L4 Group and Skylands Energy Service: A Digital Marketing Success Story

Local SEO & Brand Dramatic Improvement

Skylands Energy Service engaged with L4 Group in 2017 with the goal of having a new website, generating online leads and increasing their overall brand presence on the Internet.

In 2017, L4 Group embarked on a transformative digital marketing journey with Skylands Energy Service, a renowned provider of heating oil delivery and HVAC services. This partnership was driven by the need to enhance Skylands Energy Service's online presence and engage more effectively with their target audience.

Recognizing the evolving landscape of digital marketing, L4 Group proposed and implemented a comprehensive, multi-faceted strategy that not only revolutionized Skylands' digital footprint but also set a new standard in the industry for integrated marketing solutions.

Our approach was holistic and tailored to meet the unique needs of Skylands Energy Service. It encompassed a range of innovative services including the creation of a dynamic new website, enriched with extensive content designed to educate and engage customers. The new website was design to be mobile-friendly and with the intent to capture online leads.

We employed local SEO tactics specifically tailored for heating oil delivery and HVAC services, ensuring Skylands' visibility in the most relevant online searches.

Additionally, our strategy included targeted pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, a robust social media marketing campaign, engaging video content, proactive reputation management, and continuous content marketing.

Each element of this strategy was carefully crafted to work in synergy, driving both online traffic and real-world conversions.

  • New Mobile-Friendly website
  • Reputation management solution
  • Local SEO execution
  • Multiple lead magnets for the website

This case study aims to highlight the key components of our digital marketing strategy, the challenges we faced, the solutions we implemented, and the remarkable results we achieved together.

Foundational Building Blocks

In order to achieve the desired results, we first started with building a strong foundation. This consisted of rebuilding a compamy website, utilizing best-in-class SEO techniques and website conversion practices.

The old website was not dynamic, it was not mobile-friendly and it was not designed to convert website traffic into leads. The new site that we designed corrected all of these issues.

 

Website Traffic Improvements, Year over Year...

Once we fixed the foundation, we next focused on building out a robust content library for Skylands Energy Service. This included elements such as:

  • Project case studies
  • Detailed equipment manufacturer content
  • Lead magnet funnels
  • Consistent blog article content
  • Hyper-local content pages
  • and more!

The result is a constant uptick in organically ranking keywords and search terms.  This steady increase in ranking keywords results in a corresponding steady increase in overall organic traffic to the website.

Organic ranking keywords and website traffic refers to all rankings and traffic that is NOT directly attributed to paid advertising.

The other performance indicators that demonstrate how well this website is performing are display below. When we started on this project, there were less than 100 backlinks to the website and the website traffic volume was under 150 vistors per month. As you can see below, now there are over 8,000 backlinks and the website monthly traffic is over 3,800 monthly visitors.

FAQs About SEO and Our Services

The Essence of SEO

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is much more than just sprinkling keywords throughout your website. It's a comprehensive strategy that involves optimizing various elements of your website to improve its visibility in search engine results pages (SERPs). The ultimate goal of SEO is to attract more organic (non-paid) traffic to your site by ensuring your pages are relevant and authoritative.

Keyword Research: Identifying the right keywords is foundational in SEO. It's about understanding what your potential customers are searching for and how they phrase their queries. This insight guides the creation of content that resonates with your audience.
On-Page Optimization: This involves optimizing individual web pages to rank higher in search engines. Key elements include high-quality, relevant content, meta tags, title tags, and internal linking.
Technical SEO: Behind-the-scenes aspects like site speed, mobile-friendliness, indexing, crawlability, and site architecture fall under technical SEO. These elements ensure that search engines can easily crawl and index your site.
Content Creation: High-quality, engaging, and informative content is pivotal. It’s not just about what the search engines want, but also what your audience finds valuable and share-worthy.
Off-Page SEO: This refers to actions taken outside of your own website to impact your rankings within search engine results pages. Primarily, it involves link building which is the process of getting other reputable websites to link back to your site.

Core Components of Search Engine Optimization

The Evolving Nature of SEO

SEO is not a set-it-and-forget-it strategy. Search engines like Google constantly update their algorithms, meaning SEO tactics must evolve as well. What worked a few years ago might not work today. Staying on top of these changes is crucial for maintaining and improving your search engine rankings.

Consistency in SEO is key. Regularly updated content, continual optimization, and staying abreast of algorithm changes are all part of a successful long-term SEO strategy. It’s about building and maintaining online relevance and authority over time.
