SBO Case Study Objectives
SBO stands for Search Box Optimization
The cost of acquiring new customers was getting out of hand, and HomeTown Restoration needed to decrease the cost per customer acquisition.
Their average cost per call on water damage for Local Services Ads had increased to $260, and his Google PPC Ad costs also kept growing.
He jumped at the opportunity to lower his overall marketing costs with a low fixed-local monthly fee with Search Box Optimization.
They purchased “water damage” keywords in 5 areas.

Here’s what the owner of HOMETOWN Restoration has to say about SBO:
“Search Box Optimization is extremely important for our company because our marketing costs were getting out of control. I started with 5 areas and because of the success of the SBO program, I’m going to expand to more areas.
