AutoLead Pro: Semrush results, month by month

Full Local SEO for a lead-generation site in a competitive niche. No link building, just on-page SEO, keyword research, and content structure, tracked and verified in Semrush, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Bing Webmaster Tools over 16 months. Results took longer than they should have, since the client was slow to act on the suggestions needed to gain visibility and had a lot of impossible things in mind. On top of that, repeated website revisions broke the site and left it infected with Japanese spam SEO, which was only recently recovered. AutoLead Pro is one of several websites handled for full SEO by a two-person team.
