ThoroughCare

Digital Health Technology Company Doubles Annual Revenue — 4 Years in a Row

Dan Godla knew he was onto something. As a veteran of the healthcare industry, he had grown frustrated by unintuitive, unreliable platforms that were holding back caregivers. “As a growing startup, we could move pretty fast,” says Dan. “Our core product did a lot of what these new programs were asking to do, and we added the missing features until we had the solution doctors needed.” Even with a good product, growth was slow in such a crowded industry. Dan and his team needed to do something to break through.

HVAC Company Commits to Delivering Value — and Grows Revenue by $1M

Dalinghaus

Foundation Repair Business Grows Sales by 40% in One Year With They Ask, You Answer

The Dalinghaus team was spending heavily on paid search ads. Brad Dalinghaus had heard it all before. His team had worked with several agencies over the years, and every single one had prescribed the same solution: You need a new website. But several expensive website redesigns failed to deliver results — as did the mediocre blog articles the agencies would write. On top of that, the Dalinghaus team was spending heavily on paid search ads. It was clear that something had to change.

Bill Ragan Roofing

Local Roofer Masters They Ask, You Answer and Dominates Service Area

Bill and Taffy happened upon Marcus’s book, and the message resonated with them. It made so much sense: With the right content, they could attract would-be buyers to their website. Rather than blasting out mailers and radio ads, they could have potential customers come to them.

“I started reading the book,” recalls Bill. “I thought, ‘this is fantastic, we can do this.’ ”

Berry Insurance

Family-Owned Insurance Company Triples Revenue From Search

Would people even want to read about insurance?
