Packing Bees provides professional moving services across major U.S. cities. They had strong brand recognition locally but zero national digital presence. We built and executed a comprehensive multi-market campaign expanding them into 12 new cities simultaneously. Laser-focused targeting, city-specific landing pages, and aggressive bid strategies put Packing Bees on the map in every major metro. The result: explosive growth, optimized costs, and market leadership. $38 CPL. 4.8x ROAS. +12 cities in 6 months.

Local Heroes.
National Opportunity.

Packing Bees had established itself in a handful of major markets with strong word-of-mouth and repeat customer base. But they weren't capturing the massive available market in other major U.S. cities. No organized digital strategy, no coordinated multi-market expansion plan. Competitors were taking market share in untapped territories.

Status: Limited

The Problems

  • Only 3 established markets; zero presence in 12 target expansion cities
  • No coordinated national ads strategy — budget scattered and inefficient
  • Website generic, not optimized for multi-city targeting or local search
  • Competitors already established with strong local positioning in target cities
  • No lead management system across multiple markets causing missed opportunities
  • Lacked understanding of market-specific pricing and demand variations
Status: Expanded

The Solution

  • Built 12 separate geo-targeted ad campaigns, one per expansion city, with city-specific keywords and bid strategies
  • Created dedicated landing pages for each city highlighting local team, service areas, and city-specific testimonials
  • Implemented market research analyzing competitor pricing, demand seasonality, and local preferences in each target city
  • Developed centralized lead management system tracking leads by city with same-day local callbacks
  • Built competitive intelligence monitoring showing vs. competitor keyword rankings and positioning
  • Implemented aggressive bid strategies in Phase 1 to capture market share quickly, then optimized for efficiency in Phase 2
