Jan Pro- Problem

The Problem

When Youtech inherited the JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting account, the paid search program was over-reliant on branded traffic to prop up surface-level performance metrics. Branded clicks were masking inefficiencies in non-brand campaigns, the campaigns that actually drive net-new franchise leads. Meanwhile, the website’s organic presence hadn’t been optimized to match how today’s searchers and AI-driven search features evaluate content, leaving significant ranking and conversion potential on the table.

Heavy branded traffic mix (30%) inflating overall CTR and CPA metrics, obscuring true non-brand performance
Non-brand campaigns underperforming with a $121.55 CPA and only 185 conversions in the pre-takeover period
Weak organic visibility with low keyword rankings, poor content relevance, and missed opportunity for AI-featured results
No infrastructure for sustainable SEO growth: thin content, weak internal linking, and limited E-E-A-T signals

The Goal

Youtech’s mandate was clear: cut through the noise of branded metrics and build genuine non-brand performance, generating more high-intent franchise leads at a lower cost. Simultaneously, the organic strategy needed to establish JAN-PRO Cleaning & Disinfecting as an authoritative presence in search, with content infrastructure capable of capturing both traditional and AI-driven search traffic.

Reduce reliance on branded traffic and prove non-brand campaign efficiency
Increase non-brand conversions while driving CPA down meaningfully
Build a scalable SEO foundation to grow organic sessions and lead volume year-over-year
Improve content quality and E-E-A-T signals to compete for AI-featured and top-of-page positions
Jan Pro - Goal

The Strategy

Youtech took a dual-track approach, restructuring paid campaigns to improve non-brand targeting and bid efficiency while overhauling organic content and technical infrastructure to drive compounding SEO returns.

Wallaby windows - Problem

The Problem

Wallaby Windows in Nashville entered a competitive market needing immediate lead generation, but didn’t have historical data from previous social media or search advertising efforts to guide decisions. Their early PPC campaigns also lacked a clear separation between general services and window replacement, making it harder to capture customers actively looking to replace their windows.

No prior social media advertising data for performance comparisons
Search campaigns were not structured around specific, high-intent services
Limited early data made it difficult to identify what was driving real leads

The Goal

Once Wallaby Windows partnered with Youtech, we were able to build a clear, scalable advertising strategy. The goal was to consistently bring in qualified leads while improving efficiency as performance data grows.

Drive more customer inquiries through social media and search ads
Lower the cost of leads for high-intent services like window replacement
Increase brand visibility to support long-term growth

The Bottom Line

Empower Brands came to Youtech with two distinct challenges across two distinct brands. For JAN-PRO, it was about uncovering real performance hiding beneath a misleading account structure while building an organic foundation to match. For Wallaby Windows, it was about creating something from nothing across both search and social, and improving it fast. Different problems, same approach: honest assessment, deliberate strategy, and execution that compounds over time. And that is exactly what Empower Brands gets with Youtech.
