[Internal note for Anthony]

This case study is real and impressive, but it is off-ICP and it sells the opposite of the contractor offers (social media, influencer reels, paid ads, custom photography). Showing it to a roofer signals that we do social media, not local SEO and websites. Recommendation: move Melt to the Legacy Industries / hospitality section of the site, or retire it from the public site entirely. Do not link it from The Local Conquest, Tune-Up, or Site Lift pages.
