West Side Salvage

Challenge

West Side Salvage’s website did not reflected the round‑the‑clock, rapid‑response nature of the company. The site was out of date, difficult to navigate, lacked a clear call to action.

After the company was acquired in 2023, new ownership at WSS saw the opportunity in leveraging digital marketing to generate new business.

Solution

Metro Studios was hired early 2024 to revamp their digital marketing, taking their existing website and giving it new life. After 3 months of research, strategy, design, and development, we relaunched their new website. It aligned with their new core segments of the business services: Emergency, Salvage, Maintenance.

Once the site was established and the core SEO was completed, our focus moved towards growing their topical authority in the space through consistent, thoughtful content creation. Plus, we expanded and refined their search advertising to capture leads in the most important areas of their business.

Result

The new website, content development, and Google Ads has increase forms, calls, and overall visibility of the company nationwide. Starting with 0 leads and very low traffic, they’ve now seen a stead increase in high value leads and 70% more organic traffic year over year.

SEO Structure

SEO Architecture & Linking

We re‑mapped the site into 3 categories of services and wired them together with contextual links across the site. Behind the scenes, HowTo schema, breadcrumb markup, and canonical cleanup give search engines an unambiguous crawl path—resulting in first‑page lifts for high‑intent phrases like “grain fires”, “silo cleaning”, etc.

Blog Strategy

Always‑On Content Engine

3 times a month we publish industry-topical posts—grain entrapment, grain fire studies and trends, maintenance tips, etc. Each article is part of a larger content strategy, to dominate their digital space. This rhythm feeds Google fresh expertise signals and funnels readers into the emergency‑hotline CTA. We’re not stuck on some pre-determined content list, rather we’re keeping a running list that changes based on what we’ve learned from the last post.

“Without Metro Studios, we would not be getting the type of quality calls and business we’re seeing today.”
