The Challenge

Paul Davis operates one of the largest restoration networks in North America, with more than 300 independently owned and operated locations across the United States and Canada. The company provides restoration services covering water, fire, mold, storm and other property damage, serving both residential and commercial customers. (Paul Davis Restoration)
For a restoration organization of this scale, digital marketing presents a unique challenge. Customers often begin searching immediately after a disaster, meaning speed, visibility and conversion are critical. At the same time, the organization operates through a large network of local markets. Digital marketing therefore needs to operate at two levels simultaneously: maintaining national brand strength while helping individual markets capture high-intent local demand. The opportunity was to build a digital acquisition strategy capable of turning urgent search demand into qualified restoration opportunities across a large geographic footprint.

Massive Geographic Footprint

With more than 300 locations across North America, digital marketing needed to accommodate a highly distributed local-market structure.

Emergency-Driven Search Behavior

Water, fire and storm restoration customers often search immediately after an incident, making speed-to-contact and search visibility extremely important.

Multiple Customer Segments

The organization serves homeowners, businesses, property managers, insurance-related customers and other commercial stakeholders.

Lead Quality

Generating large quantities of inquiries was not enough. The objective was to generate qualified opportunities that local restoration teams could actually service.

The Objective

The objective was to strengthen Paul Davis’ digital customer-acquisition ecosystem while creating a scalable approach to lead generation across a large network of local markets.

The goal was to:

Primary Goal

Create a national digital acquisition system capable of converting high-intent restoration demand into qualified opportunities across hundreds of local markets.

The Strategy

Sunstone Digital Tech approached the engagement as a multi-location acquisition challenge rather than a conventional digital advertising campaign.
The strategy connected national-level positioning with local-market acquisition, allowing campaigns to target customers based on service need, geography and purchase intent.
Because restoration customers frequently search during urgent situations, the strategy placed particular emphasis on high-intent traffic, rapid conversion pathways and clear service messaging.

01 — MULTI-LOCATION DIGITAL ACQUISITION

The acquisition strategy was structured around Paul Davis’ extensive local-market footprint.

Objective: Create a scalable framework capable of generating demand across hundreds of local service markets.

02 — HIGH-INTENT SERVICE TARGETING

Campaigns were structured around the restoration services customers most urgently search for.

Objective: Capture prospects actively searching for immediate restoration assistance.

03 — AUDIENCE SEGMENTATION

Digital audiences were segmented according to customer type and service intent.

Objective: Improve lead quality by reaching customers with stronger signals of immediate or near-term service need.

04 — CONVERSION OPTIMIZATION

Restoration customers often have little patience for complicated digital experiences, particularly during emergencies.

Objective: Make it easier for customers experiencing property damage to immediately connect with a restoration provider.

05 — PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

Campaign performance was continuously evaluated across markets and service categories.

Objective: Maximize qualified opportunities while improving the efficiency of digital acquisition.

The Execution

Sunstone translated the strategy into a multi-market digital acquisition system designed to support a large restoration network.

MULTI-MARKET CAMPAIGNS

Campaign structures were developed around local markets, restoration services and customer intent.

SERVICE-BASED ACQUISITION

Marketing was aligned around high-intent services including water, fire, mold and storm restoration.

EMERGENCY CONVERSION

Digital experiences were optimized around the need for rapid contact during urgent property-damage situations.

AUDIENCE OPTIMIZATION

Audiences were continuously refined around geography, service need and customer characteristics.

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

Campaign performance was evaluated continuously to identify the strongest markets, audiences and services.

The Work

The digital marketing system connected Paul Davis’ national brand presence with local customer-acquisition opportunities.
Campaign structures were designed to support individual markets while maintaining consistency across the broader network. Campaign messaging was focused around the immediate needs of homeowners and businesses experiencing property damage. The customer journey was optimized around rapid inquiry and direct contact.

The Results

Paul Davis’ scale creates a unique digital marketing opportunity. With more than 300 locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, even modest improvements in local acquisition can compound into a significant increase in total network opportunity. (Paul Davis Restoration)
The strategy therefore focused on creating a scalable digital acquisition framework capable of operating across numerous markets and restoration categories.

NETWORK DEMAND GENERATION

Digital marketing created a scalable mechanism for generating restoration demand across multiple local markets.

LOCAL FRANCHISE OPPORTUNITIES

Improved digital acquisition created additional opportunities for individual locations to capture customers in their service areas.

EMERGENCY CUSTOMER ACQUISITION

The strategy focused on reaching customers during some of the highest-intent moments in the restoration buying journey.

Overall Business Impact

Sunstone Digital Tech helped develop a scalable digital acquisition framework designed to turn Paul Davis’ national brand reach and extensive local footprint into a larger pipeline of qualified restoration opportunities.

THE TAKEAWAY

Restoration marketing operates differently from most industries. Customers often search when they have an immediate problem, making visibility, speed and conversion critically important. For a network with more than 300 locations, the challenge becomes even larger: digital acquisition must work nationally while remaining relevant at the local-market level.
By combining multi-location campaign strategy, high-intent service targeting, audience segmentation and conversion optimization, Sunstone Digital Tech created a digital acquisition framework designed to scale across a national restoration network. The result was a larger qualified pipeline, stronger local-market acquisition and a more scalable foundation for continued digital growth. When a restoration network operates across hundreds of markets, even small improvements in digital acquisition can compound into millions of dollars in potential business opportunity.
