Client: Daily’s Paving

Industry: Commercial asphalt and concrete paving contractor

Location: Baltimore, Maryland

Timeline: 2 weeks from start to launch

MarketKeep is proud to announce the launch of a new website for Daily’s Paving, a commercial asphalt and concrete paving company that has served the Baltimore region since 1982. The redesign gave a long-established contractor a modern, search-friendly website built to reach the general contractors, utility providers, and public sector agencies that hire commercial paving companies.

Daily’s Paving: A Baltimore Commercial Paving Contractor Since 1982

For more than four decades, Daily’s Paving has handled commercial asphalt paving, concrete work, mill and overlay, and utility restoration throughout the Baltimore area. Its clients are not homeowners looking to reseal a driveway. They are general contractors who need a dependable paving subcontractor, utility companies restoring roads after underground work, and public agencies managing infrastructure projects.

That kind of client researches carefully before picking up the phone, and more and more of that research starts with a Google search.

Why a 2018 Website Kept Commercial Clients From Finding Daily’s Paving

Daily’s Paving reached out to MarketKeep for help with its WordPress website. The site had launched in August 2018 and had not been updated since. Beyond looking dated, it had been built without search engine optimization in mind.

The original site handled SEO automatically, and poorly. Each service page’s meta title was built from the page name and site name, and its meta description was simply the first 140 characters of the page copy. None of it was written around what commercial clients actually search, so Daily’s Paving was hard to find when a general contractor or agency looked for an asphalt or concrete paving contractor in Baltimore, despite decades of experience.

Rebuilding the Daily’s Paving WordPress Site on Divi

Rather than starting over on an unfamiliar platform, MarketKeep rebuilt the website in WordPress using Divi, the same theme Daily’s Paving had been running. Keeping the existing theme made the transition smooth while giving us the flexibility to restructure every page around search engine optimization.

We also made sure the new site was fully responsive and easy to navigate on desktop, tablet, and smartphone. Project managers and estimators often look up subcontractors from a job site, so a site that works well on a phone matters as much as one that looks good on a desktop monitor.

Two-Week Website Launch for a Commercial Paving Company

The fast turnaround came down to preparation on both sides. Daily’s Paving supplied photos from its past projects up front, so the new pages could show real work instead of stock images.

MarketKeep spent the first week on strategy and content, mapping keywords to pages and rewriting the copy. The second week went to overhauling each page in Divi and launching the site.

Service and Client Pages Written for Commercial Paving Searches

The biggest part of the project was the content. MarketKeep overhauled the homepage and About Us page, then redeveloped the content for every core page on the site:

• Client pages: Contractors, Utility Providers, and Public Sector
• Service pages: Asphalt, Concrete, Mill and Overlay, and Utility Restoration
• Supporting pages: Equipment and Contact Us

Daily’s Paving is strictly a commercial paving contractor and does not take residential work. That shaped every content decision. Separate pages for each client type gave every page a specific commercial audience and its own long-tail keyword, while steering clear of driveway and homeowner searches that would only bring in leads the company would turn down.

A general contractor looking for a paving subcontractor and a municipality looking for a public sector paving contractor now each land on a page written for them.

Long-Tail Keyword Research for Baltimore Paving Terms

Chasing a broad term like “paving contractor” would have been a long, expensive climb. According to Ahrefs, that keyword has a difficulty score of 45 out of 100 and needs an estimated 68 referring domains to reach the top 10. In practice the bar is far higher: PCI Paving, which ranks on page one for the term, has 874 backlinks from 741 different websites.

“Commercial paving contractor in Baltimore,” by contrast, has a keyword difficulty of just 2 out of 100, and it is the exact phrase a commercial buyer types when looking for a local partner. MarketKeep used our own SEO Keywords for Paving Contractors, the Google Keyword Planner and Ahrefs to find long-tail terms like this one, then gave each its own page so every service and client type has a realistic path to the first page.

As of October 28, 2026, one week after launch, Daily’s Paving ranks on the first page of Google for all seven of its target search terms:

• Commercial paving contractor in Baltimore
• Commercial asphalt paving in Baltimore
• Commercial concrete paving company Baltimore
• Commercial mill and overlay services in Baltimore
• Paving subcontractors for GCs in Baltimore

These were the exact terms Zach Daily and the team at Daily’s Paving wanted to show up for, and each one lines up with a page built specifically to rank for it.
