the result that matters

booked three months out.

U.S. Waterproofing reports more demand than its crews can serve: booked three months ahead and unable to take on more leads. That’s backlog on the calendar, not a forecast.

    the challenge

    A buy-and-build platform needs every location found in local search, fast. Each add-on arrives with its own listing, reviews and rankings, or none.

  2. (02)

    what changed

    Locations like Schaumburg and Highland Park got their own pages, linked from their Google Business Profiles with tracked links. So local searchers land on a page built to turn them into leads, and every visit can be counted.

  3. (03)

    the result

    Visits from Business Profiles become leads 13.2% of the time, among the best of any source, and the company ranks #1 to #2 for local searches in Chicago, Schaumburg and Rolling Meadows. Clicks on searches for the company’s reviews and warranty are up 195% and 377%.

what it's worth

The set-up is the asset. Every new location can get the same page, profile and tracking from day one, so an add-on doesn’t start local search from zero.

That’s buy-and-build marketing a sponsor can underwrite: it repeats, it’s measured, and it sits in the company’s own accounts.

the company

U.S. Waterproofing fixes wet basements and cracked foundations around Chicago. It was founded in 1957. Rotunda Capital Partners invested in 2022, the first deal from its Fund III, as the platform for a buy-and-build. Since then, add-ons Crawl Space Brothers, Foundation Solutions 360 and Engineered Solutions of Georgia have joined.

notes on the numbers

  1. 1Figures compare Oct 9, 2025 – Oct 9, 2026 with Oct 9, 2024 – Oct 8, 2025, from GA4 (Google Analytics) and Google Search Console. A lead is what GA4 counts as a conversion. The lead rate is leads divided by visits.
  2. 2We leave out the website’s total visits and total leads on purpose. Bot traffic, leads counted twice and visits the site wrongly credits to itself make both totals wrong. Fixing that tracking is the next step, and the numbers here, broken out by source, should improve when it’s done.
  3. 3Business Profile results are counted through GA4 and Search Console. Call, direction and review data from Google’s Business Profile system wasn’t part of this pull.
