Case Study

NRX Asphalt
A Site That Works as Hard as Tex Does.

Tex runs one of Columbus's best asphalt sealing operations. He was buried on page 3 of Google, losing jobs to competitors who were nowhere near as good.

The Challenge

The work was great.
Google didn't know it.

Buried on page 3 for every search that mattered.

4,000+ monthly Columbus asphalt searches, zero first-page presence. Competitors with inferior work were capturing every job Tex should have been winning — not because they were better, but because they were easier to find.

Full SEO setup including Google Business Profile optimization and location pages targeting every Columbus service area.

No Google Business Profile to speak of.

Few reviews, incomplete information, photos from years ago. The GBP was invisible to anyone searching for asphalt work near them — the first thing every searcher sees was effectively a blank slate.

Complete Google Business Profile rebuild, review collection automation, consistent posting schedule.

An outdated site that made the business look small.

Template design that undermined Tex's actual scale and experience. Nothing on the site communicated his 15+ years in the trade or the size of his operation — visitors couldn't tell him apart from a one-truck operation.

Brand identity and site rebuilt to communicate Tex's 15+ years and fleet-sized operation.

Zero mobile optimization. Half the traffic was bouncing.

60% of visitors were on mobile phones. Bounce rate north of 80%. The site was losing more than half its traffic before a single word was read — on the device most homeowners use to find contractors.

Mobile-first build, fast load times, tap-to-call prominent on every page.

Leads came in but no follow-up system existed.

Quote requests came in by email, responses took days. Competitors called back in minutes. NRX was losing jobs to slower businesses on paper alone — the work was never even compared.

Automated lead response via CRM — prospects hear from NRX within 60 seconds of submitting.

Conservative by design — here's exactly what we assumed

1,200 monthly searches for asphalt & sealcoating in the Columbus metro area
5.5% click-through rate — realistic for a #1 map pack position with verified GBP dominance
9% conversion rate — 60-second CRM response closes the window before competitors answer
$2,800 average residential job value — conservative for Columbus market; commercial contracts are upside

Before Aspire, we were buried on page 3. Now we get more calls in a week than we used to get in a month. Best investment this company has ever made.
