Case Study
Wells Service and BizIQ
Taking back local jobs from
out-of-town competitors.

About Wells Service
Robert Wells has been in the HVAC industry since 1995 and launched his own business in 2005. Based in a small resort community with a population that swells to hundreds of thousands during peak seasons, Wells Service has built its reputation on personal service and word-of-mouth referrals. After years of operating steadily, Robert recently decided to grow the company further—not only for himself, but to create more opportunities for his loyal employees.
Unfortunately, Wells Service wasn’t showing up. His rankings had slipped to 15th place, when there weren’t even that many competitors in the area. Out-of-town companies were outranking him and taking away potential business.
“Word of mouth was still working, but people in their 30s buying vacation homes weren’t asking around—they were Googling, and I wasn’t coming up.” –Robert Wells
He needed to strengthen his online presence without overextending his small but growing team.
The BizIQ Solution
Robert reached out to several marketing companies but found most wanted him to commit to everything—radio, print, social media—immediately. That didn’t fit his goals. “BizIQ listened,” Robert said. “I wasn’t ready to go full force, so they gave me options and let me start slow.”
Working together with his account manager, BizIQ focused first on building a stronger online foundation:
- Website Optimization: Revamped the site to be customer-friendly and more search-visible.
- Google Business Profile: Updated and optimized listings so the business could rank locally.
- Reputation Building: Created a review strategy, including direct outreach to loyal customers.
- Step-by-Step Growth: Adjusted services to Robert’s pace, allowing gradual scaling.The results were immediate.
The BizIQ team’s communication style also made a big difference. “They explain things well, but they also understand when I already know the basics, so we don’t waste time. That works really well for me.”
The Results
The impact was clear within weeks of launching:
- Higher Rankings: Wells Service went from 15th place in Google search results to consistently ranking 5th and up.
- More Reviews: By following BizIQ’s advice, Robert gained 10 new Google reviews in just two days, with more on the way.
- Increased Calls: Customers searching online began finding his nearby business instead of competitors from an hour away.
- Smoother Communication: Robert now has weekly marketing updates and clear action steps, keeping him confident about the work being done.
Why BizIQ?
For Robert, BizIQ’s flexibility and personalized approach set them apart.
“They are very good at listening to my desires instead of trying to sell me everything. They work with me where I’m at, and that’s why I’d recommend BizIQ to anyone.”
With BizIQ’s support, Wells Service is no longer hidden behind competitors—it’s showing up, growing steadily, and building the kind of digital presence that matches its strong reputation for customer care.
