Strategy
Our Strategy
The SEO experts at Big Leap designed a custom strategy that harnessed the power of Google My Business, page optimization, and a robust content marketing strategy. Combined with an overarching focus on keywords, this personalized approach netted SwimJim with rankings in the top position on page 1 of Google searches, as well as coveted online real estate in answer box listings and in high-converting Google map packs.
Local SEO
SwimJim wanted greater brand visibility to drive sales in two separate locations: New York City and Houston, Texas. The Big Leap team combed through SwimJim’s location listings and Google My Business profiles and optimized them for high-ranking keywords. This resulted in SwimJim being listed in the local pack for high-converting, location-based keywords. (The local pack refers to whenever someone searches for a local service online, and Google shows a map among the organic search results.)
SwimJim nabbed the #1 listing for “swimming lessons” in Houston, and the #2 spot for “Houston swim lessons”.
Content Marketing
We knew that high-quality, evergreen content would provide a solid foundation for SwimJim’s initiatives, establish an authoritative, online presence, and improve SERP placement. Through our content marketing campaign, Big Leap acquired first page rankings for FAQ-related keywords, driving more organic traffic to SwimJim’s website.
Blog posts were not only keyword rich, but also formatted to present information in a way conducive to Google’s featured snippets in answer boxes. Since publication, one SwimJim blog post has captured the answer box for two high-ranking keywords and ranks for an additional 393 organic keywords.
With a concrete local SEO strategy, SwimJim nabbed the #1 listing for “swimming lessons” in Houston, and the #2 spot for “Houston swim lessons”.
