Some architects and contractors come to us with only one marketing channel in mind—they want a website OR search engine optimization OR pay per click advertising. That won’t work—the best home builder marketing plans catch potential customers at all stages of the modern buyer’s journey. The problem with choosing only one or two is that not all marketing channels are right for all stages of the sales funnel:
That’s why we always encourage our clients to take a multi-channel approach when advertising a design/build business.
Determine Your True Marketing ROI with Advanced Analytics & Tracking
If you’re like most architects or custom home builders, you don’t have the time or resources to waste on ineffective advertising strategies. That’s why at Blue Corona, we accurately measure and track each and every advertising campaign (from pay per click to SEO to e-mail newsletters and more) to find out which advertising and marketing strategies work and which should be changed or eliminated. When it comes to marketing your company, digital will always trump old strategies like home builder billboards and print ads.
But don’t worry! You won’t receive loads of reports or spreadsheets to analyze! We understand that you’re busy running your firm and you simply don’t have time for that. That’s why we’ll also analyze your data and give you actionable recommendations to measurably improve your performance.

Improve Your Search Engine Rankings With SEO & Content Marketing
To rank well organically, you must establish and promote your home design firm as THE authority for what you do, in the markets you do it. Ranking well on Google, Bing, and Yahoo! requires three things:
- Your website must be coded in a way that makes it easy for the search engines’ software to find, crawl, and categorize. At Blue Corona, our web team specializes in designing websites and landing pages that are not only visually appealing, but also are highly optimized for search engines—allowing your design/build firm to get more traffic, leads, and sales from the web.
- You must create web page after web page of unique, relevant, and remarkable content. Our content marketing team has extensive experience writing online content (including blogs, landing pages, press releases, email newsletters, ebooks, and more!) for remodeling and design/build companies—so you won’t have to write a thing (unless you want to!).
- You must promote your site to other relevant and authoritative websites and get them to link to, reference, and cite you as an authority. Unlike other SEO companies, you’ll never have to worry about us building shady links that will get you penalized by Google!
When you hire Blue Corona as your home design/build SEO company and content marketing partner, you’ll receive a dedicated account manager as well as a support team that includes an analyst, web designer/developer, and a dedicated, professional copywriter. You’ll also receive detailed monthly reports that connect your website’s SEO performance to your firm’s bottom line.
“OUR KEYWORD WEB SEARCH PLACEMENT HAS TAKEN US FROM ALMOST INVISIBLE TO FIRST PAGE ON HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT SEARCH CRITERIA. PEOPLE ARE FINDING US THROUGH GENERIC SEARCHES, WHICH WAS THE GOAL INSTEAD OF HAVING TO RELY ON PEOPLE KNOWING WHO WE WERE TO FIND OUR SITE. THE OVERALL WEB TRAFFIC INCREASE TO OUR SITE HAS BEEN REMARKABLE.

Maximize Your Search Engine Real Estate With Local Search Optimization
Did you know that nearly half of total Google search queries have local intent? In addition to improving your organic search engine listings with SEO services, if you’re a local architect or design/build firm, it’s also vital that you optimize for Google’s local listings. These seven local listings often appear before the organic listings, leading to better click-through-rates for your company from potential customers.
As an award-winning SEO company, we understand that the more listings you have on the first page of search results—including local listings, organic listings, and paid listings—the better. Our local SEO services will increase your architect or design/build firm’s visibility for geographically related searches.

Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical
Problem
A prominent Nexstar member servicing the Phoenix Valley, Penguin Air, Plumbing & Electrical first came to Blue Corona in 2019 in search of a new digital marketing partner. A once well-established brand in the Valley community, Penguin was quickly losing rankings, visibility, and customers to competitors that outranked and outperformed them on search engines. Historically, Penguin grew top-line revenue nearly 40% each year until 2019. Owners Wade and Will were ready to make the leap from the “biggest small guy” in the Valley to big-time players.
Solutions
A digital competitive analysis of Penguin’s online presence revealed multiple areas of opportunity across their website, organic search presence (SEO) and paid media (PPC, specifically).
