Granite Tech, a Montana managed IT and business phone provider, came to us with a dated website, about 250 visits a month, and no ranked keywords. We rebuilt the site and the SEO underneath it. By May 2026 it ranked for 616 keywords, and every money keyword we track in Bozeman and Missoula sat in first place on Google.

Granite Technology Solutions has been Montana's full-service technology partner since 2003: managed IT, business phone systems, cybersecurity, and structured cabling.
Offline, Granite is an established name. It runs four offices, serves more than 1,200 businesses, and has won the MSP501 award five times. Online, very little of that showed. The site drew about 200 to 300 visits a month, rank tracking from June through December 2025 shows zero ranked keywords, and the design looked its age.
A company in Bozeman searching for a new phone system or an IT provider had no real way to find Granite, and not much reason to call if it did. That is an expensive gap for a business whose contracts are measured in thousands of dollars a month.
Granite asked for two things: a complete website rebuild and an SEO strategy. We ran them as one project. A new design without the page structure, schema, and internal links underneath it looks better and still does not get found. An SEO plan bolted onto an old site has nothing to rank.
Three phases of work, then monthly measurement. Each phase built on the one before it, so the rankings had real pages to land on.
A modern, conversion-focused site that reflects who Granite actually is. Every service, industry, and office got its own page, so each search a buyer runs has a page built to answer it.
Messaging framework, visual identity, content voice, and digital presence pulled into one brand. A cabling page, a phone system page, and the homepage now read as the same company.
A content silo for every service and location, structured data across the site, and every title tag and meta description rewritten. Internal links run services to industries to locations. The Google Business Profile got full service mapping.
Traffic from Granite's GA4 account, rankings from Ahrefs and DataForSEO, rolled up in Zoesi, the reporting dashboard we built for our clients. The numbers below are read from those sources.
Monthly web visitors went from about 250 to 3,502, more than ten times the starting point. That figure counts every channel. Organic search brought in 1,442 of those visits, and we show both so you can see what SEO did on its own.
Tap a month to read it. Zero ranked keywords through December 2025, then 616 by May 2026.
Values marked ~ are approximate, read from the rank tracking chart.
616 keywords ranked, up 361 (+141.6%) from April in a single month.
We track 14 money keywords for Granite across Bozeman and Missoula, and all 14 rank #1 on Google. They are not branded searches. They are what Montana businesses type when they need an IT, phone, or voice provider. Twelve are listed here.

Johnny and his team at Design ME are the definition of above and beyond. Not only are they 'proactive' but these guys are 'predictive'. They're thinking of things our business needs before we even think of them, making sure we're ahead of where we want to be. They are experienced, professional, responsive, and a trusted advisor. Each time they suggest and execute a strategy, I see results, fast. We engaged with them to improve our SEO and digital footprint, but gained so much more than that. They make sure Granite looks, sounds, reads, and even smells the same as a brand across the board. I cannot recommend them enough.
BaileyOur website looks so FREAKING good. Thank you for all you've done so far!!
Johnny (Design ME)So glad you like it!
BaileyI'm floored! I keep finding more and more you did. I'm meeting with our services manager next week about turning the web chat back on! We also had four leads come in over the past few days. I feel you guys are magic!
Johnny (Design ME)Well now we are not handcuffed anymore. We got you guys all set up with a solid foundation.
Granite is in Montana, but the pattern fits a Long Island IT firm, insurance agency, or contractor just as well: a small number of high-value searches, and a website that has to win them.
Granite's rankings came after the rebuild, not before it. The silos, schema, and internal links were designed into the new website design from the start instead of patched on later.
The #1 rankings are for exact service and city searches such as "voip phone systems bozeman" and "ucaas missoula". Each service and each office city has a page written for it. That is the core of how we approach SEO for any service business.
Traffic is the easy number to quote. The number Granite's team noticed first was four leads within days of the new site going live. For a business that sells monthly contracts, a handful of the right leads matters more than thousands of visits.
