The opportunity: Competing in a crowded home services market

Express Mounting came to Amrify in early 2023 with a problem many home service businesses face: they were excellent technicians but invisible online. Despite having years of TV mounting experience and satisfied customers, they were losing jobs to competitors with stronger digital presence. Their existing website was a basic template that didn't showcase their expertise, didn't rank for any meaningful keywords, and had no way for customers to book online. They were spending heavily on lead generation services like Thumbtack and TaskRabbit, paying $15-40 per lead, with no control over their pipeline. The bigger picture? Metro Atlanta has hundreds of handymen and mounting services competing for the same customers. Standing out requires more than good work - it requires strategic positioning, search visibility, and a frictionless customer experience. Amrify recognized this wasn't just a website project; it was an opportunity to establish Express Mounting as THE go-to TV mounting authority across Metro Atlanta. Our strategy needed to address multiple challenges simultaneously: rank for competitive local searches, differentiate from generic handyman services, build trust with first-time visitors, provide self-service booking, and create content that drives organic traffic. We also saw potential to serve both DIY customers (who might become paying clients) and direct buyers looking for professional installation. The path forward was clear: build a high-performance website optimized for conversions, dominate local SEO across 35+ Metro Atlanta cities, create valuable DIY content to capture top-of-funnel traffic, and integrate seamless online booking to eliminate friction.

The opportunity: Competing in a crowded home services market

Our approach: Strategic positioning meets seamless execution

Amrify's first move was positioning. Instead of presenting Express Mounting as 'another TV mounting service,' our creative team positioned them as specialists - the Metro Atlanta experts who've done this 7,457+ times. The messaging focuses on expertise (10+ years), proof (450+ five-star reviews), and convenience (same-day service, online booking). The website immediately communicates professionalism and competence through high-quality photos of actual installations, prominent trust signals (5.0 Google rating displayed everywhere), and specific service areas (35+ cities listed). The homepage wastes zero space on generic fluff - visitors see exactly what's offered, can get instant pricing estimates, or book appointments within seconds. Navigation is intuitive and conversion-focused. Every page has multiple pathways to action: get a quote, book online, call now, or explore DIY guides. Our development team integrated Setmore's scheduling API directly into the site, allowing customers to see real-time availability and book appointments without phone calls or email back-and-forth. This eliminated a major friction point - studies show 67% of customers prefer to book services online rather than call. The booking system also captures customer info automatically, feeding Express Mounting's CRM for follow-up and review requests. Mobile experience was paramount. Over 78% of home service searches happen on smartphones, often from people standing in their living rooms measuring their TV wall. Amrify's mobile-first design ensures thumb-friendly navigation, click-to-call buttons that never leave sight, and forms optimized for mobile keyboards. The quote calculator works flawlessly on mobile, letting customers get instant pricing without desktop computers.

Content strategy: Capturing demand at every stage

Here's where Amrify's strategy got creative. While competitors focused exclusively on 'hire us now' content, we built a comprehensive content engine that captures customers at different stages. The DIY guides section - written by our technical content specialist with input from Express Mounting's technicians - targets people researching 'how to mount a TV' queries. These detailed, genuinely helpful guides rank for high-volume informational keywords, bringing thousands of monthly visitors to the site. The brilliance? About 30% of DIY researchers realize mid-article that they'd rather hire professionals. The guides include strategically placed CTAs: 'Rather have experts handle it? Get a free quote.' Each guide is optimized for search with proper schema markup, comprehensive information, and practical advice. They're not thin content designed just for SEO - they're legitimately useful. This builds Express Mounting's authority as the local experts who generously share their knowledge. Location-specific service pages target transactional searches. Each of the 35+ cities gets a dedicated page optimized for '[city] TV mounting' searches: 'TV mounting Alpharetta,' 'TV mounting Milton,' etc. These aren't duplicate content - each page includes city-specific information, local landmarks for service area clarity, and testimonials from customers in that area. Our SEO strategist researched search volume and competition for each location, prioritizing pages based on opportunity. The blog covers common questions and concerns: mounting over fireplaces, handling different wall types, hiding cables, choosing the right mount. This content targets mid-funnel searchers comparing options and researching best practices. It positions Express Mounting as educators and experts, not just vendors.

