What We Did
We designed and built them a beautiful, easy to use site with SEO’d content that could help them rank organically. They are in an incredibly competitive industry up against online booking monsters like Vacasa, AirBnB, Expedia, and hotels.com who not only rank well organically but also run a ton of Google ads.
The new site we designed looks modern and clean, sporting a Cape Cod feel that the inn owners were looking for with a white, blue and sand color palette. We made the site mobile friendly and restructured the navigation to improve user experience across the board.
Outcome
Potential guests looking for a coastal getaway could immediately see the charming and welcoming experience the inn provides and let them easily check if rooms were available through the bright coral buttons.
Optimized content helped their keyword rankings jump from 462 before the site launch, up to 2,364 the month after the site launched.
(We’ve received) great feedback on the website. One friend says it makes her feel calm! It IS beautiful.
