Cortland

Challenge
Create a robust, impactful SEO program for 120+ individual Cortland communities across the US.
Search Engine Optimization
With 120+ properties on the Cortland.com website, Tractorbeam was tasked with developing and implementing a rolling, ongoing SEO program aimed at individualizing each community to perform well for local search.
Tractorbeam began by creating a gantt chart of monthly optimizations, which not only allowed for recommendations to be created, but implementations to be completed by a lean team.
We tiered groups of properties each month, so that recommendations did not weigh down the client-team and allowed for quicker implementations.
SEO Results
Traffic Increase
By focusing on content optimizations, expanding content opportunities, implementing schema data, SERP competitor analysis, and technical optimizations, Cortland has experienced a dramatic rise in organic website traffic.

*Traffic increase results based on launch – August 2020
Lead Increase
We created unified analytics goal tracking across all properties to determine performance. We discovered that properties enrolled in the SEO program had an average of 12% more last click leads than properties outside of the program.
In addition, cost per lead (leads/SEO investment) for properties maintained at under $15/lead, the lowest of all marketing endeavors.
