The Situation Before

Maxim Karaoke had no website — zero digital presence beyond a Google Business Profile with 38 reviews. The business relied entirely on walk-ins and word of mouth. No online booking, no SEO, no content strategy, and no way to measure or grow.

  • No website — zero online presence beyond GBP
  • No online booking or payment system
  • No SEO, no content calendar, no paid ads structure
  • Relying entirely on walk-ins and word of mouth
  • GBP had 38 reviews but wasn’t actively managed

What Was Built

The project covered the full digital stack — from a 9-page WordPress website to a live performance dashboard pulling real GA4 and Search Console data.

  • 9-page WordPress site: Homepage, Booking, Pricing, Rooms, Birthday, Corporate, Student, Happy Hour, FAQ
  • Online booking with Stripe live payments + $50 deposit flow
  • Full SEO: RankMath on all 9 pages, LocalBusiness schema, GA4 + GSC, sitemaps submitted
  • Password-protected client dashboard with live GA4 + GSC data (Supabase + Edge Functions)
  • Social content calendar — 12 posts, 3x/week with Stories plan
  • Meta ads audit — client was running boosted posts, not real campaigns
  • 86% mobile traffic — site fully optimized for mobile-first UX

Why It Worked

Strategic Analysis

Proper site architecture gave Google clear signals about service areas and offerings. Mobile-first UX matched the 86% mobile audience. GBP alignment with on-site content created the consistency signals Map Pack algorithms reward. Targeting specific, high-intent queries like “karaoke bars under 21” rather than broad terms let a new domain rank fast without competing against national directories.
