Houston HVAC Company Triples Online Leads with New Website & SEO

HVAC / Home Services
312% Lead Increase
#1 Google Ranking
4.2s → 1.1s Load Time
67% More Traffic

A family-owned HVAC company in the Houston Heights had been operating for 15 years with an outdated website built on a free template. Their site was not mobile-friendly, loaded slowly, and did not appear in local search results. Despite excellent reviews from customers, they were losing business to competitors with better online visibility. Leads from the website had dropped to fewer than five per month.

We built a completely custom responsive website designed around their brand identity and service areas across greater Houston. The new site featured fast-loading pages, click-to-call functionality, an online booking form, and service area pages targeting specific Houston neighborhoods. We then implemented a comprehensive local SEO strategy that included Google Business Profile optimization, citation building across 40+ directories, on-page keyword targeting for high-value terms like "AC repair Houston" and "Houston HVAC company," and a monthly blog content plan addressing common homeowner questions.

Within six months, the company ranked #1 for "HVAC company Houston Heights" and appeared on page one for 12 additional high-value keywords. Monthly website leads increased from 5 to over 20, and phone calls from the website more than doubled. The new site loads in 1.1 seconds on mobile, and the company has added two service trucks to handle the increased demand.

"Strickland Technology completely transformed our business. We went from barely getting any calls from our website to having more work than we can handle. The new website looks professional and customers tell us they chose us because our site made us look trustworthy."

Katy Law Firm Dominates Local Search with SEO & Digital Marketing

Legal / Professional Services
850% Organic Traffic
45+ Leads / Month
Page 1 23 Keywords
$0 Ad Spend

A personal injury law firm in Katy, TX was spending over $8,000 per month on Google Ads to generate leads. Despite the significant ad spend, cost per lead was climbing and conversion rates were declining. Their website was template-based, lacked authority signals, and had no SEO foundation. They wanted to reduce dependence on paid advertising and build sustainable organic lead generation.

We redesigned their website with a focus on conversion optimization and legal industry best practices. Key improvements included dedicated practice area pages, attorney profile pages with schema markup, client testimonial sections, and prominent trust signals including bar association memberships and case results. Our SEO team executed a 12-month strategy targeting personal injury keywords in Katy and West Houston, built high-quality legal directory backlinks, and published two SEO-optimized blog posts per month addressing common legal questions. We also launched targeted social media campaigns to build brand awareness in the Katy community.

After 12 months, the firm ranked on page one for 23 target keywords including "personal injury lawyer Katy TX" and "car accident attorney Houston." Organic traffic increased 850% and the firm now generates over 45 qualified leads per month entirely through organic search and referrals. They eliminated their $8,000/month Google Ads spend while increasing total lead volume by 60%. The firm has since hired two additional attorneys to handle the caseload growth.

"We were spending a fortune on Google Ads and getting mediocre results. Strickland Technology built us a website that actually ranks on its own. We stopped running ads completely and we are getting more leads than ever. The ROI has been incredible."

Houston Restaurant Group Launches Multi-Location Digital Presence

Restaurant / Hospitality
3 Locations Launched
189% Online Orders
4.8★ Google Rating
$42K Monthly Revenue

A family-owned restaurant group with three locations across Houston had a single outdated website that did not differentiate between locations. Online ordering was handled through a third-party platform that charged 30% commissions, cutting deeply into margins. Each location had inconsistent Google Business Profile information, leading to customer confusion and missed revenue. The owners needed a unified digital strategy that worked for all three locations while keeping costs manageable.

We designed a multi-location website with individual landing pages for each restaurant location, complete with unique menus, hours, directions, and location-specific photo galleries. We integrated a direct online ordering system that eliminated third-party commissions and kept 100% of revenue in-house. Each location received its own Google Business Profile optimization, local SEO targeting, and review generation strategy. We also implemented an AI-powered chatbot to handle common questions about reservations, catering, and menu inquiries across all three locations simultaneously.

Within four months, online orders increased 189% as customers shifted from third-party platforms to direct ordering. The restaurant group saves over $12,000 per month in commission fees. All three locations now appear in the Google Local Pack for their respective neighborhoods. The AI chatbot handles an average of 150 customer inquiries per week, freeing up staff to focus on in-restaurant service. Combined monthly revenue from online channels grew to $42,000.

"We were giving away thousands every month in delivery app commissions. Strickland Technology built us a system where customers order directly from us. The website pays for itself every single week. And the AI chatbot is like having an extra employee that never calls in sick."

Medical Practice Grows Patient Base 40% with Web Design & AI Integration

Healthcare / Medical
40% New Patients
92% Calls Answered
35 Appts / Week Online
Page 1 15 Keywords

A multi-physician medical practice in the Houston Medical Center area was losing potential patients due to an outdated website with no online scheduling capability. Their front desk staff was overwhelmed with phone calls, and an estimated 30% of calls went unanswered during peak hours. The practice had no search engine visibility for common patient search terms and was entirely dependent on physician referrals for new patients.

We built a HIPAA-compliant custom website with integrated online appointment scheduling, provider profile pages with credentials and specialties, patient education resources, and a secure patient portal. We deployed an AI-powered phone agent that answers calls during peak hours and after business hours, captures patient information, schedules appointments, and routes urgent calls to on-call staff. Our medical SEO strategy targeted condition-specific and location-based keywords, built authoritative healthcare directory listings, and established the practice as a trusted local health resource through blog content.

The practice saw a 40% increase in new patient acquisitions within the first year. The AI phone agent now handles 35% of all incoming calls and captures appointments that would have previously been lost to voicemail. Online scheduling accounts for 35 appointments per week. The practice ranks on page one for 15 healthcare-related keywords in the Medical Center area. Patient satisfaction scores improved as wait times for phone support decreased significantly.

"The AI phone system alone was worth the entire investment. We were losing patients every day because nobody could answer the phone fast enough. Now every call is handled, every appointment is captured, and our doctors can focus on patient care instead of worrying about the phones."
