Moyo
SEO Case Study
Moyo needed more new customers coming through their door every month and SEO was exactly the right tool to make that happen. As well as launching a new website, it was important that the site was found by potential customers as they can now book online, choose their stylist and shop their range of luxury hair care products.
The Proof
4-7 months after starting SEO, Moyo flew up the Google rankings from the 30th position to the top 3 for target keywords such as “hair salon in Dublin”.
Below you’ll see where they rank for their main target keywords. Once they were ranking in the top 5 -10, they experienced more than a 20% increase in new customers.
After 10 months of SEO work, they stopped because they were ranking in the top 3 for “hair salon in Dublin” and “hairdresser in Dublin” which was bringing in lots of new business.
In the last few months Moyo has dropped down the rankings for some of their keywords. This is an easy fix, and we’ll quickly have them back on top. SEO doesn’t have to be regular but it pays to keep an eye on it.
Google Maps Results
SEO extends far beyond your website, it incorporates the world wide web. We optimised Moyo’s Google My Business and Google Maps account with beautiful images and smart text, resulting in an increase in usage and enquiries from their Google profile.
Not only did this help strengthen their SEO, it expanded their audience reach and brought in new customers. The work we carried out on Google Maps also promoted Kevin’s passion for the environment and now the salon ranks first on Google search for “Sustainable salon in Dublin,” and “Eco friendly salon in Dublin”’
