Lab Results
Long-term search engagements, public metrics, and zero cherry-picked percentage charts.
1 Percent Lists: Zero to National Franchise
We partnered with the founders in late 2015 when they opened their initial Covington office with a commission model the industry laughed at: full-service listings for a 1% fee. We built the local search engine foundation that doubled their annual sales volume year after year, earning them Inc. 5000 fast-growing honors. When they transitioned to franchising, we engineered the domain and schema architecture that scaled their footprint to 60+ offices across 24 states as of mid-2026. Recently completed a complete network-wide rebuild of the corporate and franchise sites with schema, IDX, and speed optimization.
Heather Murphy Group: Owning Savannah
Nine years engineering one team’s search dominance across Chatham, Bryan, and Effingham counties — entity architecture, hyperlocal coverage, crawlable IDX — through the coastal boom and into the most decorated trophy case in the market. Neighborhood-level optimization across Pooler, Richmond Hill, Rincon, and Guyton captured relocation waves long before buyers arrived. They are now the most productive, most decorated KW team in Greater Savannah, with over $2 Billion in closed volume and more than 7,700 families served, helping 249 families in 2025 alone.
Captain Troy Wetzel: Tuna Town’s Top Result
Eleven years running search for a world-record charter captain at the end of the Mississippi. Venice is a world-class yellowfin fishery, but bookings were historically controlled by commission-charging portals. We established a seasonal content moat timed to the winter tuna runs and summer charter seasons, harvesting organic traffic and driving direct bookings for Captain Troy’s Contender charter fleet. His boat holds 2 world records and 37 state records, backed by over 20 years of Gulf authority.
How We Run Search Experiments
Most search agencies rely on checklist activities or opaque monthly retainers. Our search laboratory runs on telemetry and repeatable experiments. Because we publish our own local search metrics (such as the 0.00% Maps SoLV baseline detailed in our Lab Telemetry report), we must back our campaign models with verified technical structures. Every local search campaign we execute follows a standardized, three-phase experimental process.
Baseline Grid Telemetry
We do not evaluate search visibility from a single desktop computer. We begin by executing geocoded grid scans via the Local Falcon API, measuring the Share of Local Visibility (SoLV) and Average Rank Position (ARP) across 81 coordinate points. This establishes where a business is visible to a customer at a specific GPS coordinate, identifying local pack boundaries and mapping competitor density.
Entity & Schema Integration
We deploy custom must-use loaders and Schema MONKEE templates to inject deep, clean JSON-LD graphs (including LocalBusiness, ProfessionalService, and RealEstateAgent entities) with defined areaServed polygons and geocoded parish coordinates. This provides search crawlers with structured semantic data that bypasses CMS limitations, ensuring the brand is understood as an entity rather than just a keyword string.
Reputation & Review Velocity
We build review-velocity programs that encourage clients to name their specific city and service within their review text. This creates local keyword relevance that search engines weight highly, expanding the listing prominence across coordinate boundaries. We compile this data monthly, analyzing trends and running single-variable experiments to expand the local pack’s reach.
How to Read These
Every client here is real, named, and checkable — their numbers are public record, not screenshots from a deck. And all three share the thing that matters more than any single ranking: they’ve each kept the same search partner for nine to eleven consecutive years — a national franchise, a top-producing team, and a single-captain charter operation. Three completely different businesses, one common denominator. We’d rather show you three decade-deep engagements than twenty logos who churned out in month seven.
More entries get logged as clients agree to go on the record. If you want references in the meantime, ask — over coffee.
Frequently Answered Queries
How long do businesses typically work with One Click SEO?
Our average client tenure is over 5 years, with our flagship case-study partners remaining in the laboratory for 9 to 11 consecutive years. We do not use long-term contracts or cancellation penalties; our retainers are strictly month-to-month, meaning client retention is driven entirely by ongoing performance and real-world results.
Why does One Click SEO base its case studies on real, named businesses?
Transparency is the core of our search laboratory voice. Most agencies publish anonymous case studies with cherry-picked percentage increases that cannot be verified. By naming our partners — such as 1 Percent Lists, Heather Murphy Group, and Captain Troy Wetzel — we provide checkable, public records of growth that serious operators can inspect.
What runs under a typical Search Laboratory technical deployment?
Every campaign is built on three layers: first, custom must-use loaders that inject optimized JSON-LD entity schema and enforce slate contrast layouts; second, precompiled Tailwind CSS bundles (lab.css) that deliver glassmorphic designs without overhead; and third, compiled JavaScript runtimes (ocs-lab.js) enqueued server-side to bypass aggressive firewall (WAF) script blocks.
How do you verify that the metrics in these case studies are accurate?
The metrics are sourced directly from public business records, MLS-verified closed volumes (such as the $2B+ volume closed by Heather Murphy’s team), state/national franchise records, and official IGFA world records for Captain Troy. We update our case studies and link them to live coordinate-based scans to ensure the data remains grounded in reality.
