Achieve The #1 Google Maps Ranking In 90 Days

The primary objective was to secure the #1 ranking in the local Google Map Pack for The Ink Studio's most profitable services, and build a permanent lead generation asset that would consistently fill Madeleine's appointment book. No more dependence on unpredictable advertising.

✕A basic one-page Squarespace site on a shared subdomain, not her own domain

✕An unprofessional image that made clients hesitant to book premium services

✕No Google Business Profile and zero authority in Google's eyes

▪▪▪Challenges

An Unprofessional Website Was Turning Clients Away

Madeleine's talent wasn't being seen. Her complete lack of a professional online presence made the business invisible to local customers, and she was losing clients to competitors every day, knowing her work was superior but being overlooked.

The confusing one-page layout and shared subdomain actively damaged trust. For a high-value service like cosmetic tattooing, potential clients were hesitant to book. With no Google Business Profile or proper site structure, she had zero authority and no chance of ranking in the local Map Pack.

A Professional Business Needs A Professional Digital Footprint

The entire strategy was to build a complete digital ecosystem from the ground up, synchronising a new website and Google Business Profile into one powerful system that matched the quality of Madeleine's real-world work.

The Problem: A Disconnected Presence

A one-page site and non-existent Google Profile sent weak, confusing signals. Google couldn't verify who she was or if the business was legitimate, and the unprofessional site created doubt for customers booking a premium cosmetic service.

The Fix: A Complete Overhaul

We claimed and optimised her Google Business Profile, built a professional multi-page WordPress website on her own domain with optimised pages for each high-value service, and synchronised every business detail across both platforms.

Why It Worked: Synchronicity Builds Authority

The professional website proved her expertise, the optimised profile confirmed a legitimate local business, and a steady flow of 5-star reviews provided undeniable social proof. That combination rapidly claimed the #1 spot in the local Map Pack.
