Client case study / Kiker Construction
Kiker Construction: $10M+ in tracked project opportunity value
A referral-led builder now has a digital presence that reflects the scale of its work. SommeTech rebuilt Kiker around residential, commercial and steel construction, connected those services to local search, and created a clear quote path. The results span search visibility, sustained website readership and more than $10 million in client-reported project opportunity value.

The work behind the results
From a better website to a stronger business presence
01Make the breadth of the business discoverable
Separate residential, commercial and steel pages, supported by location content and internal links, give each service its own search entry point. The June 15-July 15 report records 150+ page-one queries, including 106 averaging positions 1-3. Organic visitors averaged 2 minutes 13 seconds of engagement, and 24 of 33 returning users came through Organic Search.

02Turn visibility into visits to relevant pages
The June 15-July 15 report recorded 161 search clicks and a 6.2% click-through rate. September later recorded 187 search clicks, including 98 to the barndominium page. In the August 16-September 12 report, 175 of 238 organic sessions were engaged—approximately 74%—giving a clearer picture of search audience quality than raw all-channel traffic.

03Give project interest a clear destination
Project imagery, service detail, FAQs and the quote-intake flow help prospective clients evaluate the work and make contact. August 16-September 12 reporting reconciles 8 successful form submissions and 14 website calls from 12 callers, including 8 answered calls. Separately, the client reports more than $10M in tracked project opportunities since launch. Contact activity and opportunity pipeline are distinct from collected revenue.

The starting point
What the business needed
Kiker needed a website that could explain the range of its construction work and help prospective clients find the right service. Residential homes, commercial work and steel buildings require distinct content and project context; a single general-purpose page cannot tell each story in depth.
Project scope
- Custom website
- Service and location page architecture
- Construction project presentation
- Search tracking
How the work fits together
01
Give each construction service a clear home
The website is organized around residential, commercial and steel construction. Dedicated pages let a prospective client explore the relevant type of work before making contact. Project presentation, service descriptions and quote pathways work together to explain the business.
02
Connect services with local search intent
Service and location pages connect Kiker’s construction capabilities with the searches prospective clients make. The barndominium content cluster, commercial pages and internal links provide focused entry points instead of sending every visitor through a generic homepage.
03
Give interested visitors a clear next step
Project presentation, service detail, FAQs and a quote-intake flow help visitors understand the work and start an inquiry. Analytics and search tracking make it possible to distinguish audience growth from the project opportunities reported by the client.

Beyond the website build
The engagement continues with commercial guides, service-page improvements, local content and technical SEO. A documented update expanded the buildout-versus-tenant-improvement guide and strengthened the existing service page while preserving its URLs and canonical addresses.
