Client Snapshot
This Midwest bridal boutique has been helping brides say “yes” to the dress for years, with a reputation for designer styles, approachable price points, and a personalized experience. But like many small businesses, they faced a familiar challenge — how to stand out online in a crowded market.
That’s where Engaged Marketing Company came in.
The Challenge
The boutique was doing all the right things in-store, but their website wasn’t showing up where it mattered — in front of brides searching for wedding dresses online.
Here’s what they were up against:
-
Tough competition from national retailers and local shops.
- Zero to no local maps search visibility
-
Low visibility for bridal search terms that brides actually use.
-
High-potential pages on their site that weren’t getting seen.
-
A growing need to perform better on mobile (where most brides start their search).
Our Approach
We created a focused, no-fluff strategy designed for how brides shop. We focused on getting this boutique in front of the right people at the right time using search tactics that would quickly increase their local search visibility.
Here’s what we tackled:
✔ Keyword research and optimization, targeting the bridal terms that matter most.
✔ Content updates on pages brides care about — like affordable dress options and budget-friendly styles.
✔ Technical SEO improvements to make the website faster and easier to find, especially on mobile.
✔ Regular tracking to see what’s working and where to keep improving.
The Results
After consistent SEO work and thoughtful website updates, the boutique started seeing real improvements in how brides were finding them online.
