Where they started

A technical audit, then the blog

Work began in May 2022 with a technical audit and the groundwork for search.

Google Analytics only counts quote requests starting Aug 2022, so the quote figures on this page start there.

We also do monthly site speed work, upkeep, schema markup and quote form work.

Google ads

The Google ads we run

Search brings people looking for ideas. The ads catch people ready to rent this weekend. We have run the company's Google ads since Aug 2022, one campaign for each market.

$1,705,059in quote requests

From people who found the company on organic search, then came back through an ad

Search and ads work as one system. These quotes count once, inside the organic search figure. Aug 2022 to early Nov 2026.

What we changed in 2026

We moved brand searches off the city campaigns, so the city ads pay for new customers. We repaired one market's dynamic ads, which had stopped serving. We put new ads up against ads that had run unchanged for years, and added 4 account-wide callouts. When a new rival began bidding against the company, we moved budgets and targets toward the markets winning quotes.

Counted in Google Analytics. A quote counts here when the shopper's first visit came through a Google ad, so none of these is counted again in the organic search figures.

AI assistants like ChatGPT brought 5,175 visits to the site since Feb 2023 (72 in Jan 2025 and 351 in Sep 2026 alone), sending 120 quote requests.

Each figure on the cards above is an estimate from an AI visibility tracker. It asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and Copilot the same 15 event rental questions, May 1 to Nov 4, 2026, and Claude since Oct 22, 2026. It is not a count from OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or Anthropic. 5 of the questions name the company, so the ranks are partly a brand effect.
