The Challenge
Columbia Gorge Forestry had just started their business and needed to establish credibility quickly in a competitive market. As a new company, they required a professional online presence to compete with established forestry service providers and generate their first customer leads.
Starting From Zero
As a brand new business, Columbia Gorge Forestry had no online presence, no established reputation, and no website - making it challenging to compete with established forestry services in the region.
Competitive Local Market
The forestry service industry in the Columbia Gorge area is competitive, with several established companies already having strong online visibility for key search terms.
Lead Generation Needs
They needed a website that would not just showcase their services but actively convert visitors into leads and customers through effective calls-to-action.
Simple But Effective Content
The client wanted a straightforward website without unnecessary complexity, but still needed comprehensive content that would rank well in search results.
Local SEO Requirements
Success would be measured by achieving top rankings for local forestry-related keywords, requiring a targeted local SEO strategy focused on their specific service area.
Our Solution
We developed a focused solution to address Columbia Gorge Forestry's specific needs:
High-Converting Single Page Design
We designed a streamlined, single-page website that guides visitors through a logical flow from introduction to services to contact form, maximizing engagement and conversion opportunities without unnecessary complexity.
Compelling Visual Identity
We incorporated natural elements, forestry imagery, and a professional color palette that reflects the outdoor nature of their business while maintaining a clean, trustworthy appearance that appeals to property owners.
Strategic Content Development
We crafted carefully researched content that highlights their expertise, services, and unique benefits while naturally incorporating high-value keywords and local references that improve search rankings.
Localized SEO Implementation
Beyond standard SEO practices, we implemented comprehensive local SEO strategies including region-specific content, local business schema markup, and geographic keyword targeting to dominate local search results.
Lead-Focused User Experience
Every element of the website was designed with lead generation in mind, from strategically placed contact forms and prominent phone numbers to compelling service descriptions and trust-building elements that encourage visitors to reach out.
Performance Optimization
We built the site with performance as a priority, implementing technical optimizations that ensure fast loading times on all devices and connection speeds, which both improves user experience and supports better search rankings.

I couldn't be happier with the website that Timothy Visser from Visser Analytics created for my business, CG Forestry. Timothy took the time to really understand my business and its unique needs, diving deep into what makes CG Forestry stand out. He thoughtfully designed a website that not only fits my immediate requirements but also aligns with my vision for the company's future growth. Throughout the process, Timothy was professional, attentive, and responsive, ensuring that the final product was both visually appealing and functionally robust. His dedication to building a site tailored to my business goals made all the difference. I highly recommend Timothy and Visser Analytics to anyone looking to build a professional, custom website!
