Client Overview
Our client, a Premium Apple Authorized Service Provider based in Toronto, faced unique challenges: their elevated “Premium” status—denoting top-tier customer satisfaction—was overshadowed by unauthorized competitors, making it difficult to stand out. Additionally, the client was heavily dependent on Apple’s official repair website for leads, limiting traffic from other potential sources.
Our mission was to strengthen brand distinction, amplify local online visibility, and increase lead generation through a cohesive SEO and content strategy.
Challenge & Solution
High Market Competition: Competitors, often using black-hat SEO tactics, consistently outranked the client in search results, making it difficult to capture new customers.
Minimal Online Presence and Weak Website Structure: Limited on-site SEO and a lack of structured online presence hindered visibility in local search.
Dependency on Apple Leads: With 60% of leads coming through Apple’s repair website, the client needed diversified traffic sources to ensure sustainable growth.
Inconsistent Branding: Despite its premium status, the brand was visually similar to competitors, impacting customer recognition and trust.
Lack of Trust-Building Visuals: Stock images on the site didn’t convey credibility to customers seeking reliable repair services.

The Strategy
Our approach centered around four primary initiatives: branding alignment, SEO and local search optimization, content and visual media, and conversion optimization.
Brand Alignment and Consistency
Branding Redesign: We enhanced the website’s look and feel, aligning color schemes, logo, and overall design with the premium experience customers encountered in-store.
Original Photography: Replaced stock images with professional, high-quality team photos, product shots, and a Google 360 Tour of the facility. This increased customer trust and transparency.
SEO and Local Search Optimization
Keyword & Content Strategy: Identified relevant high-traffic, low-competition keywords. We emphasized “MacBook Repairs” with optimized pillar content and created a series of resource pages to showcase expertise and capture audience interest.
On-Site Optimization: Improved site structure, implemented schema markup, optimized for mobile, added location-targeted keywords, and streamlined navigation for a seamless user experience.
Local SEO Focus: Built consistent directory listings, strengthening NAP citations (Name, Address, Phone) across Google My Business, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and other platforms. Additionally, competitor benchmarking helped us craft a review strategy to boost credibility and online presence.
Content and Visual Media
Premium Content Creation: Developed articles on high-interest topics, addressing customer questions and driving organic traffic. Content was optimized for search intent and repurposed across directories and social channels.
Visual Transparency: Our original photography highlighted the client’s unique offerings and professionalism, enhancing the brand’s trustworthiness.
Conversion Optimization and CTA Enhancements
Clear Calls-to-Action: Positioned targeted CTAs for online bookings, guiding customers to relevant services and streamlining the conversion process.
Enhanced Engagement: Added incentives (e.g., introductory offers) and strategically placed CTAs, reducing bounce rates and boosting site interactions.

Our efforts delivered substantial gains in visibility, customer engagement, and conversions:
Traffic and Exposure Growth: Organic traffic surged by 206%, capturing a broader local audience and establishing the client as a go-to service provider.
Improved Keyword Rankings: SEO strategies generated 36 new keyword rankings within three months, elevating the client’s discoverability and authority in search engines.
