About the Client

GutterXperts Regina is an exterior home services company serving Regina and surrounding communities with eavestrough, siding, soffit and fascia, cladding, roofing, door and window services. The business already had real demand and an established local reputation, but its website was not doing enough to capture high-intent search traffic or turn visitors into qualified inquiries.

This project became a practical home services website redesign and local SEO case study: improve the site structure, make services easier to understand, strengthen the technical search foundation, improve mobile usability and create clearer paths from a Google search to a quote request.

Project snapshot

  • Industry: Exterior home services / contractor
  • Market: Regina, Saskatchewan
  • Primary goal: Generate more qualified website leads from organic and local search
  • Work: Website redesign, web development, technical SEO, local SEO, service-page structure and conversion improvements

The project now serves as one of the clearest examples behind our home services website design work and our Regina web design approach.

The Challenge

The existing website was live, but it was not functioning as a dependable acquisition channel. The problem was not one isolated design issue. Several smaller weaknesses were working together:

  • Core services were not organized into a strong search and navigation structure.
  • Technical issues made the site harder for search engines to crawl and understand.
  • Service pages did not consistently match the intent behind high-value local searches.
  • Mobile visitors had too much friction between landing on a page and requesting an estimate.
  • Internal linking did not clearly reinforce which pages were most important.
  • The website did not communicate the business’s breadth of exterior services as clearly as it could.

For a local contractor, that combination matters. Search visibility only creates business value when the page a homeowner lands on quickly answers three questions: Do they provide the service I need? Do I trust them? What do I do next?

The goal was broader than making the site look better. We needed to turn an underperforming brochure site into a faster, more understandable lead-generation system.

The Results

In the documented measurement period following the rebuild and SEO improvements, GutterXperts Regina recorded stronger lead volume, better lead quality and improved technical performance.

Measured outcomes

  • 67% increase in website leads
  • 3× increase in qualified inquiries
  • 2.1-second Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
  • Improved local search visibility across core exterior-service searches

The important result was not simply more traffic. The site became better at connecting high-intent local searches with the right service page and a clearer estimate path.

This case study demonstrates how Regina web design, web development and local SEO can work together for a home services company instead of operating as separate tactics.

Web Design & Development

The redesign kept the recognizable GutterXperts brand while rebuilding the website around service discovery, trust and action. Instead of treating every page as a generic marketing page, the site was structured around the jobs homeowners were actually searching for.

Service architecture built around buyer intent

Major services such as eavestrough, siding, soffit and fascia, cladding and roofing were given clearer paths so a visitor could move from a specific need to the relevant information and then into an estimate request.

Key development and UX improvements included:

  • Restructuring service pages around distinct customer needs.
  • Improving navigation and internal paths between related exterior services.
  • Clarifying estimate and contact actions throughout the site.
  • Improving mobile layouts for users arriving from local search.
  • Resolving technical issues affecting crawlability and page performance.
  • Improving Core Web Vitals, including a documented 2.1-second Largest Contentful Paint.

This is the same principle behind our Regina web development work: the design, CMS structure, performance and conversion path have to support one another rather than being treated as separate tasks.

Search Engine Optimization

SEO was approached as an architecture problem first. Before adding more content, the website needed a clearer relationship between services, search intent and internal links.

Local SEO and technical work

  • Strengthened service-page targeting around high-intent local searches.
  • Improved crawlability and indexing signals.
  • Reworked page titles, headings and on-page structure.
  • Built stronger internal links between complementary services.
  • Aligned page copy with the language customers use when searching for exterior work in Regina.
  • Improved mobile performance and technical page quality.

The objective was not simply to produce more indexed pages. It was to make the most commercially useful pages easier for both users and search engines to understand.

That distinction is central to our Regina SEO work. Rankings are useful only when the page earns trust and turns the right visitor into a call, form submission or estimate request.

For contractors and trades businesses, the same structure also informs our construction and contractor website strategy.

Content & Conversion Strategy

The content strategy focused on useful commercial pages rather than publishing content for volume alone. Each important service needed enough information to answer the homeowner’s immediate questions, establish relevance and move the visitor toward an estimate.

We tightened service copy, clarified local context and reinforced related pages through internal links. Supporting content was then able to strengthen those core service pages instead of competing with them.

For a home services business, this creates a cleaner path from search query to service page to trust signal to quote request. That buyer-focused structure is now part of our broader home services website design framework.
