The Challenge

Unlisted on Google for years, with an expired SSL certificate

Polaris Home Funding Corp's site had gone unlisted in Google search results for years and was running on an expired SSL certificate — meaning the mortgage lender was effectively invisible to anyone searching for its services online.

What We Did

A two-phase rebuild, sharpened by real usage data

  • Phase 1: fixed the technical and SEO foundation — SSL, indexing, and core site health

  • Gathered real user and usage data once the site was back online and indexed

  • Phase 2: fully rebuilt the site again with a sharpened strategy based on that data

The Results

+38%Search clicks (Google Search Console)
