A rebrand that reached every franchise.
DKI Canada runs a national property restoration network — 70+ independently-owned locations answering fire, flood, storm and mould emergencies around the clock. Online, every one of them looked like a different company. We rebuilt the brand, the corporate website, and a four-template system now live on 30+ member sites — then went and ranked it.
One network, seventy front doors.
DKI Canada has been Canadian-owned and operated since 1992. Its members are independent restoration contractors — the crews who show up at 3am when a pipe bursts, a furnace catches, or a storm takes the roof off. Nationally there are 70+ of them, spread from the Island to the Rock.
The problem was never the work. It was that a homeowner in Calgary, a homeowner in Niagara, and an insurance adjuster looking at head office were all seeing three unrelated companies. Logos drifted. Colours drifted. Some member sites were a decade old and some members had no site at all. A national network was competing like seventy small ones.
DKI brought us in to fix it from the brand down — a unified look across corporate and franchise levels, a new corporate website built on a real SEO foundation, and a template system a member could adopt without hiring their own agency. Twelve months on, we've built 30+ member websites and we run SEO for six members across the country.
Fix the brand. Then ship it everywhere.
A rebrand that only lives at head office isn't a rebrand. Every decision here got made twice — once for how it looks, and once for how a small independent member with no marketing team actually adopts it.
Brand consultation — a system, not a logo file
We consulted on the new look end to end: colour palette, typography, and the piece most rebrands skip — a documented image style. Restoration photography has a default failure mode, all stock hazmat suits pointing at ceilings. We steered DKI toward real crews, real sites, real Canadian light, so a photo shot by a member in Barrie can sit beside a corporate shot without either looking out of place. That one decision is most of why 70+ locations now read as a single brand.
Twelve months of compounding search.
Every figure below is Google Search Console data — the corporate property plus the four member sites we run SEO for, September 2025 through August 2026. Growth is measured as the first three full months after each site launched against the three most recent.

Four templates. Thirty-plus member websites.
Alongside the corporate build we designed and developed four complete website templates any DKI member could adopt — four genuinely different design directions, all held to the same brand standard, all conversion-first, all fast. A member picks one, we populate it with their content, point their subdomain at it, and they go live. More than 30 members have taken one so far — every template below links to the live build.
01
Four distinct directions
Light and open, dark and urgent, editorial, or bold — four separate designs, so a member's site doesn't look identical to the member two provinces over while every one still reads unmistakably as DKI.
02
Emergency-first structure
Restoration is a 3am business. Every template leads with the 24/7 emergency line, a claim-reporting path, and a quote request built to work on a phone in a flooded basement.
03
Local service-area pages
Each template ships with a service-area architecture members extend town by town — the pages that actually win local search, pre-built instead of commissioned one at a time.
04
On their own subdomain
Every member site lives at member.dki.ca with DNS, SSL and hosting handled by us — inheriting the corporate domain's authority instead of starting from zero.
Out in the network.
In May 2025 we took a booth at the DKI Canada AGM in Toronto. Not to hand out pens — because you can't design for seventy independent business owners you've never met. DKI members aren't a marketing audience. They're contractors who get called at 3am, and what they need from a website is not what a brand deck assumes.
So we spent it listening. Which calls turn into jobs and which waste an afternoon. What the busy season actually looks like. Where running a franchise website had gone wrong for them before. That's the input behind the template program — the emergency line above the fold, the claim-reporting path, service-area pages named after the towns people actually type into Google.
It changed how the work arrived, too. Six members now run SEO with us, and a real share of the 30+ member builds started as a conversation at that booth. We got to know the other vendors in the network as well — the people members already rely on — which is how you end up part of how a network runs, instead of a supplier at the end of an email chain.
Roll your brand out to every location.
Franchise networks, dealer groups, multi-location brands — if your locations are all showing up as different companies, that's a fixable problem. One brand system, a template program your locations actually want to adopt, and an SEO foundation that compounds for every site on the network. That's what we built for DKI. We can build it for you.
