The challenge
Competing for the searches that matter locally.
Local transport businesses depend on reaching customers at the moment they need a journey. Searches for minicabs, local taxi services and airport transfers connect customers with providers serving their area. For Esher Station Cars, the opportunity was to make its existing website work harder as part of that discovery process.
Local relevance
Aligning the website's SEO direction with the services and locations most relevant to the business.
Search discoverability
Strengthening the website's foundations for searches associated with minicabs and airport transfers in Esher and neighbouring Surrey areas.
Existing-platform optimisation
Working within the client's established WordPress website rather than replacing it with a newly developed platform.
Inside the site
The existing site, optimised in place.
01
The site the SEO work is built on
The client's existing website, kept in place.
02
Services and locations in plain view
Booking options, the firm's story and the services customers search for.
03
The fleet and the airports
The vehicle range and airport transfer pricing that local searches lead to.
Screens from the client's website, which stays on its own domain and WordPress platform.
The approach
Three steps, one focus: local discovery.
- 01
Local SEO strategy
Focus the website on its service area: what the business offers, where it operates and how customers look for it, across Esher and the surrounding Surrey villages.
- 02
Existing website optimisation
Improve the platform already in place. The work stayed on the client's WordPress site, preserving its website and domain.
- 03
Search visibility as a growth channel
Build a stronger foundation for local discovery: services, location relevance, content and technical foundations working together.
