- Proof, Not Promises
Our West Michigan track record:
Lakeshore Air Testing.
- Home Services: Air Quality Testing
Lakeshore Air Testing
Lakeshore Air Testing launched as a brand-new startup with no website traffic, no rankings, and zero inbound leads. They needed to build trust and visibility from scratch in a niche, competitive service category, city by city.

The Challenge
A brand-new company with no domain authority, no reviews, and no local search presence, entering a niche West Michigan market where trust is everything and customers rarely search beyond the first few map results.
The Approach
We built a location-page strategy covering 13 West Michigan service cities, layered technical SEO and Google Business Profile optimization on top, and paired it with a content and review-generation system to build trust fast.
The Result
Two years in, Lakeshore is no longer a startup. It’s a recognized, family-owned West Michigan business generating 5-6 qualified leads every single day from organic search alone.
- How It Started
A four-month trial that turned into two years
Mike Tovar, Lakeshore’s owner, first found Designs365 on Facebook. A phone call later, he proposed a straightforward test instead of a long-term commitment: four months to prove we were the right partner. What he saw in that window, day-by-day involvement, transparent reporting, and a team that treated Lakeshore’s growth like our own, meant that conversation never came up again. Two years later, Lakeshore has grown into a thriving, recognized West Michigan business, now run day-to-day by Mike’s son and daughter, with Designs365 still their SEO partner.
