From Invisible to Inbound in Two Weeks

Industry
Concrete — driveways, patios, sidewalks, steps, flatwork
Location
Northeast Ohio
Before Dropset
50–60 jobs per summer, 100% word of mouth, zero online presence

A concrete contractor in Northeast Ohio built a solid business over five years on pure word of mouth. Fifty to sixty jobs a summer. His customers trusted him. His work spoke for itself.

But when you searched for his business online — nothing. No website. No Google listing. No reviews. No social media. Every potential customer searching for a concrete contractor in his area was finding competitors instead. Even the ones doing worse work.

On top of that, he was doing everything himself. Every call, every estimate, every job, every follow-up. He'd come home after a full day of pouring concrete and spend his evening calculating estimates by hand. No systems. No documentation. No way to hand anything off.

The business ran because he never stopped running.

What We Built

Deliverable Details
Google Business Profile Created, optimized, verified. Full description, service areas, hours, photos, categories.
Website Professional site on Squarespace. Mobile-first. Clear services, service area, contact — built to convert.
Facebook Business Page Set up, branded, linked to website and Google.
Review Generation Simple text message script to send past customers. Target: 6–8 real reviews in the first month.

The Results

  • Google Business Profile live and verified

  • Created a Live Website

  • Facebook Business Page active and branded

  • First reviews from real past customers

  • Inbound inquiries from new customers who found their company through Google — people the owner had never met or been referred to

Before working with us, every customer came through word of mouth. Within two weeks of going live, the owner started receiving calls from people who found the business online. That had never happened in five years of running the business.

What’s Next

With the digital foundation in place, the next phase is operational. We’re building an estimator app so the crew can price jobs on site from their phones instead of doing the math by hand every evening. After that: an intake system, process documentation, and monthly management to keep everything performing.

The Engine. The infrastructure that turns a one-man operation into a business that can scale.
