Case Study: Petra Custom Builders — Social & SEO for a Design-Forward Custom Builder

Petra Custom Builders is a Boulder-based luxury home builder with a strong design sensibility and in-house team. They partnered with The Mina Company to clarify their online voice, increase reach, and improve their SEO performance — all while supporting their relationship-driven brand.

The Challenge

MINA'S FOCUS -

Petra had beautiful project photography and a solid client base but lacked consistent visibility online. Their social content wasn’t driving engagement, and organic search visibility was underperforming for such a high-end brand. They needed support across social media, SEO, and content planning to match their caliber of work.

Our Strategy

We focused on creating strategic consistency across platforms while improving visibility through local SEO and engagement-first content.

  • Social media content creation + management (Instagram + Facebook)

  • Branded post design + caption writing

  • SEO maintenance: keyword tracking, crawl health, metadata updates

  • Monthly strategy reports + performance breakdowns

  • Campaigns highlighting team, design process, and client reviews

THE IMPACT: Petra’s online presence evolved into something more aligned, consistent, and engaging. From SEO gains to social storytelling, they grew both visibility and audience loyalty — with content that felt just as custom as their homes.

The Results

Website & SEO Growth

  • Organic traffic made up 55% of all site visitors

  • Averaged 320+ monthly website users

  • New keyword rankings like:

    • “New home builders Boulder CO” (+29 positions)

    • “Petra construction company” (+7 positions)

  • Search visibility increased 8.9%, with 4 first-page rankings

  • Bounce rate reduced by 48.08%, showing stronger engagement

Social Media:

  • Instagram reach grew by +137% in September

  • Instagram impressions rose +85%, with 12,263 total

  • Facebook organic reach increased by +662% in August

  • Engagement rates regularly hit 8–13% on top-performing posts

  • Most effective content: behind-the-scenes reels, memes, and “pack” culture

  • Created a reusable content bank tied to their team values and service approach

Does Social Media Really Help Custom Home Builders?

Yes — especially when paired with strategic SEO.
In luxury construction, trust and storytelling are key. Social media creates the human connection, while SEO ensures you’re found by serious buyers. Petra’s content strategy drove reach and helped them rank for high-value local keywords — without paid ads.

Ep. 3 is out now! I Don't Want a Business That Needs Me. Most of us build our businesses like we're strapped into a roller coaster we can never get off. I've spent almost eight years building the opposite, a business that can run without me. In this episode I get into how I started Mina nine months pregnant after losing my job and while my mom was fighting cancer, the burnout that led me to half step away and take another job in 2022, and what it actually looks like to grow something without making it another child that needs you. Plus why I think women drastically underuse AI in our businesses, and the one prompt I'd tell you to run today. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow so you don't miss what's next. Link in bio!

Business, motherhood, money, grief, the messy middle of all of it. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow so you don't miss what's next.

We stopped making our clients choose. Growing businesses get handed the same either/or: a fractional CMO to lead the team you already have, or an agency to run things for you. But an agency often works on its own track, separate from your people. And most small businesses can't afford both. So we built Mina to be both. You get the strategic ownership of a CMO backed by a team to execute it. Already have marketing help? We lead them and bring the direction they've been missing. Need more hands? We bring ours. And it flexes. Full team in your busy season, a lighter touch in the lull. Month to month, so you never pay for more than the moment calls for. Lets chat about what working with The Mina Company can look like for you theminacompany.com

Some client relationships go all the way back. @lightcenterinc is one of them. They were one of our very first clients, and all these years later, they're still with us. The Light Center is a locally operated lighting company that knows lighting inside and out. They sell lamps, fixtures, outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, and even furniture and decor. So their website had to work as hard as they do. We built it to serve every kind of customer they have, with a live chat that connects visitors straight to their sales team, a smooth connection to their ecommerce platform, and a billing portal that makes life easier for their existing customers. They came to us with strong SEO already in place, and we made it stronger. These days we handle whatever they need, website updates, SEO, digital ads, and everything in between. This is what it looks like when a business and its marketing partner grow up together. Looking for a team to grow with you? DM us or reach out at theminacompany.com
