How a family-owned tile and cabinet company in Anaheim went from invisible online to dominating local search, across 10+ competitive keywords.
A Great Business. Zero Online Visibility.
City Tile & Cabinets had been serving Anaheim homeowners for years, quality work, loyal customers, strong word of mouth. But when potential customers searched Google for tile installation or cabinet remodeling in their area, City Tile was nowhere to be found.
Their Google Business Profile was incomplete. Their website had no on-page optimization. Competitors with weaker reputations were outranking them simply because they had done the basics. The business was leaving consistent leads on the table every single day.
The goal was simple: get City Tile in front of Anaheim homeowners who were actively searching for exactly what they offer. We needed to move fast.

Six Weeks. No Fluff.
1.2K Active Users. Real People. Real Intent.
Year-over-year, organic traffic more than doubled. Active users went from 573 to 1,200, new users from 568 to 925, and average engagement time climbed from 31 seconds to 40 seconds. These aren't vanity numbers. They're local homeowners landing on the site and making contact.
73 Calls. Straight from Google.
In the same Feb–Apr 2026 window, City Tile received 73 calls directly from their Google Business Profile, a 15.9% increase year-over-year. The trend line shows steady growth from February through April, not a one-time spike. That's a compounding effect from sustained GBP management.
Revenue. Page 1. Six Weeks.
Every target keyword reached Page 1-2 of Google within the campaign window. City Tile now appears in the local pack and organic results for their highest-value searches, the positions that drive direct calls from buyers who are ready to hire.
Last year, 29.4K impressions resulted in 49 clicks. This year, 13.1K impressions resulted in 228 clicks. That's not a traffic drop. That's Google learning that this site belongs in front of buyers. CTR jumped from 0.2% to 1.7%, and average position improved from 50.3 to 24.
City Tile ranks in the top 3 of the Local Pack for competitive searches like "tile remodeling Anaheim CA" and holds a 3rd-place organic result on Page 1. They also rank #2 in the Local Pack for "residential tile supply Anaheim CA."
ChatGPT Picks City Tile #1.
Search engine rankings are one thing. Getting listed as the top recommendation inside ChatGPT is another. When someone asks ChatGPT for the best tile store in Anaheim, CA, City Tile & Cabinets comes up first, listed under "Top Tile Stores (Best Overall Picks)" with specific callouts for their full-service offering: materials, installation, and remodeling under one roof.
This is GEO — Generative Engine Optimization. As buyers increasingly turn to AI tools to make purchasing decisions, showing up in those answers is the next frontier of local visibility. City Tile is already there.
The Owner's Words.
City Tile & Cabinets is a family-run operation. The results weren't just traffic numbers. They were new customers walking through the door and real revenue closed directly from Google.
"We never had any web presence and now I'm shocked when people say they found us online."
"We got a call from Google and they ended up closing on a $14,000 ticket."
