Laying the Groundwork for a Concrete Strategy
Quality Blacktopping + Concrete | Cincinnati, Ohio
The challenge.
For more than 60 years, Quality Blacktopping + Concrete has helped businesses throughout Greater Cincinnati maintain and improve the surfaces that keep their properties moving. The company has built a solid reputation for dependable asphalt paving, maintenance, and repair, but its capabilities extend well beyond blacktop.
In 2023, Quality set a goal to build the concrete side of its business and create a more balanced mix of asphalt and concrete projects. Reaching that goal required more than adding concrete to a list of services. Quality needed a marketing strategy that would establish concrete as a visible, credible, and meaningful part of its brand.
The strategy.
Together, Quality and The Marketing Collective developed a focused strategy to:
- Increase awareness of Quality’s commercial concrete capabilities among property owners, facility managers, and other commercial decision-makers
- Generate qualified opportunities for concrete projects
- Reinforce Quality’s reputation as a trusted, full-service partner
- Support growth throughout Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and the Dayton market
We started with messaging that speaks directly to the priorities and challenges of commercial property owners and managers. Rather than focusing on the technical details of concrete installation, the messaging connects Quality’s services to the business outcomes its customers care about, including safety, accessibility, appearance, durability, and long-term property value.
This strategy helped position concrete work as more than a repair or construction expense, making it a component of responsible property management. We paired this approach with messaging that reinforced Quality as a partner that works with clients to minimize risk and disruption while delivering exceptional craftsmanship on time and on budget.
A digital marketing strategy became an important part of reaching the right audience at the right time. Search campaigns connected Quality with commercial prospects actively looking for services that most closely aligned with Quality’s growth goals. Dedicated messaging and landing-page content helped ensure that prospects arriving through an ad immediately understood Quality’s commercial expertise.
The digital strategy was supported by additional marketing efforts, including:
- Commercial concrete email campaigns
- Service-specific website content
- Project case studies with before-and-after examples
- Radio advertising focused specifically on concrete services
- Sales materials designed for property owners and managers
The results.
The marketing strategy is already producing measurable results. Within 18 months:
- Organic search clicks increased 53 percent
- Interactions with Quality’s Google Business Profile rose 40 percent
- Calls directly from the Google Business profile increased 46 percent
- Quality’s average Google search position improved from page three to page one for tracked searches
Quality’s sales team has also gained stronger tools for starting conversations. Instead of simply telling prospective customers that the company offers concrete services, the team can demonstrate its capabilities through relevant examples and connect those services directly to the customer’s property needs.
By combining clear positioning, audience-focused messaging, and targeted digital advertising, Quality is building long-term recognition for its concrete capabilities while strengthening the overall brand. Each campaign, project feature, and customer success story adds another layer of credibility. For small businesses navigating a similar growth goal, this kind of B2B marketing results-driven strategy shows what’s possible with the right partner.
That is the kind of marketing foundation designed to support lasting growth.
