SEO for Swimming Pool Companies

Float to the Top of Search Rankings with Pool SEO Services

Whether you're a pool builder or your company focuses on pool repair and pool cleaning, you know how challenging the pool industry can be. It's hard work with thin margins, so you need to constantly attract new clients if you want to experience long-term, sustainable business growth. That's a difficult task that never really ends, but there's something that can ease the burden significantly: search engine optimization (SEO).

But not just any search engine optimization — your pool company is unique, and you need a one-of-a-kind SEO service that is tailored to boost your specific business goals. Digital Shift has a proven pool SEO strategy and the experience to adapt it to your company's needs. We know how to ensure that you appear high up in a search result whenever a potential customer enters a search query related to your pool business and service area. By increasing that organic search traffic, you'll get qualified leads more easily and build on that success to increase your revenue year after year.

Why SEO for Swimming Pool Companies Is Critical to Your Business Success

You may be wondering if pool SEO is really that big of a deal. Maybe you've tried to improve your SEO rankings before and it didn't seem to work that well, or you just didn't think you needed it.

Here's why search engine optimization is so crucial to your pool building or pool service company. In the past when someone needed pool contractors, they would ask their neighbors and friends to give them a recommendation, or look in the Yellow Pages to see who's listed, or call a number they saw on an advertisement. Those things don't happen so much anymore. Nowadays, people ask Google for a recommendation — and if Google doesn't recommend your website, they won't even know you exist.

When you enter relevant keywords such as "pool company + your city" into Google, do you have to scroll past a number of your competitors before you find a link to your website? Or, much worse, do you have to click over to the second page of search results to find your URL? That's not a good situation, because about 70% of clicks go to the first five results, and less than 1% of potential clients will click a link on the second search engine results page (SERP). If your site isn't at the top of search rankings in response to search terms that are relevant to your industry and local area, all the organic traffic is going to your competitors who are leveraging swimming pool SEO to their benefit. Since that's where the vast majority of qualified leads originate, you're missing out on a huge portion of prospective local clients who can't find you online.

•  A thorough SEO audit of your website design as it relates to technical SEO elements such as title tags, meta descriptions, and image tags.
• Original, engaging, high-quality content marketing for your website, such as informational blog posts and landing pages that will improve your keyword ranking, as well as off-site content such as social media posts and press releases.

Intelligent Keyword Research

Anyone can look up a list of generic keywords for pool builders, but that's actually not very useful. They are highly competitive keywords, and they aren't focused on your geographical region. You want clicks from your ideal clients — local people who need swimming pool service. Our local SEO research uncovers the achievable keywords that are being used by your potential customers in area-specific and industry-related searches. By optimizing your site for the correct target keywords that are relevant to your services and area, we can get you attention from  your ideal customers who need pool installers or a pool service professional right now and are ready to hire you.

Why Partner With Digital Shift on Swimming Pool Company SEO?

Anyone can buy a plastic kiddie pool and fill it up with their garden hose, but installing an in-ground pool is a major job that requires specialized tools and expertise. In the same sense, any SEO company can put a couple keywords on your website, but a truly effective digital marketing strategy for a pool business requires the help of a pool SEO expert who knows your industry and knows how to speak to your potential clients.

Digital Shift has been in business since 2007, and we've worked hard to develop and hone SEO strategies that go the distance and have a meaningful impact on your business success.
