See who is outranking you
We run your site against the competitors taking your calls, and send back the pages costing you the work. No meeting, no pitch.
Six engagements and what each one actually needed. No rounded-up numbers, no logos we cannot explain, and nothing here we would not walk you through.
Free, and we read it ourselves. No pitch, no obligation, and 805.243.8321 if you would rather talk.
The case studies
Twelve visits a month from Google and 11 keywords, all of them the company name. We built a page for every city and every service, then layered video on top.
Read the case
A household name since 1965, certified on cars most shops turn away, and a rumour online. We fixed the visibility, then built the reputation engine to match.
Read the case
Three months without an order and a checkout that did not work, after two years with the last firm. Rebuilt in 120 days, with organic orders inside a week of launch.
Read the case
Fifty years of teaching that could only reach one room at a time. A studio in the house next door, a platform, and the keys handed to the family that runs it.
Read the case
Booking software for charter captains, built and run by us, at a flat $1.50 a passenger instead of a percentage of every trip.
Read the case An established name that was quietly invisible online. Reshot, rewritten and regrouped, with a search tool that proves buyers reach the right part.

Every case below is a real engagement, with the client named wherever approval was given and anonymised where it was not. Where we have verified figures, the numbers are on the page with the comparison period stated. Where we do not, we say so rather than reaching for a number that sounds good. A pool company, a collision shop, a brake manufacturer, a teaching platform and a booking product have almost nothing in common except the part we played.
Say plainly what the business looked like before we touched it.
Show the work, not a list of services we happen to sell.
Name the comparison period behind every figure on the page.
Leave out anything the client has not confirmed in writing.
How we write these
A number goes on a case study when we can point at where it came from and the period it covers. If a client has not signed off on a figure, it stays off the page, even when it is the best thing we have to say. You will find held items called out in plain sight on several of these pages rather than tidied away.
The same goes for names. Some clients are happy to be named and some are not, and an anonymised case is not a weaker one. It just means somebody's competitor does not get a free look at their playbook.
Anything you read here, you should be able to ask us to back up on a call.
“If a client has not signed off on a figure, it stays off the page, even when it is the best thing we have to say.” The Final Code
Every case here names the work, the state we found it in, and the period behind the figure. Most of these companies were good at the work long before being easy to find. If that sounds familiar, let us take a look. Learn more at TheFinalCode.com.
