From Zero Online Presence to #1 Dog Groomer in St. Louis, MO - 8-12 New Clients Per Month
This dog grooming business had incredible talent and a loyal base of regulars - but no website, no Google profile, and no way for new pet owners in St. Louis to find them. We built their entire digital presence from scratch and made them the top-ranked groomer in their market.
The Challenge
Talented Groomer, No Online Footprint
When this St. Louis dog groomer came to us, they had no website, no Google Business Profile, and no social media presence worth mentioning. Their entire client base came from word of mouth - a great sign of quality, but a ceiling on growth. Any pet owner searching "dog groomer near me" in their area had no way to find them.
In a competitive metro market like St. Louis, the top spots in Google Maps are fiercely contested. Established groomers with years of reviews and optimized profiles were dominating every relevant search.
- No website
- No Google Business Profile
- Zero reviews online
- No citation presence in any directory
