    Automated Email & Lead Scoring System for a SaaS Marketing Platform

**1. Project Overview
** A local plumbing company approached Merto Software Solutions after noticing a drop in incoming calls and online visibility. Despite being highly rated, they weren’t showing up on Google Maps or Bing for key local search terms like “emergency plumber near me.”

They needed expert help to improve their local SEO, fix their Google Business Profile issues, and increase their local leads.

2. The Challenge

  • Incomplete and outdated Google Business Profile
  • Poor keyword targeting for local searches
  • No Bing Places listing
  • Website lacked structured metadata
  • Low visibility in Google Maps results

**3. Our Approach
** We began with a full SEO audit of their website and local listings, and then implemented a staged strategy:

  • Cleaned up and optimised Google Business Profile
  • Created Bing Places profile
  • Updated the site’s metadata, headings, and alt text for local SEO
  • Implemented review strategy and local backlinks
  • Added structured schema markup for business info

4. The Solution

  • Optimised Google & Bing business listings
  • Integrated real-time reviews into their website
  • Improved local keywords (service + location terms)
  • Added local map pack targeting content
  • Mobile speed optimisations for better local ranking

**5. Results & Impact
** ✅ Ranked in top 3 of Google Map Pack within 3 weeks
✅ 3x increase in phone call enquiries
✅ 60% more bookings within 2 months
✅ 5-star reviews increased by 40%
✅ New visibility across Bing and Apple Maps

**6. Client Feedback
** “We used to rely on word of mouth. Now most of our jobs come straight from Google — and we’re booked solid for the next few weeks.”
— Owner, Windsor Plumbing Services
