About the Client

Summit Ridge Realty is a full-service residential brokerage specializing in Denver's most competitive neighborhoods — Cherry Creek, Washington Park, and Hilltop. Despite being one of Denver's most productive brokerages, their digital presence didn't come close to reflecting their actual market position.

01 / The Challenge

Where they were
before us.

Summit Ridge's website was a generic broker template shared by hundreds of agencies nationally. No neighborhood-specific landing pages, no differentiated positioning, minimal organic search presence, and a lead capture form that routed to a shared inbox no one actively managed. The site received decent traffic from their brand name but converted almost none of it. Competitors with worse reputations were ranking above them for the searches that actually mattered.

02 / Our Approach

What we
actually did.

1

Custom brand identity work to establish Summit Ridge's visual positioning in Denver's premium residential market — sophisticated but approachable, reflecting the Cherry Creek and Washington Park buyer

2

Neighborhood-specific landing pages for each key market area (Cherry Creek, Washington Park, Hilltop, Stapleton) — each targeting distinct high-intent search terms and featuring market data updated quarterly

3

Individual agent profile pages with unique lead capture flows that route directly to the listing agent via HubSpot CRM integration

4

Local SEO architecture targeting 'Denver real estate agent,' 'homes for sale Cherry Creek,' and 14 other high-intent terms identified through competitive gap analysis

5

Monthly maintenance plan covering security, performance, and the content updates the team runs during active listing seasons

03 / The Solution

What we
delivered.

Full custom design and build with a neighborhood SEO architecture at its core. Every page served a dual purpose: position Summit Ridge as the neighborhood authority and capture the buyer or seller at peak intent. HubSpot CRM integration ensured no submitted lead ever went to an unmonitored inbox again.
