Davis Painting Grew 300% Last Year – Now Colby Davis Is Taking Over Google One Post at a Time

Colby Davis runs Davis Painting, one of the fastest-growing residential painting companies in the U.S.

Look at his social media. He’s highlighting his crews in action, showing his team training, and making goal-driven statements like “We grew 300% last year.”

Besides running a painting company, he’s added a power washing company, too. We know a lot of power washers, painters, and roofers, the same principles apply to them.

Here’s what’s cool: he documents the journey.

• Eight years ago, Davis Painting was just one guy and a truck.
• Now, he’s got a fleet of trucks and is buying other painting companies.
• He’s been featured on podcasts and social media.

This content isn’t just coming from him, but from his clients, employees, and the people he’s working with.

And this kind of co-created content impacts search rankings, too. Colby Davis is featured in articles, social posts, and interviews, all of which improve his Googleability.

But here’s the issue: Colby doesn’t yet dominate Google search results for his name. Right now, when you search for Colby Davis, you see Colby Davis Jewelry from Boston instead of Colby Davis Painting.

That means we need to be more specific—so instead of just “Colby Davis,” we’re focusing on ranking for “Colby Davis Painting” for now (although it doesn’t seem difficult to outrank Colby Davis Jewelry).

We already have the following pieces in place:

• Social media impact on search rankings—I featured him on my Facebook, and that alone influences search visibility.
• Content creation focused on his name and company.
• Features in high-authority sites like Young Entrepreneur Council.

In a couple of years, people will look back and wonder how Colby Davis grew into the largest residential painting company in America.

Colby is building a recognizable brand—he has a Tesla truck with his company logo.

But I warned him that might be risky. Some people have strong opinions about Tesla, and we’ve seen cases where businesses face backlash or even vandalism over it.

I drive a Tesla too, but mine doesn’t have my name plastered on the side.

Everything Colby does: his interviews, social posts, client testimonials, and business growth milestones—can be repurposed into long-form content.

That’s why we’re applying the same strategy we used for Brady Sticker—creating high-quality content, tracking it in Colby’s Content Library and processing it through the Content Factory process to ensure Google ranks the right results.
