About Ground Zero Construction
Ground Zero Construction is a family-owned heavy excavation and site utility contractor founded in 2004 by Rod and Jamie Garman and headquartered in Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Serving Northwest Arkansas and Northeast Oklahoma, the company specializes in site development, excavation and earthwork, underground site utilities including waterline, sewer, and storm drain installation, and concrete work such as curb and gutter and paving. With more than 100 employees and a fleet of roughly 50 pieces of heavy equipment, Ground Zero works with developers, general contractors, engineers, and municipalities on residential subdivisions and commercial projects.
Challenge
Ground Zero Construction had grown through relationships with developers, engineers, and city officials, but it had very little marketing experience and a website that generated few contact forms or calls. Most of its search visibility came from people looking up the company by name, not from developers and contractors searching for excavation or site utility contractors in Northwest Arkansas. The owners wanted more leads without having to be heavily involved in the process. SmartSites set out to build the site's location and service content and grow its organic visibility across the region.
