A long-time GreenCup Digital client, Eastbrook Homes brings the holidays home with stunning customizable home builds in communities throughout West Michigan and the Greater Lansing Area. Eastbrook’s 2022 digital marketing goals included a fresh, new look and improved functionality for their business website.
GreenCup Digital was happy to help; our web development and copywriting teams joined together to launch Eastbrook’s brand new website this year, with custom-built features designed to enhance user experience, site speed, and search engine optimization (SEO). We also pivoted our SEO strategy around an ever-changing housing market to promote several different resources and keep traffic and engagement up. Our partnership resulted in an eye-catching, welcoming website that expertly guides clients to professional resources while communicating Eastbrook’s long-standing reputation of being one of the best home builders in West Michigan.