Local SEO domination: Owning 'TV mounting' across Metro Atlanta

Amrify's local SEO strategy for Express Mounting was methodical and aggressive. First, comprehensive Google Business Profile optimization. We claimed and optimized their listing with category-specific keywords, service area definitions, business hours, booking links, and high-quality photos. We implemented a review generation system that automatically requests Google reviews after successful installations, building their rating from 50 reviews to 450+ over 18 months. Reviews include specific keywords naturally: 'TV mounting in Alpharetta,' 'great cable management.' Technical SEO foundation was critical. We implemented structured data markup (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage schemas) so search engines understand exactly what Express Mounting offers and where they serve. This helps them appear in local pack results - the map listings at the top of Google searches that drive 44% of clicks. We optimized for Core Web Vitals from day one, ensuring fast load times that Google rewards with better rankings. Citation building extended Express Mounting's local presence. Amrify listed them across 50+ directories: Yelp, Angi, HomeAdvisor, Thumbtack, Houzz, local chambers of commerce, neighborhood Facebook groups. Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information everywhere strengthens local search signals. Link building targeted local authority. We secured backlinks from Atlanta home services directories, local business associations, and relevant blogs. Each backlink signals to Google that Express Mounting is a legitimate, trusted local business. Keyword targeting was hyper-specific. Instead of competing for impossible terms like 'TV mounting' nationally, we dominated local variations: 'TV mounting Alpharetta,' 'TV installer Johns Creek,' 'TV mounting service Milton.' Combined with the authority signals, this gave Express Mounting page-one rankings for dozens of high-intent local searches. The results speak clearly: you can visit expressmounting.com and verify their rankings yourself across multiple Metro Atlanta cities.

Conversion optimization: Turning visitors into booked appointments

Getting traffic means nothing without conversions. Amrify implemented multiple conversion strategies throughout Express Mounting's site. The instant quote calculator, built custom by our development team, lets visitors get pricing estimates in 30 seconds by answering simple questions: TV size, wall type, cable management needs. This addresses the biggest friction point - price uncertainty. Customers know what they'll pay before contacting anyone. The calculator captures email addresses for follow-up and feeds directly into the CRM. Online booking via Setmore integration removes phone tag completely. Customers see real availability, pick their preferred time slot, and receive automatic confirmation. This self-service option dramatically increased conversion rates - many customers book after business hours when phone calls aren't an option. Booking rates increased 180% after implementation. Strategic CTA placement ensures visitors always see their next step. Every page includes multiple conversion points: prominent booking buttons in headers and footers, inline quote calculators in service descriptions, click-to-call buttons for mobile users, and review testimonials linked to Google for verification. We reduced decision paralysis by keeping choices simple: Book Now, Get Quote, or Call. Trust signals appear throughout the site: 5.0 star rating with review count, '7,457+ installations' social proof, same-day service availability, 100% satisfaction guarantee, photos of actual work. These overcome skepticism and build confidence. The mobile experience prioritizes speed and simplicity. On smartphones, the site loads in under 2 seconds, the phone number is tap-to-call, and booking forms autofill from device data. Mobile conversion rates now match desktop - rare for service businesses.

