How to read these case studies
What each number actually tells you
A big number only helps if you know what it measures. Here is what every metric on these cards measures, where it comes from, and how much weight it deserves when you compare one case study to another.
Calls
Calls
Phone calls counted by call tracking. For most service businesses this is the figure that pays the bills, so it leads the card wherever the case study has it. 578 in 30 days for a day spa is roughly 19 calls every day.
KW
Keywords ranked
How many different searches the site shows up for at all, measured in Ahrefs. A rising count means Google trusts the site with more topics. It is an early signal, not revenue on its own.
#1
Page 1 and #1 rankings
How many of those keywords sit on the first page, or in the first spot. Page one is where searchers actually click, so this count tells you more than the total keyword number.
Map
Map grid top 3
A grid of points across a town, each one checking where the business appears in the Google map pack. 90%+ top 3 means the business showed up in the top three at nine of every ten points checked, or more.
CPA
Cost per lead and CPA
What each lead or conversion cost in Google Ads: ad spend divided by conversions, pulled straight from the ad account. Lower is better, as long as the leads are real.
ROAS
ROAS
Return on ad spend: revenue divided by ad spend. A 1,289% peak ROAS works out to about $12.89 in sales for every $1 spent on ads during that stretch.
Straight answers
Questions owners ask after reading case studies
Skeptical is the right starting point. Call 631-612-6976 and ask us anything about these results.
Are these real clients and real numbers?
Yes. These are Design ME Marketing clients, and every figure on this page is taken from their own accounts: Google Ads, Google Analytics, Ahrefs, rank tracking, and call tracking dashboards. Figures shown with a plus sign are floors taken from the account. Each full case study walks through the work behind the headline numbers.
Why are some of these businesses outside Long Island?
Most of our clients are in Nassau and Suffolk, but we also work with businesses nationwide. Five of these nine case studies are Long Island businesses in Sayville, Bohemia, Deer Park, Melville, and the Huntington, Commack, and Greenvale area. The other four are in Baton Rouge, Bozeman, and Saratoga Springs.
How long did these results take?
It depends on the service. Google Ads moves fastest: the Spine Center of Louisiana results came in 5 weeks. SEO takes longer. My Jockey hit 120 calls in 30 days three months after launch, Art of Pilates reached its results in five months, and The Colonel’s Club grew from 295 to 835 keywords between April and August. SEO timelines depend on your market and where your site starts, and we give you an honest estimate on the first call.
Will my business get the same results?
Nobody can promise that honestly. Your competition, your service area, where your website starts, and your budget all change the outcome. What we can give you is an honest read on the first call and monthly reporting that shows exactly what is working and what is not.
What does it cost to work with Design ME?
SEO packages start at $750 per month, and there are no long-term contracts. For Google Ads management or a website rebuild, we quote after a first conversation about your goals and your market, so you only pay for what your business needs.
