Case Study
SmartSource Rentals is one of the premier trade show, event and technology rental companies in the United States, with over 20 physical locations across the United States. Prior to working with Wheelhouse DMG, they had optimized their site for non-brand service and product offerings. They invested in blog post development, extensive link-building, video content, and some product-specific campaigns. When search engines – primarily Google – changed the SERP mix to highly localized results in 2016, SmartSource faced a new challenge: how best to leverage their nationwide presence to drive online leads.
Wheelhouse was brought in to help regain ground in Organic and Paid Search in early 2016, following a search penalty that created an additional hurdle for their lead generation efforts.
Wheelhouse DMG evaluated SmartSource’s organic search decline, their competitive atmosphere and the available opportunities for them to increase both organic traffic and web leads. Our teams were exhaustive in the evaluation and testing of various tactics, channels and initiatives and when successes were identified, iteration and testing continued. Rather than relying on a single channel, Wheelhouse pooled resources and collaborated to find the best possible results for SmartSource that drove true business value.
Wheelhouse DMG’s goal was to shift the focus of search away from service and product content to localized content that solved the needs of local event searchers while prioritizing lead gen form completion and driving users to onsite local pages that matched searcher intent.
Wheelhouse helps me understand the 'why' of our digital marketing efforts. They share the story behind the strategy, in a way that other agencies don’t. Their transparency and communication are unmatched!

Wheelhouse had previously been running non-brand advertising with success. However, when we began localizing our ad targeting, customizing content, and creating local ads within in Google Maps, we saw skyrocketing success. The integrated campaign not only regained lost traction in organic search results for SmartSource, but drove the most online leads in company history.
