Who you are, what you've built, how you show up today.
Who They Are
Mike and Sarah Russo have been installing floors in Delaware County since 2011 — fifteen years building a reputation one job at a time. They run a tight 4-person crew with two trucks, serving Columbus, Westerville, Delaware, and Powell.
What They've Built
94 Google reviews at 4.9 stars — the top rating among flooring contractors in the local market. Over 90% of their business comes from referrals and repeat clients; they've barely spent a dollar on advertising.
How They Show Up
Their website is a basic WordPress template from 2019 with no project gallery, no service pages, and no SEO. Buyers who find them are ready to act — but there's no quote form, no phone above the fold, and no reason to stay.
"They took our outdated site and turned it into something we're genuinely proud to send people to. Calls started coming in within 60 days of launch."

— Dave M., PowellA snapshot of where your online presence stands today.
4.9 stars across 94 reviews is a trust asset most competitors can't touch.
15 years in the market with a loyal referral base means buyers are already primed to choose Riverside.
Hardwood, LVP, tile, and refinishing gives Riverside cross-sell potential competitors can't match.
Owner Mike has hundreds of job-site photos on file — an immediate gallery ready to close deals.
No ranking for any of the 15+ primary flooring keywords in the Columbus market.
No quote request form, no booking link, no phone number above the fold.
Flooring is a visual purchase. Your best work is on job sites — not online, where it can sell for you.
Side-by-side with the top competitors in your space.
The two leading digital competitors hold the top local search positions not because they're better, but because they invested in their web presence years earlier.

Competitors hold the first page — Riverside doesn't appear
The exact questions your prospects type into Google — with monthly volume.
These are the searches happening in the Columbus metro right now. Every one of them is a buyer who has already decided to hire someone — they just don't know who yet.
Flooring searches in Central Ohio peak March through June. Acting now means your new site earns authority before the busiest window.
Google now answers local service questions before any website links — the businesses it names earned that placement, not paid for it. Here's where Riverside Flooring Co. stands.
Trust Foundation
4.9★ reviews + 15-year tenure — strong trust signals that just need to be surfaced online.
Proven Track Record
15 years of quality work — none of it documented online in a format Google or AI can read.
Helpful Content
No FAQs, no guides, no project breakdowns — nothing for AI assistants to cite as expertise.
Structured Data
No schema markup — Google can't confirm the service area, business type, or categories with confidence.
Here's what we build in on day one
Specific, prioritized recommendations — not a generic checklist.
Built around Riverside's 4.9-star reputation, real project photos, and a clear path to get a quote. Designed to turn a visitor who's already decided to hire someone into a Riverside customer.
Title tags, schema markup, and keyword-targeted service pages. Built to rank for Columbus flooring searches within 90 days of launch.
Dedicated pages for hardwood, LVP, tile, and refinishing — each targeting the searches buyers actually type. Plus location pages for Columbus, Westerville, Delaware, and Powell.
Mike has hundreds of job-site photos on file. A gallery organized by room and material type gives buyers the visual proof they need — and flooring is a purchase where pictures close deals.
Missing service categories, outdated hours, 3 unanswered reviews. A fully built-out GBP can drive 30–50 additional calls per month — at zero ad cost.
A monthly photo + story series from real Riverside jobs — formatted for the website, Instagram, and GBP posts simultaneously. One photo session, three channels.
Additional growth levers we'd put to work for you.
Your current profile is missing 40% of available categories. A fully built-out GBP can drive 30–50 additional calls per month.
A quote request form with material type and room size fields reduces phone intake and captures leads at midnight.
You're already at 4.9 stars. An automated review request after each job could push you to 150+ reviews by year's end.
A lightweight CRM captures every lead and flags past clients who haven't hired you in 2 years — a natural refinishing trigger.
Here's the math — and it's conservative.
Conservative by design — here's exactly what we assumed
Craft, clarity, and a partnership that lasts past launch.

Technical architecture, development, and strategy — every site ships fast, accessible, and SEO-ready.
20+ years of senior UX/UI design. Every visual direction, every site, every time.
