Case studies

This page collects the eight case studies we have written at Good At Marketing, a Boynton Beach, Florida agency. Two of them name the client because this site already does: XO and MBMI Metal Buildings. The other six describe the client by industry and place.

By Donnie Strompf. Updated October 2026.

Results are published with the client’s permission or described without the name. Each GA4 figure carries its date range and each saved AI answer carries its date, and XO’s figures come from the record of its engagement. The one quotation, about MBMI, is Donnie’s own account. Where a number is flat or down, the page says so. The published ranges are on the pricing page. These are results for those businesses in those periods, and they are not forecasts for yours.

XO and national SEO for private aviation

Private aviation brand XO is the national SEO example. The term that matters most for it, “private jet”, climbed from the second page of results into the top 3 inside a few months, dropped to position 7 in a COVID pause, and took position 1 in the second stretch of work, which has weekly reports covering July 2021 through March 2023. By early 2023, pages for routes and cities were converting best, and geo and route conversions were up 44%.

MBMI Metal Buildings and a national number one

Donnie Strompf: “MBMI was my first national number one, for ‘Steel Buildings’ and ‘Metal Buildings’, and it took 12 to 16 months.” ChatGPT and Perplexity both named MBMI first for buying a pre-engineered metal building in Florida on October 15, 2026. In GA4, MBMI’s site recorded 209 sessions and 12 key events from AI engines in the six months to October 14, 2026, the most AI-engine sessions of any client site we track. The case study also records a drop in organic search sessions between the two most recent 12-month ranges.

Orange County gate and fence company

An Orange County, CA gate and fence company we work with installs automated driveway gates and fencing. In November 2025 it recorded 145 organic search sessions, and in August 2026 it recorded 361, equal to the best full month in the 12 months to October 14, 2026. There is no year-over-year line, because the earlier 12 months hold too little data. On October 15, 2026, ChatGPT named it first for an automated driveway gate installer in Costa Mesa, and AI engines were close to 1% of its traffic in the six months to October 14, 2026.

The community’s site recorded 56 sessions from AI engines in the six months to October 14, 2026. Organic search went the other way, with roughly a third fewer sessions over the 12 months to October 14, 2026 than over the prior 12 months, while all-channel sessions grew, mostly from direct traffic.
