Challenges
Brand New Business in a Crowded Market
As a newly launched studio 808 Barre & Pilates had zero online authority and was competing with major national fitness brands.
Underoptimized Old Website
Becky’s original website was a simple one page design on Wix. It was not optimized for SEO and only ranked for the studio name. All services were on a single page which made it difficult to rank for specific Pilates and barre keywords.
Low Local Visibility
Her Google Business Profile was ranking between positions 9 and 11 often outranked by studios located more than 30 minutes away.
No System for Collecting Reviews
Without a clear strategy to gather and highlight customer feedback it was challenging to build immediate credibility in the local community.
Approach
New Website and SEO Optimization
We redesigned the site on Wix creating multiple dedicated service pages to capture relevant keywords. We implemented best practices for on page SEO such as keyword research meta tags site structure and engaging content to help the site rank between 1 and 2 for local Pilates searches.
Google Business Profile Overhaul
We fully optimized the listing with detailed descriptions high quality images and accurate business information. We targeted specific terms like Pilates Kailua to boost local search visibility.
Review Generation via QR Codes
We placed QR codes throughout the studio so clients could quickly leave Google reviews. This simple process dramatically increased the number of positive reviews.
Local Citation Building
We secured consistent listings across relevant directories to enhance local SEO signals and build trust with search engines.
