Overview
Our client, a leading multi-location fire protection provider serving commercial and industrial clients across the Southeastern U.S., offers comprehensive life safety solutions from alarms and sprinklers to extinguishers and monitoring.
While they were an established name in the fire protection industry, their marketing efforts hadn’t kept pace with the changing digital landscape. They were looking for more than a vendor – they wanted a strategic partner who could elevate their brand, generate consistent B2B leads, and scale with them for the long haul.
The Challenge
When they first partnered with our team in 2019, their marketing strategy was rooted in outdated, traditional methods. Their online presence lacked visibility, their content was sporadic, and their brand storytelling wasn’t reflecting their deep industry expertise.
They needed:
- A stronger digital footprint in a crowded B2B marketplace
- A reliable pipeline of high-quality, sales-ready leads
- Consistent, expert-level content that positioned them as a thought leader in fire and life safety
The Strategy
We deployed a comprehensive, multi-channel marketing program built for long-term growth. Rather than chasing short-term wins, we focused on building a sustainable inbound engine.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Overhauled and optimized core service and location pages to rank for high-intent, commercial keywords
- Consistently improved rankings, driving visibility among contractors, property managers, and facility leaders
- Produced over 250 blog posts answering critical industry questions and showcasing compliance expertise

- Built a consistent presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube
- Shared project stories, safety tips, and behind-the-scenes culture content to humanize the brand and engage buyers
- Designed and deployed twice-monthly newsletters to promote services and seasonal fire safety education
- Created new upsell and cross-sell opportunities among current and dormant clients
- Delivered professional, consistent visuals to enhance campaign performance and align with modern design standards
