01 / THE CHALLENGE

Great work deserves to get found.

Burnside Express Collision serves West Indianapolis, Greenwood, and Zionsvillein a market filled with established independent repair shops and national collision repair chains.

Customers searching for collision repair, bumper repair, auto body work, and paint services have numerous options. Standing out requires more than a professional-looking website.

Our challenge was to help Burnside stand out through a coordinated digital marketing strategy connecting its website, search visibility, local presence, and paid advertising.

One coordinated digital strategy.

Rather than treating marketing channels as separate projects, LMP built an integrated approach designed to help more customers discover Burnside and take action.

Website Development

Rebuilt Burnside’s website on its existing domain to strengthen service content, search visibility, and customer engagement.

02 / DISCOVERY

Strengthened keyword targeting, location-specific content, and Google Business Profile visibility.

03 / ACQUISITION

Google Ads

Managed paid search campaigns to reach customers actively researching collision repair services.

What these numbers mean: More impressions indicate greater search visibility. More clicks and organic users indicate increased website activity, not automatically more completed repairs or revenue.
04 / GOOGLE SEARCH VISIBILITY

65 tracked first-page Google rankings.

In September 2025, none of the original 30 tracked keywords appeared on Google’s first page. By October 2026, Burnside’s expanded keyword portfolio recorded 65 first-page rankings.

Domain Rating uses a logarithmic scale. It is not Google’s ranking score or a direct measure of revenue.

Our takeaway: Burnside’s results stand alongside published agency success stories. These examples provide context, not a standardized industry average or proof that one agency outperformed another.
The first year built momentum.
The next is about maximizing it.
THE BIGGER PICTURE

Growth isn’t a one-time project.

SEO is an ongoing investment in visibility, credibility, and the ability to compete. Our first year with Burnside Express Collision demonstrates the value of coordinating website development, SEO, local search, and Google Ads. Together, these efforts have supported stronger backlink metrics, expanded tracked first-page visibility, increased organic website activity, and meaningful customer engagement. The next objective is turning that progress into more qualified inquiries and measurable repair opportunities.
