Your company can be the best in the world at what it does. But if your customers can’t find you on Google, you’re just a well-kept secret.

This was the reality for TileUp Home Improvement and Quality Cleaning, a company delivering impeccable service on the sunny and hyper-competitive Florida coast. They had the expertise, the quality, and the dedication, but in the digital arena, they were virtually invisible. In a market where a search for “cleaning services near me” is a reflex, not being found is the same as not existing.

The challenge was monumental: how do you take a local service company and transform it into the digital authority of its region, making it stand out in tourist-heavy cities like Panama City Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, and Niceville?

The answer wasn’t to “post more” or “boost an ad.” The answer was to build, from the ground up, an ecosystem of visibility. And that is exactly the flight plan Agência Carcará designed and executed.

Key Takeaways: Our Florida Flight Plan

• The Diagnosis: The problem wasn’t the quality of service, but the complete lack of a digital foundation, rendering the company invisible to potential customers.
• The Strategic Foundation: We built a modern, high-speed WordPress website to serve as the base of operations, engineered to be the bedrock of the entire search strategy.
• Conquering the Territory (GEO): An aggressive local optimization strategy was deployed to dominate the map in target cities, making TileUp the obvious answer for geographical searches.
• Turning Services into Solutions (AEO): We created content that doesn’t just list services but directly answers the pains and needs of each customer profile, from local residents to Airbnb hosts.
• Building a Long-Term Asset (E-E-A-T): Every action was designed to build a long-term digital asset, solidifying TileUp’s Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness in the eyes of both customers and algorithms.

The Diagnosis: An Elite Service, A Ghost-like Digital Presence

When we began our partnership, TileUp was a diamond in the rough. The service quality was undeniable, but its online presence was fragmented and lacked strategy. It was missing a central hub, its own “plot of land” on the internet to centralize communication, attract qualified traffic, and convert clicks into cleaning contracts. The first move wasn’t to attack, but to build the base of operations.

The Foundation: A WordPress Site as the Launching Pad

Any world-class search strategy needs solid ground to be built upon. Therefore, our first mission was to develop a website on WordPress. The choice wasn’t aesthetic; it was strategic. We needed a platform that was fast, secure, flexible, and, above all, loved by Google’s algorithms—the perfect foundation for our SEO, AEO, and GEO flight plan.

The Flight Plan: An Integrated Search Strategy for the Florida Coast

With the foundation in place, we took off with our 4-front methodology, adapted to the reality of the Florida market.

1. Conquering the Territory (GEO)

For a service company, the battle is won street by street. Our GEO (Local Optimization) strategy was designed to put TileUp on the map—literally.

• We optimized their Google Business Profile for each target city: Panama City Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, and Niceville.
• We created service pages specific to each location, using the language and landmarks that the local customer recognizes.
• We implemented a strategy to encourage customer reviews, building the social proof that Google and new clients value so highly.

2. Turning Services into Solutions (AEO)

A common mistake is simply listing what you do. The correct approach is to show how what you do solves someone’s problem. This is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization). We transformed TileUp’s services page into a solutions hub:

• Residential Cleaning: The answer to a chaotic routine. We sell not just a clean house, but the time and peace of mind the client gets back.
• Post-Construction Cleaning: The solution to post-renovation chaos. We turn the stress of a dusty construction site into the joy of a new, pristine space, ready to be enjoyed.
• Airbnb Cleaning: The Superhost’s secret weapon. We guarantee that 5-star review for “cleanliness,” with speed and reliability between one guest and the next.
• Deep Cleaning: The “hard reset” every home needs. A detailed cleaning that goes where the weekly clean doesn’t, revitalizing the entire environment.
• Move-In/Out Cleaning: Ensuring a seamless transition, whether it’s handing over the old property in perfect condition or starting a new life in a purified space.
• Additional Cleaning (Carpet/Sofa): Specialized solutions to bring carpets and sofas back to life, removing stains and odors.
• Tile and Flooring Services: The technical expertise to care for and restore the beauty of floors, one of the biggest investments in a home.

3. Building a Digital Reputation (LLM & E-E-A-T)

Our vision is long-term. Every piece of content, every review collected, and every page optimized doesn’t just serve for today. It serves to teach the Large Language Models (LLMs) that, on the Florida coast, TileUp is the authority on quality cleaning. We are building the reputation that will make AI naturally recommend TileUp in its future conversational answers.

FAQs

1. Does Carcará’s methodology work for markets outside of Brazil?
This case study is living proof. The principles of digital search are universal. What changes is the local culture and behavior. Our expertise lies in uniting a world-class strategy with hyper-localized execution, whether in Brasília or Santa Rosa Beach.

2. My business is local. Why do I need such a complex strategy?
Because your local competition is already using (or trying to use) these tools. An integrated SEO and GEO strategy is no longer a luxury; it’s what separates the business that survives from the one that dominates its neighborhood.

3. How long does it take to see results on a project like this?
Building authority is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. The first signs of traction (improvement in local rankings, initial leads) appear after about 9 months. The consolidation of market dominance is a 12 to 24-month project. It’s an investment in building a permanent asset.

Conclusion: From Brasília to Florida, the Blueprint is Universal

The TileUp case in Florida is more than a success story. It’s the materialization of our philosophy: there are no shortcuts. There is strategy, a solid foundation, and consistent execution.

Whatever your market, whatever your size, the battle for your customer’s attention is being fought online. The question isn’t “if” you need an ecosystem of visibility, but “when” you will start building yours.
