Moyo
SEO Case Study
At Mamma Marketing, we know that a shiny new website is nothing (and nowhere to be found) without SEO. That’s why we made sure to optimise every page of Moyo’s new website for SEO, on-page (the part people can see) and off-page (the part people can’t see). Through implementing our tailored SEO for hair salons, we were able to get Moyo soaring to the top spot for important keywords such as ‘Aveda products in Ireland’, ‘sustainable salon in Dublin’ and ‘eco-friendly salon in Dublin’, leading to an impressive increase in enquiries, bookings and product sales via their website.
The Proof
The proof is in the stats! Within the first four to seven months of implementing our SEO for hair salons, Moyo jumped from below 30th to the top three search results for keywords such as ‘hair salon in Dublin’, ‘hairdresser in Dublin’ and ‘hair salon in Ireland’. This resulted in more than a 20% increase in new customers discovering their website which of course led to a big increase in product sales and salon bookings, so much so that after ten months of working with us on their SEO they were bringing in as much business as they could manage.
Google Maps Results
By optimising Moyo’s Google Business & Google Maps accounts, we were able to tie up all the loose ends and create a seamless online presence across all platforms. To achieve this, we updated all available information about their salon, wrote text using positive, SEO friendly language to entice new customers, generated more customer reviews and uploaded plenty of high quality images of Moyo’s salon and team, giving potential customers a well-rounded picture of what to expect when heading to their salon. All of this information creates trust with the customer, making them much more likely to choose Moyo over their competition and go ahead and make booking.
