Hulsey Roofing Success Story
Hulsey Roofing is a trusted, family-owned roofing company serving the St. Louis area. Known for their craftsmanship, reliability, and deep roots in the community, they’ve built a strong reputation through years of quality work and customer referrals. But even with a loyal customer base, Hulsey knew that in today’s digital-first world, reputation alone wasn’t enough. To reach more homeowners, they needed a stronger online presence.
The Challenge
Despite their excellent work and word-of-mouth referrals, Hulsey Roofing was getting lost online. Search terms like “roofing sunset hills” and “crestwood roofing company” weren’t driving traffic to their website — in fact, their site was buried several pages down in Google results. This meant they were missing out on homeowners actively searching for roofing solutions in their area.
Competing against both local competitors and national roofing brands, Hulsey needed an online strategy that could help them show up where it mattered most: in Google searches for roofing services.

By improving on-page optimization, strengthening local SEO, and producing fresh, relevant content, we helped them climb search rankings and capture high-intent traffic. Our efforts paid off quickly: organic clicks increased by more than 310%, impressions jumped 169%, and competitive keywords, such as “roofing sunset hills” and “crestwood roofing company,” earned top-ranking positions.
