Challenges of the Shredding Industry

In most urban cities across North America, paper shredding is hyper-competitive. There are independent players competing against other independents, in addition to national service providers. Despite such a noisy marketplace, we have found time-proven strategies to attract new leads and clientele. For example, homepage loading times directly impact conversion rates. Your homepage must load quickly, or searchers will abandon your page. Also, visitors crave high-quality content, so count on our SEO copywriters to produce unique content that gets noticed by Google. By outsourcing digital marketing tasks to NetGain, you’ll quickly rise above the competition and win new business.

Marketing Opportunities in Document Destruction

There is immediacy when people are shopping for paper shredding services. Customers often have boxes of files waiting to be destroyed. The first company to give them what they are looking for usually wins the business. But appearing first in search results is only half of the battle. Your homepage must be tailored to convert visitors into paying customers, or people will continue searching. We have found conversion-friendly landing pages make all the difference. There’s a long list of conversion techniques we employ such as social proof, trust badges, calls-to-action, and click-to-call functionality. With a few tweaks, NetGain tips the odds in your favor of winning that next big purge or weekly route customer.

Engaged in the Document Destruction Industry

NetGain continues to actively participate within the information management industry. One way we support the shredding community is by providing free seminars at i-SIGMA association conferences. Our speaking engagements are always lively and well-attended. We believe in educating the marketplace with actionable tips and strategies. Our sessions empower members to become better digital marketers. Also, NetGain regularly teaches classes at “Shred School”, a 2-day “boot camp” designed to train new entrants to the destruction industry. As a result of our association activity, our customer list stretches from coast to coast.

WHY NETGAIN?

In a word, exclusivity. Once we engage with a local shredder, we close off the city to
any other shredding company. Our philosophy is not to compete against ourselves
online. Rather, we focus all our efforts on capturing shredding leads for you. In fact,
our favorite type of customer starts off as a small, 1-truck company. We love playing a
part in helping small shredding businesses dominate their marketplace. Over time, we
take pride in watching a 1-truck operation expand into an entire fleet of mobile shred
trucks. We truly consider ourselves as a partner in your success.

DataShield is one of Omaha’s largest independent document

TITAN Mobile Shredding, Philadelphia PA

TITAN switched to NetGain based on our reputation for robust SEO and attentive Google Ads management.  Our mandate was clear from the beginning: deliver qualified business leads.  As a first step, we substantially improved visitor conversion rates by overhauling their website.  Next, we employed Google-friendly strategies to drive traffic to the new site.  The result is a steady influx of new enquires.  Business is brisk and our client is delighted!

sun-city-shredding-logo

Sun City Shredding, El Paso Texas

Sun City’s website was badly out-of-date, so much so, it was scaring customers away.  NetGain to the rescue!  Our goal was to beat local competitors with a highly producing website.  To steer us in the right direction, we tapped into our experience of designing websites for the records management industry.  The relaunch was a resounding success. And the dynamic video throughout the site really makes it “pop”.  Another happy customer!

i-SIGMA is the international trade association for the secure management of information. It is comprised of two associations: NAID (information destruction) and PRISM (records management). i-SIGMA hired NetGain to design their new website.

Google Ads for the Shredding Industry

Nobody knows pay-per-click like NetGain. Since we’re running online ads for destruction companies across the country, we know exactly how to configure a healthy ad campaign. We’ve obtained years-worth of data on click-through-rates, conversion rates, and cost-per-lead. For example, if we notice strong performance in one city, we’ll replicate across the country. That’s an immediate advantage over your competitors. And as a verified Google Partner, NetGain has demonstrated exceptional value to clients with paid advertising campaigns. When it comes to PPC management, our experience pays off. If you’re still fumbling your way through Google Ads, then it’s time to hand it off to the experts at NetGain.

SEO Copywriting for Shredding Companies

Most shredding owners are laser-focused on day-to-day operations. However, they do so at the expense of attracting fresh, new customers. The most successful shredding companies consider themselves as digital marketers that just happen to offer shredding as the end product. The good news is SEO doesn’t need to be rocket science. An often overlooked, yet simple, SEO strategy is to produce high quality content. Compelling content is good for user experience and good for Googlebots. But it can be challenging for owners to create a new web page at the end of a busy day. That’s why it makes sense to outsource content creation to NetGain’s SEO copywriters. Best of all, we’re already experienced in writing for your industry. We shore-up content on your service pages and write original articles on data destruction. Leave the writing to the experts at NetGain.

Shredding Accolades

“NetGain exceeded our expectations!! Two thirds of our business comes from the internet. We had a very old site that was bringing in business but the growth level was slowing. We looked at three companies that had experience in our industry and NetGain gave us a great proposal that paid attention to the important task to redirect from the old site to the new site. The new site was launched and we saw an increase in inquiries very quickly. We are very happy with our new site and we recommend NetGain very highly.”

James Dowse, Time Shredding, New York City

importantly they can be found online when people in their
area search for shredding services.

Shred Vault as they expand throughout the country.
