Client: Mr. Irfan
Business: TNT Road Side
Location: Brampton, Canada
First Contact: 25th February 2025
1. Introduction / Background
Mr. Irfan was operating a small, self-employed towing service in Brampton. He relied on his personal reputation, word-of-mouth, and a few brochures to get customers. Despite his hard work, his business growth was limited: calls were sporadic, and he wanted a more consistent volume of jobs.
He reached out to us via our advertisement, hoping to generate more leads — particularly through Google My Business (GMB). That first call, on 25th February 2025, would turn out to be life-changing.
2. Challenge
- Google My Business Suspension: Upon analyzing his GMB listing, we discovered it had been banned by Google because of policy violations. This meant he could not benefit from GMB-based discovery, which was a crucial source of potential customers.
- Lack of Formal Structure: Mr. Irfan was operating purely as a sole proprietor — no formal company, limited brand presence, and no scalable business structure. He admitted that he wasn’t sure if he could form a company in the near future.
- Limited Marketing Channels: His promotional efforts were restricted to brochures and on-premises reputation. He had no website, social media presence, or digital marketing infrastructure to generate recurring leads or scale.
- Early Performance Issues: After we began working together, our initial digital strategy did not immediately yield job calls — at first, there was only website traffic, but no real conversions into towing jobs.
3. Solution
Our approach was multi-pronged, leveraging our Business Empowerment, Digital Marketing, and Technical Services teams:
- Business Structuring Advice
- In our online meeting, we explained to Mr. Irfan why his GMB was banned and what it would take to regain trust.
- Our business empowerment strategists advised him to formalize his operations by registering a company. This step was critical, not just for compliance, but to position his business for growth.
- We guided him through the process of establishing the company legally in Brampton, helping him understand the benefits of operating under a registered business.
- Brand Building & Digital Identity
- Once the company structure was in place, we built a professional website for TNT Road Side, designed to convert visitors into leads (job calls).
- We developed a visual identity: logo, graphics, and branding materials that reflected reliability, trust, and professional service.
- Social Media & Content Strategy
- Our social media team created and maintained profiles for TNT Road Side, generating engagement and building brand awareness in the local Brampton area.
- We also produced promotional videos and graphics, positioning Mr. Irfan not just as a tow truck operator, but as the face of a growing roadside assistance company.
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- We implemented a robust, ongoing SEO strategy to drive organic traffic: on-page SEO, technical optimization, content marketing, and local SEO (once GMB issues were resolved).
- Our team constantly monitored performance, adjusted keyword targets, and worked to improve his local search visibility.
- Performance Monitoring & Iteration
- Initially, the strategy did not immediately convert traffic into job calls. Our team closely monitored analytics, identified bottlenecks, and doubled down on SEO and content efforts.
- Over time, as domain authority grew and search visibility improved, we began to see actual conversion: website visitors turning into genuine towing service inquiries.
4. Results
- Business Transformation: What started as a solo, self-employed towing service turned into a legitimate company — TNT Road Side — with a growing team, structure, and brand identity.
- Lead Generation: After several months of persistent SEO and marketing effort, the business began receiving consistent job calls through the website — turning his dream into reality.
- Growth & Scaling: With incoming calls and rising demand, Mr. Irfan has been able to expand his team, allowing TNT Road Side to serve more of the Brampton community.
- Long-Term Vision: The success of the digital strategy has given Mr. Irfan confidence to further invest in his business — he is now scaling with the goal of making TNT Road Side a well-known name in Brampton for roadside services.
5. Key Learnings & Takeaways
- Formalizing a Business Matters: By turning a sole-proprietorship into a registered company, Mr. Irfan unlocked credibility, compliance, and the foundation for scaling.
- Digital Presence is Essential: Without a website, social media, or proper SEO, even great service struggles to reach its full potential.
- Patience + Persistence: Digital strategies — especially SEO — often take time to convert. Initial traffic didn’t translate into calls immediately, but consistent effort paid off.
- Holistic Support Wins: Our integrated team — empowerment strategists + designers + SEO experts + social media — was crucial to deliver both business structure and growth.

7. Future Plans
- Continue scaling the business by adding more tow trucks and hiring more staff as demand grows.
