A waste disposal company based in the Mid-Atlantic region began operations in 2019 with a mission to offer better customer service and a cleaner community—something that had been lacking from larger national providers who routinely left trash on the streets after weekly pickups. By early 2021, the company partnered with SL Development to improve its digital presence, aiming to generate more leads and position itself as a dependable local alternative.
What We Did
SL Development launched a comprehensive digital strategy that included a full SEO audit, a newly designed website, and paid search campaigns targeting residential, commercial, and roll-off dumpster customers. Google Ads went live mid-2021 and immediately began capturing high-quality traffic and conversions. Paid social campaigns were added in 2022 to further expand reach and lead generation.
The Results
By the end of 2021, Google paid search had already delivered 343 leads, with 2,600 clicks, nearly 24,000 impressions, an 11% CTR, a 13.1% conversion rate, and a cost per lead of $35.79. In 2022, performance scaled even further—generating over 1,300 leads, 8,400+ clicks, and 520,000+ impressions, with a 15.2% conversion rate at a $42.24 cost per lead.
On the paid social front, the company captured 257 leads in 2022 at a $48 cost per lead, reaching over 162,829 users and driving more than 1.2 million impressions. By 2023, their paid social leads nearly doubled to 507, while also improving cost efficiency with a $44.64 cost per lead.
The Impact
With the help of SL Development, the company has grown into a market leader in the Mid-Atlantic waste industry. Their expanded service offerings now include junk removal, full property cleanouts, and demolition services—backed by a digital foundation that continues to drive qualified leads and long-term growth.
