BACKGROUND

Sousa Renovations is a kitchen and bathroom renovation company in Calgary. Seven years in business, a skilled team, and a portfolio of work that any contractor would be proud of. The problem was never the quality of what they built. It was that not enough people knew they existed.

THE CHALLENGE

Most of their work came through Houzz and word of mouth.

When referrals were strong, the calendar filled. When they dried up, so did the enquiries. The owner had tried running some ads but couldn't tell if they had done anything. There was no visibility into where leads came from, no system to generate them predictably, and no way to plan even three months ahead.

WHAT WE FOUND

01

The business had almost zero presence in Google search for the renovation terms Calgary homeowners actually use

02

The website was built to impress — not to convert. Beautiful photos, zero clear next step

03

There was no local SEO strategy — Google Business Profile was barely filled out

04

All leads came from Houzz and referrals — no owned traffic, no predictable pipeline

05

There was no system to follow up with quote requests that didn't immediately book

WHAT WE BUILT

01

Customer Journey Design

We mapped the complete path from first search to signed contract for a Calgary homeowner considering a renovation — and built everything around that journey.

02

Local SEO Foundation

We rebuilt their Google Business Profile and executed an on-page SEO strategy targeting high-value renovation searches across Calgary and surrounding areas.

03

Conversion-First Website Rebuild

We redesigned the site's quote flow and calls-to-action around one goal — getting the right homeowner to request a quote. Project gallery, trust signals, and a frictionless form.

04

Google Ads — Targeted by Room Type

We ran tight campaigns targeting specific renovation types (kitchen remodel, bathroom renovation) in specific Calgary neighbourhoods — homes in their price range.

05

Lead Nurture

We built the follow-up email sequence for quote requests that didn't immediately convert — recovering a meaningful portion of leads that would otherwise be permanently lost.

In Their Words

"

For years I couldn't tell you where my next job was coming from. Now I'm turning work away and choosing the projects I want. That changes everything.
