challenges

Granite Selection had low-profit margins and very little wiggle room

As a deep discounter in the stone industry, Granite Selection had low-profit margins and very little wiggle room when it came to enacting strategies that would improve sales and profit margin. The company struggled to penetrate the market amid the sea of tough competitors. Prospects could not find Granite Selection’s previous website online, further reducing demand for the company’s products.

Results

Fast Start Out of the Gate

It took time, but the payoff was significant. It took roughly two and a half years of steady SEO work before the account hit its stride, moving from a slow build-up into a clear compounding phase by March 2021, 30 months after launch.

Publicly verifiable on Semrush, organic traffic grew from roughly 4,200 to nearly 67,000 visitors per month over that window, a 1,489% increase, or almost a 15-fold expansion in keyword-driven visibility, and that’s only the slice Semrush can see.

Internal Growth Portal tracking shows the rest of the picture: total inquiries rose 221%, while blended cost per lead dropped 68% to its lowest point in the account’s history, meaning traffic wasn’t just bigger, it was converting more efficiently too.

Specific client volumes remain confidential under NDA; the Semrush figure is the publicly verifiable anchor.
