Timberlake Trussworks is a small, family-owned and operated truss manufacturing business in rural Oklahoma. The business was nowhere to be found online in the beginning.

After crafting a simple website in the beginning with the help of another firm, Timberlake was finally online but wasn’t being found by any search engine or local listings online, such as Google, Yahoo, Yelp, Citysearch or others.

“To say the least, our website did not even show up online unless you typed in our exact web domain. So here we have this website that is supposed to drive us some business in the market of wood trusses, and the customers we want couldn’t even find us,” Brad Unruh said.

The Timberlake team realized just having a website wasn’t going to cut it. Luckily, they The Timberlake team realized just having a website wasn’t going to cut it. Luckily, they didn’t crumble under the pressure of salesmen selling Yellow Page ads. They realized the online market is the current and future platform for marketing to any customer, but they had to get noticed online somehow.

Timberlake began with rankings beyond the 10th page on Google, Bing and Yahoo for any niche keywords, such as “wood trusses in Oklahoma,” “wood truss OK,” “wood trusses in Oklahoma City,” “wood trusses in Kansas,” and more.

But, after several months of consistent online marketing, Genesis helped Timberlake turn the corner and show up with first page results.

Now, Timberlake ranks for each of the keywords above within the first page of results on search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing).

“As we rank better and keep our website on the first page of search engines, we get more calls. Since we get more calls and more people know about us, it sure does increase our business and help us grow!” Brad said.

Not only have rankings increased on search engines, but Not only have rankings increased on search engines, but website traffic has increased by nearly 200% and the on-site bounce rate (which is the rate at which people click and then leave the website) is down to 59%, meaning people stay on the site and visit more pages than ever before.

Genesis also implemented content creation techniques and encouraged the Timberlake team to begin blogging efforts. Now, Timberlake’s blogs and information have been highlighted in truss industry news around the country.

Together with the increase in search engine rankings, improvement of website traffic and industry news highlights, Brad estimates business has grown by 40% in the last year due to online marketing efforts by Genesis.
