Why anonymised data matters
Every post in this section is derived from a real monthly performance report — scraped, structured, and published with all identifying details removed. Business names are replaced with the trade category, exact addresses are omitted, and metro-level geography is kept.
What the data covers
Each case study reports on GBP search views, website clicks, phone calls from GBP, direction requests, lead action totals, and estimated revenue value — the same metrics home service contractors see in their own Google Business Profile dashboard. We add the market context: how many people are searching in that metro, what competitors hold in reviews, and what the top local competitor looks like.
How these results are achieved
ES Studios manages Local SEO for home service contractors across the US — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, and landscaping. Monthly reports include the exact work completed: posts published, review replies drafted, photos uploaded, citations updated. The results here reflect that compounding work, not a single optimisation.
