The Challenge

Expert service. No digital presence to show for it.

Yolande Dagenais found Farmers Marketing through Google — searching for help with a digital emergency. DAG Moving had been running for years with an owner-supervised approach and a strong reputation. But their online foundation had collapsed entirely.
  • Expired domain — website taken offline
  • Google Business Profile suspended
  • 50+ reviews at risk of permanent loss

  • Initial GBP reinstatement appeal denied

  • Existing website outdated, not built for leads

  • No CRM or lead tracking in place

Our Approach

A phased build, designed to last

Rather than waiting until every piece was perfect, we moved in deliberate phases — restoring their presence immediately while building the deeper infrastructure for long-term lead generation.

Phase 1 — Emergency Recovery

We resolved the expired domain, restored their website, and immediately began fighting for GBP reinstatement — persisting even after an initial denial.

We succeeded, recovering all 50+ reviews and restoring full access. That review history is a critical trust signal in the local moving market.

Phase 2 — New Website Build

Starting from a full SEO audit and competitive analysis, we built a new WordPress website focused on lead generation — with residential and commercial service pages, specialty moving pages, Winnipeg location pages, a moving guide, FAQ, blog content, and a custom GHL-integrated lead capture form.

We also organized a professional photoshoot to give the site real imagery of the DAG Moving team at work.

Phase 3 — Local SEO, Ads & CRM

With the foundation in place, we layered in the full lead generation and capture system:

  • Local SEO strategy targeting high-intent Winnipeg search terms
  • Google Ads campaign setup and management
  • Local Service Ads (LSA) — including background checks, insurance docs, and service area setup
  • CRM via GoHighLevel: sales pipeline, contact tagging, call tracking, automated review requests
  • A2P messaging, missed call text-back, and AI auto-responses for Google reviews
  • Citation building including NextDoor and Apple Maps
The Results

Built from nothing. Built to grow.

Rather than waiting until every piece was perfect, we moved in deliberate phases — restoring their presence immediately while building the deeper infrastructure for long-term lead generation.

Fleet Expanding

Volume growth strong enough to add a second truck and a new key driver.

“Farmers Marketing has been a game changer for our company! Top notch communication and professionalism. From the moment I first spoke with Lionel, I knew that we were in good hands. Thank you for helping us bring our business into the 21st century!”

— Yolande Dagenais, DAG Moving

Business Impact

From digital emergency to steady, predictable growth

The turnaround for DAG Moving is exactly what the Market Foundation program is designed to deliver.

A business that was effectively invisible online — no website, no Google listing — is now running a full digital marketing engine with a lead-generating website, active Google Ads, a CRM tracking every opportunity, and a growing library of 5-star reviews.

The volume of inbound work has grown to the point where DAG Moving is now positioned to add a second truck to their fleet, and has recently hired a key driver to support that growth. For a family-owned operation, adding capacity is a major milestone — and a direct reflection of the leads and conversions their new digital foundation is generating.

As Farmers Marketing noted in response to Yolande’s review: the best is still to come.
