The Challenge

Cody Pools operates in a highly competitive swimming-pool construction market where homeowners often spend significant time researching designs, pricing, builders and available options before making a decision.
The opportunity was to create a digital marketing strategy capable of reaching homeowners earlier in the buying journey while also capturing high-intent prospects who were actively researching pool construction.
Simply generating website traffic was not enough. Pool construction represents a significant purchase, meaning campaigns needed to reach qualified homeowners and guide them toward requesting a consultation or discussing a project.
Sunstone Digital Tech focused on building a digital acquisition strategy centered around audience targeting, campaign optimization, conversion and lead quality