Performance engineering: Speed that converts and ranks

Amrify's development team built Express Mounting's site using Astro framework - our choice for maximum performance. Astro ships minimal JavaScript, resulting in blazing-fast load times even on budget smartphones with slow connections. Why does this matter? Google's data shows 1-second delays in mobile load time impact conversions by up to 20%. For a home services site, that's the difference between customers booking or leaving for competitors. The site achieves 95+ PageSpeed scores on both mobile and desktop. Image optimization was crucial. TV mounting is inherently visual - customers want to see finished installations. We implemented next-generation WebP formats with AVIF fallbacks, responsive images that serve appropriate sizes based on device, and lazy loading that prioritizes above-the-fold content. The result? Beautiful high-resolution photos that load instantly. Hosting infrastructure uses AWS CloudFront CDN for global edge caching. While Express Mounting serves Metro Atlanta, their content hub (DIY guides, blog) attracts visitors nationwide. CDN ensures fast delivery everywhere. Caching strategies and database optimization mean returning visitors see pages almost instantly. Third-party scripts (booking widget, analytics, chat) were carefully evaluated and optimized. Each integration loads asynchronously to prevent render-blocking. The Setmore booking widget, for instance, lazy-loads only when customers interact with booking buttons. Core Web Vitals all score in the 'Good' range: Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds, First Input Delay under 100ms, Cumulative Layout Shift under 0.1. These metrics directly impact search rankings - Google confirmed Core Web Vitals as ranking factors. Express Mounting's fast site is rewarded with better positions.

Custom features: Beyond basic templates

Amrify didn't just customize a template - we built custom features tailored to Express Mounting's needs. The pricing calculator uses conditional logic to provide accurate estimates based on multiple factors: TV size (32-85+ inches), mount type (fixed, tilt, full-motion), wall type (drywall, brick, plaster, concrete), cable management options (basic concealment, in-wall routing, outlet relocation). The calculator updates pricing in real-time as customers adjust options, with explanations for each add-on. This transparency builds trust while qualifying leads. The DIY wizard guides customers through mounting decisions with a conversational interface. 'What size is your TV?' 'What type of wall do you have?' Based on answers, it recommends appropriate mounts, lists required tools, and provides step-by-step instructions. Users can opt out at any point and book professional installation instead - many do. Service area visualization on a interactive map shows all 35+ cities served with pins. Clicking any city loads that location's dedicated service page. This solves the common question 'Do you serve my area?' immediately and improves local SEO by clustering location pages. Review showcases pull live Google reviews into the website, displaying recent customer feedback with star ratings, dates, and reviewer locations. This social proof is updated automatically, keeping testimonials fresh and relevant. The booking system includes smart scheduling that respects drive time between appointments, suggests optimal time slots based on location, and sends automated reminders via SMS and email. This reduces no-shows and improves customer experience.

Measurable impact: From invisible to industry-leading

Express Mounting's growth since launching their Amrify-built website has been remarkable and measurable. Website traffic increased 840% in the first year - from roughly 300 monthly visitors to over 2,800. This isn't vanity traffic; it's qualified searchers looking for TV mounting services in Metro Atlanta. Monthly leads jumped from 10-15 to consistent 200+ inquiries. More importantly, these are warm leads who've already explored the site, read reviews, and understand pricing. Conversion rates sit at 12.3% for the quote calculator and 8.7% for direct bookings - well above home services industry averages of 2-4%. The booking system has processed 3,800+ appointments since launch. Online scheduling now accounts for 62% of all bookings, with phone calls making up the remainder. Customers love booking at their convenience; Express Mounting loves not playing phone tag. Search visibility transformed dramatically. Express Mounting now ranks in the top 3 for 'TV mounting [city]' across 28 of their 35 service areas. They dominate local pack results (the map listings) in most locations, generating consistent calls and bookings. The DIY content strategy proved brilliant. The guides section attracts 1,200+ monthly visitors, many becoming paying customers. The top guide ('How to Mount a TV on Drywall') ranks #2 for its target keyword, bringing hundreds of potential customers who realize mid-article they'd rather hire experts. Review generation increased exponentially. The automated system requesting reviews after installations boosted them from 50 to 450+ Google reviews. This social proof creates a flywheel effect - more reviews improve rankings, better rankings drive more customers, more customers generate more reviews. Business metrics prove ROI. Revenue from website-generated leads now exceeds $1.2M annually. Cost per lead dropped from $25+ (via lead services) to under $8 (via website). Return on investment for the website project was achieved in 4 months; every month since is pure profit. Customer acquisition costs decreased while volume increased - the holy grail of service business growth.
