Challenge
-
Domain Expired and Website Lost: The original GoodBondCleaning.com.au domain had expired without backup or renewal, causing the website to go offline entirely. With no server files or working CMS access, the business lost all indexed pages, previous SEO efforts, and years of digital credibility.
-
Traffic & Revenue Decline: Without a functioning website, the business lost all organic traffic, and customers could no longer find or contact the company online. This resulted in a sharp decline in daily inquiries, bookings, and brand recall in a highly competitive cleaning industry.
-
Reputation Risk: The business appeared “closed” to previous customers and agents, damaging relationships and trust. Competitors filled the void and began capturing branded search traffic originally meant for Good Bond Cleaning.
-
Zero Local Search Presence: The brand disappeared from local maps and search results for important keywords like “bond cleaning Brisbane,” “end of lease cleaning Ipswich,” and “exit cleaning Gold Coast,” making it invisible to high-intent local audiences.
-
No Visual Identity or Trust Signals: The outdated site lacked proper branding, customer testimonials, and certification indicators. Even when it was live, it failed to convert visitors into leads due to poor UX, slow loading times, and missing credibility elements.
-
Legacy SEO Neglected: The prior agency failed to implement structured SEO best practices. There were no optimized meta tags, heading structures, internal links, or structured content aligned with search intent or REIQ standards.
