Building a Regional SEO Footprint for a PE-Backed Waste System Firm

Case Study

The Situation

Wind River Environmental maintains and services a broad array of non-hazardous liquid waste systems for residential, business, and municipal customers across 16 states.

While Wind River had captured significant market share in communities up and down the eastern seaboard, a lack of name recognition in several key markets highlighted a need to find new ways to increase penetration in these key geographic areas.

The Solution
