Mold SEO Is a Multi-Year Plan. Here Is What Each Year Looked Like for One Company.

By the Mold Inbound team · · Based on a mold removal and inspection case study

Owners often ask how long SEO takes. The honest answer is months for the first results and years for the big ones. A Washington mold removal and inspection company working with Logic Inbound shows what that looks like, year by year.

The company had been in business since 2007 and had grown on referrals. As more mold companies competed online, referrals alone stopped being enough.

Year one: clean up

The site had too many pages saying nearly the same thing. They were merged, the important pages were rewritten and optimized, and link building started. Most mold company websites we audit need this step: a dozen thin "mold removal in [city]" pages are weaker than a few strong ones.

Year two: research again

Once the site began to rank, the keyword research was redone around what was working, and local citations were built out.

Year three: expand what works

No reinvention. The reporting showed what was producing traffic and leads, and that work was extended.

Year four: the map pack

More effort went into the Google Business Profile, plus more authority links.

The result

Organic users went from 2,725 in 2018 to 19,825 in 2021, more than seven times as many, with organic conversions rising alongside.

For your own site

  • Merge thin, overlapping pages before writing new ones
  • Build pages around what people ask: cost, process, crawlspace, attic, basement, after a leak
  • Keep health content factual and sourced
  • Plan in years, and measure calls and jobs, not just traffic
