliminating Low-Intent Searches

A detailed search-term analysis surfaced keywords associated with tire-kickers. Expanding negative keyword lists let us:

  • Reduce wasted advertising spend
  • Improve lead quality
  • Increase sales efficiency
  • Focus budget on higher-intent searches

Systematic Ad Copy Testing

Continuous A/B testing of headlines, descriptions, and calls-to-action helped attract lower-funnel prospects further along in the buying journey, and more likely to become qualified opportunities.
