A new site that started getting calls and quote requests within 30 days of launch

Symes SA is a family-owned Adelaide pest control business run by one licensed technician, Edward Symes. Two months ago we started work, rebuilt the site on a topical map with semantic SEO, and in the first 30 days after launch it brought in 17 quote requests and 29 calls and emails, all from Google search.

What we did

Topical SEO and semantic SEO, from the ground up

Pest control is a busy search category, and Symes SA covers more than one kind of job. So before writing a word, we mapped everything an Adelaide homeowner might search for and gave every topic its own clear page. Read more about topical authority and semantic SEO.

The topical mapA 61-page plan

Every service, problem and suburb the business handles, organised so each page has one job and nothing competes with itself.

Pest control

Treatment pages for the pests Adelaide homes actually deal with.

Possum removal

Humane removal and proofing, with its own set of suburb pages.

Solar and roof proofing

Bird proofing under solar panels and around the roof line.

Semantic writing

Each page answers the questions people really ask, in plain words, and links to the next thing they need.

Guides that support the services

Helpful guides sit under the service pages and point readers back to them, so the whole site works together.
