"The numbers are steadily increasing since upgrading our website. It's helped tremendously and was pivotal to not get left behind in today's digital age."
The Business
Osika Contracting provides interior and exterior painting and staining, window cleaning, gutter cleaning, gutter guard installation, and pressure washing.
Owner Aedan Osika started the business as a franchise in 2021 before going independent, and quickly ran into a familiar small-business problem: growth was capped by how much manual outreach one person could do.
The Challenge: Marketing That Couldn’t Scale
Before OneLocal, Osika Contracting relied on door-to-door sales, referrals, and relationships to bring in work. Aedan also tested Facebook ads on his own, but the results were inconsistent.
“It could occasionally yield results, but it often felt like wasted spend with no return,” Aedan Osika explained — the kind of marketing that stops producing the moment the budget runs out.
He also built a DIY website on GoDaddy. It looked fine to him, but without the right keywords or SEO structure, it was invisible in search and not ranking at all. Over roughly a year, that site generated exactly one lead.
Why OneLocal
Aedan was introduced to OneLocal through a colleague, and what stood out wasn’t just the website — it was the AI-driven tools and the depth of the platform beyond a static page. He wanted something built for continuous growth rather than short bursts of paid traffic.
Getting Started
Onboarding took two one-hour meetings. Aedan says the site was ready almost immediately after the demo, and within less than a week he felt comfortable using the platform day-to-day. When he needed help migrating his email from GoDaddy to Microsoft, OneLocal’s support team resolved it in under two hours.
“They feel like an extension of my own team,” — Aedan Osika, Owner of Osika Contracting
Unexpected Wins
A few features surprised him.
The platform automatically turns job-site photos into full blog posts, and proactively suggests ideas — like eco-friendly painting options or AI visualization tools — that help him compete and better serve his community. Ongoing maintenance now takes less than five hours a month: uploading job photos, skimming recommendations, and reviewing blog drafts before they go live.
“I went from page seven in search results to page one — ranked 16 — in two months.” — Aedan Osika, Owner of Osika Contracting
The Results
35% of traffic from organic search
44% engagement rate
10 inbound leads — 6 phone calls and 4 form submissions
Website paid for itself within three months
Better online reputation
More confidence sending customers to the website
Aedan expected it might take six months to build any real presence. Instead, leads started coming in during month one, and by month three the leads generated had fully covered the cost of the OneLocal service.
His search ranking climbed from page six or seven to page one — landing at position 16 within two months — with sights set on the top three.
Beyond the numbers, the professional site has changed how prospects perceive the business. “I can point people to the website now and know it gives them a real, professional experience,” Aedan said, noting it’s helped him look credible for larger commercial jobs, not just small residential work.
The Advice
Aedan’s takeaway for other contractors: step out of the daily grind of chasing single jobs and invest in assets that keep working even when you're not.
