Introduction
In the heart of Columbus, Ohio, a renowned home inspection business, Habitation Investigation, found itself at a crossroad. Our initial encounter revealed a landscape teeming with challenges yet brimming with untapped opportunities. Despite their sterling reputation and a wide array of services, their online presence had waned, casting a shadow on their once-promising partnership with Townsquare Interactive. As months stretched into years, the cracks in the foundation became glaringly apparent, leaving us with an intriguing puzzle to solve.
