~22 Monthly Enquiries From Garage Door Marketing
Ascent Garage Doors installs, replaces and repairs garage doors around Geelong and the Surf Coast. I've done the web design, SEO and Google Ads for Alec Wilkinson and Monique Dill since May 2025.
The results
The enquiries come from the website's form records, with test entries, the business's own entries and spam taken out. The 91 comes from Google Analytics, with Business Profile clicks. Rankings move from day to day. This was checked on the 28th of October 2026.

Where it started
Alec Wilkinson measures and quotes every job himself. In May 2025 he wanted a website that brought in more customers, so I built one on WordPress, live in June 2025, with a quote form that records the job and property type.
What I did
- I built the website, then rebuilt it with Kadence from May to July 2026, with new and updated guides that answer what people ask before they buy, like what a new garage door costs in Geelong.
- I made Alec Wilkinson the author of the guides. His About page lists his guides, so Google and customers can see who's behind the advice.
- I added location pages for Torquay and Colac in September 2026, so people in those towns have a page written for them.
- I rebuilt the Google Business Profile with 20 service areas, all 19 services and new photos. In October 2026 it had a new post every week.
- I paused Google Ads while Alec was flat out at the end of February 2026, then rebuilt the account in September 2026 with separate ads for sectional, tilt, custom and replacement doors, each one leading to its own page.
- I had the business listed on online directories through BrightLocal in October 2026, the ones that customers and search engines use.
- I set up tracking with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics and Enhanced Conversions, and built the forms in Fluent Forms.
- I host the site on Rocket.net, with Perfmatters for speed and Slim SEO for the page titles and descriptions.
