Case Study: Glass City Hauling — From No Website to Ranking on Google
How we took a moving and junk removal business from zero online presence to 42 indexed pages and active search visibility.
Glass City Hauling, a moving and junk removal business, came to us without a functioning website and with zero presence on Google. If a potential customer searched for moving or junk hauling services in their area, there was no way to find them online at all.
The Starting Point
- No functioning website
- Not indexed or appearing on Google
- No Google Business Profile activity
- No visibility on Bing
- No way for online searchers to find or contact the business
For a moving and junk hauling business, that's a direct hit to lead flow. These are the kinds of services people actively search for right when they need them, and if you're not showing up in that moment, the job goes to whoever is.
What We Did
Built a brand-new, mobile-optimized website.
Most people searching for a same-day hauling or moving service are doing it from their phone, so the site was built mobile-first to make it easy to find services and get in touch fast.
Set up and submitted a working sitemap.
Got the site properly structured so Google could actually crawl and index it.
Added Google Search Console.
Gives ongoing visibility into how the site performs in search and flags any indexing issues early.
Added Bing Webmaster Tools.
Extended visibility beyond Google to capture additional search traffic.
Actively working on Google Business Profile verification.
Getting the profile claimed, built out, and verified so the business shows up properly in local search and Maps results, this is in progress now.
The Results So Far
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Sitemap status | Success |
| Discovered pages | 42 |
| Indexed by Google | Yes |
Going from zero indexed pages and no functioning website to 42 discovered and indexed pages is the foundation this business needed. Every one of those pages is now a potential way for someone searching for moving or junk removal services to find Glass City Hauling instead of a competitor.
Why This Matters
A moving and hauling business lives on inbound demand, people need the service now, and they're searching for it now. Without a working website or any Google presence, Glass City Hauling was invisible at exactly the moment customers were looking for them. With the new site indexed, Search Console and Bing in place, and the Google Business Profile verification underway, they're now positioned to actually capture that demand instead of losing it to competitors who show up first.
