The Opportunity
Boosting Online Visibility and Appointments for Charm City Links

- SEO Audit
Our SEO and content experts performed a comprehensive SEO audit on the Charm City Links website, which included competitor research, target keywords, suggested meta descriptions, title tags, and recommended target word counts. - Content Creation
Using insights from the SEO audit, our copywriters produced informative, on-brand, SEO-optimized content for the website. This involved optimizing existing pages like the Home, About Us, and Book An Appointment pages, as well as creating a new product page that showcases the different jewelry options available during appointments. - Local Citations
We built local citations on platforms such as Google My Business, Yelp, Bing, and Facebook, improving local rankings—an essential factor for local SEO.
