How a Michiana Remodeler Achieved a 5.57x ROI With a Long-Term, Strategy-Driven Inbound Approach

Overview

Peacock & Company has been a long-standing Builder Funnel client, partnering with us to steadily grow their visibility and lead generation across South Bend and the greater Michiana region.

As an established design-build remodeler with deep roots in the community, Peacock already had strong brand recognition and a reputation for quality craftsmanship. Our years-long partnership has seen us continuously refining and expanding a strategic inbound system designed to scale results.

In 2025, that long-term strategy paid off in a big way, delivering a 5.57x return on investment.

The Challenge

As a mature remodeling company in a competitive regional market, Peacock’s goals centered upon the following:

• Increase ROI from their ongoing marketing investment
• Expand visibility in surrounding high-demand towns
• Strengthen performance in top revenue-driving services like kitchens, bathrooms, basements, sunrooms, and additions
• Capture both short-term, high-intent leads and long-term planners
• Continuously optimize performance rather than plateau
  
  

The Strategy

Builder Funnel built on a strong strategic foundation and refined a comprehensive inbound strategy centered around content, SEO, local visibility, and paid media alignment.

Strategic, Seasonal Content Alignment

We mapped content directly to homeowner behavior and seasonal demand trends across the year.

• Fall-focused remodel topics (bathrooms, basements, sunrooms)
• Holiday hosting and kitchen spotlight content
• Planning-focused blogs for upcoming year projects
• Financing and cost-based content to address buyer hesitation
• Ongoing optimization of high-performing legacy blogs

Expanded Local SEO & Micro-Location Growth

With strong authority already built in South Bend, we expanded deeper into surrounding towns and the nearby Michigan lakeshore.

We developed and optimized micro-location landing pages for core services, enhanced service pages with updated FAQs and schema, and strengthened internal linking between blogs and conversion pages.

Google Business Profile updates, seasonal posts, and project spotlights reinforced local visibility and trust signals.

Conversion & Lead Capture Optimization

With traffic steadily growing, the focus shifted to increasing conversion efficiency.

Key improvements included:

• Transitioning the remodeling cost guide into a gated landing page for better tracking and usability
• Strengthening CTAs across blogs and service pages
• Aligning content more tightly with active Google Ad campaigns
• Leveraging email marketing to nurture seasonal interest and warm leads

Paid Media That Amplified Organic Growth

Paid campaigns were layered strategically on top of SEO and content. Because the organic foundation was strong, paid campaigns performed more efficiently, improving overall return.

• Google Search campaigns targeted high-intent kitchen and addition searches
• Performance Max expanded reach within core service areas
• Meta Ads promoted the remodeling cost guide to build top-of-funnel traffic
• Retargeting audiences were built from blog and landing page engagement
  
  

The Results

By continuously refining and expanding this inbound system, Peacock & Company achieved a 5.57x ROI in 2025.

Seasonal, localized content attracted homeowners actively planning remodels.

Key Takeaways
