Summit Crane & Rigging Becomes the First Call for Time-Critical Lifts

When a general contractor needs a crane, the company that answers first usually gets the job. Summit had the equipment and the operators — but not the visibility or the response system. We built both.

Representative example — illustrates a typical engagement; identifying details have been changed.

Overview

Summit Crane & Rigging serves construction sites, plants, and logistics operations across the Inland Empire — taxi crane work, planned lifts, and rigging crews. Demand in the region is strong and time-sensitive: when a site needs a lift, the search happens that day and the decision happens within hours.

The Challenge

What wasn't working

GCs and site supers searching for crane service found national brokers and competitors first. Inquiries that did arrive went to a shared inbox checked between jobs — by the time someone called back, the lift was booked elsewhere. There was no tracking, so nobody knew how many opportunities were being missed.

The Strategy

What we recommended

Win the moment of need: paid search and local SEO for crane and rigging searches across the IE’s industrial cities, landing pages built for fast quoting, and CRM automation that turns every inquiry into an immediate callback task.

The Execution

What we actually did

Launched Google Ads for crane rental, crane service, and rigging searches with campaigns split by city and service type
Built dedicated landing pages with capacity charts, insurance documentation, and a fast-quote form
Implemented CRM routing: every call and form triggers an instant text acknowledgment and a callback task assigned in under a minute
Built local SEO and Google Business Profile authority for crane service searches in Ontario, Fontana, Riverside, and San Bernardino
Added call tracking with recording so response time and quote quality are measured, not assumed

Before & After

The Difference

Before

Invisible for crane and rigging searches across the IE
Inquiries sat in a shared inbox between site visits

After

2.7x more qualified project inquiries in the first five months
18 new GC and contractor accounts opened
9-minute average response time — measured on every lead
Recurring work from accounts won on responsiveness alone
