Where It Started & How It's Going

Peninsula Homes had a beautiful portfolio but their website was invisible to people actively searching for high-end custom builders in their specific service areas.

Before

  • Ranking for broad, low-intent keywords
  • High volume of unqualified leads
  • Poor local visibility in target suburbs
  • Portfolio pages lacking SEO structure

After

  • Top 3 rankings for "custom home builder [suburb]"
  • Significant increase in high-budget project enquiries
  • Dominant local map pack presence
  • Optimised portfolio driving long-tail traffic

The Strategy

We shifted the focus from traffic volume to traffic quality, targeting specific, high-intent keywords related to premium custom home building in affluent suburbs.

Intent-Based Keyword Research

Identified and targeted keywords used by clients ready to build.

Location Page Strategy

Built dedicated pages for key target suburbs to capture local search.

Portfolio Optimisation

Structured project galleries to rank for specific design styles and features.

Authority Building

Acquired links from high-authority architecture and design publications.

The Results

By focusing on intent, we dramatically improved the quality of leads, resulting in more signed contracts for premium builds.
