Helped Milestone Equipment Holdings Drive Qualified Leads—Fast
See how a focused SEO strategy turned a few optimized pages into high-value sales opportunities.
The Challenge
Milestone Equipment Holdings needed more than increased website traffic—they needed marketing dollars to produce measurable business results. With a priority to “move trailers,” the challenge was to attract more high-value prospects searching for trailer leasing solutions while filtering out low-quality inquiries that were unlikely to become customers.
ROI-Focused Strategy
Autumn Consulting built a focused SEO strategy around Milestone’s sales goals:
-
Identified high-intent national and local search terms -
Optimized key website pages -
Refined titles, meta descriptions, and headings -
Added geo-targeted content for markets including Chicago, Los Angeles, and Memphis
This strategy also incorporated ongoing collaboration with Milestone’s sales team to evaluate lead quality, adjust targeting, and create content based on real customer needs and conversations.
Results
The early results were immediate and measurable. Within 90 days, Milestone generated 86 qualified leads and $2.7 million in potential revenue attributed to organic search—including a single opportunity valued at more than $1.3 million.
Most importantly, the digital marketing investment generated a 150X ROI, meaning the marketing dollars spent produced significant, measurable business opportunities. And these results came entirely from organic search, with no paid advertising required.
