Overview
A home services franchise group with over 5,500 locations across 19 brands faced a critical challenge: AI-driven search tools, including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, began diverting traffic away from traditional search results. This shift disrupted the organic traffic previously driven by blog content.
To address this, Clicks Wave Media optimized over 5,000 blog posts and refined workflows to future-proof the brand’s content strategy. The result was significant growth in AI visibility, lead generation, and publishing efficiency. This OMMA Award–winning campaign demonstrated the power of an SEO-driven approach in navigating the AI era.
Challenge/Opportunity
- Challenge: Traditional SEO tactics, focused on rankings and traffic volume, were no longer sufficient to maintain visibility in AI search.
- Opportunity: By optimizing existing content for AI search and lead conversion, the brands could regain visibility, attract engaged traffic, and increase leads.
