Overview
For over 75 years, Miller’s Textile Services, a family-owned business in Wapakoneta, Ohio, has provided customized uniform and facility service solutions to industries like healthcare, manufacturing, hospitality and restaurants. Known for reliability, transparency and innovative technology like RFID tracking, they have prioritized strong partnerships and exceptional client service.
As they aimed to expand into new markets, open additional service depots and grow their service area, Miller’s recognized the need for marketing assistance and a documented marketing strategy. That’s when they turned to Marketing Essentials for support.
We began with in-depth research and analysis to craft a tailored plan designed to help them achieve their growth goals.
Our Strategic Approach
Website Optimization
Through our research, it became clear that Miller’s website — their online foundation — was missing key elements that could drive business growth. Critical information like service details, the industries they served and clear calls to action were underdeveloped, making it difficult for potential customers to engage.
We gave their website a full refresh:
- Rebuilt and optimized key pages for clarity and user-friendliness.
- Added content highlighting Miller’s unique differentiators, such as their sustainability initiatives (recycling textiles and reclaiming water) and commitment to service excellence.
- Developed new content around transparency and accountability, including an animated video showcasing their RFID tag technology and how it improves uniform management.
Data Monitoring and Reporting
To ensure long-term success, we helped Miller’s set clear marketing goals tied to their key performance metrics and established a coaching process to keep the team aligned. Since this was Miller’s first major push into marketing, connecting every effort to measurable results was critical.
As part of this process, we implemented Looker Studio for advanced data monitoring. This enabled Miller’s to track performance in real time, adjust strategies as needed and stay focused on what mattered most — achieving their goals.
Customized SEO Strategy
To boost the company’s visibility in their new service areas, we developed and executed a customized SEO strategy that included:
- Conducting keyword research and creating a keyword map with unique, targeted keywords.
- Optimizing the website for both technical and on-page SEO to ensure keywords are strategically and effectively integrated.
- Enhancing their Google Business Profile to rank for key service terms and appear prominently in search results.
- Implementing local SEO tactics to make it easy for customers in their service areas to find them online.
SEO Results:
Within 90 days, Miller’s saw a 60% increase in organic traffic compared to the previous period. Miller’s also achieved significant gains in local search rankings:
- In February 2024, their Google Business Profile ranking showed weak visibility; the yellow and red dots on the map show where they were outranked by competitors.
- By November 2024, the map turned green, demonstrating strong local rankings and an increased presence in search results.
