The Challenge

A New Company That Needed to Be Found on Google

Permanent Lighting PDX was founded in 2025 to bring year-round permanent lighting to Portland-area homes. As a new company, it needed homeowners searching on Google to find it, trust it and ask for a quote.

Permanent lighting is a considered purchase. Homeowners want to see the product, understand the process and know what it costs before they reach out. So we rebuilt the website around the quote request, ran a 60-day SEO campaign behind it, and tracked every form so the results are clear.

The Goal
  • Get found on Google for every permanent and holiday lighting service
  • Reach homeowners in both Portland and Vancouver
  • Explain the product and process clearly enough to earn trust
  • Turn visitors into free quote requests
  • Track every form submission from day one
The Result
  • Dedicated pages for all 8 lighting services, plus Portland and Vancouver
  • 2.83K appearances in Google search from Sep 22 to Oct 20
  • 70 organic visitors, 42% of everyone who visited the site
  • 19 form submissions from 14 organic visitors
  • 20% of organic visitors sent a form, or 1 in 5
Our Approach

A New Website, Backed by SEO

We rebuilt the site around the quote request, then ran a 60-day SEO campaign to bring the right Portland and Vancouver homeowners to it.

  1. Phase 1

    A Redesign Built Around the Free Quote

    "Request a Free Quote" buttons repeat throughout the site, alongside a click-to-call number and an embedded quote form. Trust signals sit right where visitors decide: Certified Bosso Dealer status, a 5-year warranty and a free design mockup before any commitment.

  2. Phase 2

    Answers Before the First Call

    A How It Works page walks homeowners through the process step by step, an FAQ page covers the common questions, and a project gallery shows real installs.

  3. Phase 3

    60 Days of SEO for Every Service and Both Cities

    Dedicated, search-optimized pages for all 8 services, from permanent Christmas lights and roofline lighting to landscape and security lighting. Plus location pages for Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA, so the site shows up for searches on both sides of the river.

    Tracking From Day One

Key Takeaways

What This Case Study Shows

Permanent Lighting PDX's first 60 days show that a new company doesn't need huge traffic to win leads. It needs the right visitors landing on a site built to convert them.

Make Every Visitor Count

70 organic visitors turned into 19 form submissions. When a site is built around the quote request, even early traffic brings in leads.

A Page for Every Search

Dedicated pages for each service and both cities helped the site appear in Google search 2.83K times in its first month of data.

Build Trust Before the Call

Bosso certification, a 5-year warranty, a free design mockup and a clear process page answer the big questions before a homeowner reaches out.

Track From Day One

Every form submission is tracked, so it's clear exactly what 60 days of SEO delivered.
