Website CRO Boosts Franchise Lead Conversion Rates by 5X

A complete Ogilvy‑style rewrite and UX overhaul transformed Spaulding Decon’s national site into a lead‑gen machine, multiplying quote requests fivefold while slashing cost‑per‑lead.

Project Overview

Spaulding Decon cleans the scenes no one wants to talk about—crime, trauma, biohazards. Their old site buried the value under walls of text and grainy photos, converting just 1 percent of visitors. We applied direct‑response principles—powerful headlines, social proof, and friction‑free forms—to turn crisis‑stricken browsers into high‑intent callers within minutes.

Project Goals

  • Lift conversions: Hit a 5 percent quote‑request rate within 90 days.

  • Speed matters: Keep load times under 2 seconds on mobile for panicked users.

  • Trust at first glance: Add badges, media mentions, and franchise owner testimonials to overcome fear and stigma.

Challenges & Solutions

  • Sensitive subject matter.
    Solution: Reframed copy from “hazard cleanup” to “restoring peace of mind,” paired with discreet imagery.

  • High‑stakes urgency.
    Solution: Sticky “Call 24/7” bar, one‑click tap targets, and ZIP‑code auto‑detect to route leads to the nearest franchise in under 30 seconds.

  • Fragmented pages for 40+ services.
    Solution: Heat‑map audits trimmed 60 percent of low‑value content; rebuilt navigation around three clear pathways—Emergency, Residential, Commercial.

Outcome & Impact

  • Conversion surge: 1 % → 5.2 % in 60 days, adding 1 400 incremental monthly leads.

  • Cost‑per‑lead: Down 64 percent across Google Ads and organic combined.

  • Revenue ripple: Average franchise booked an extra $92 000 per quarter from web leads alone.

  • Brand authority: Featured by HubSpot as a top CRO case study in service verticals.
