The Challenge
Starting from scratch, Hurrdat wanted to ensure Hail Varsity Club had a strong opening and continuous business by increasing local awareness and promoting in-house events.
The Solution
To help Hail Varsity Club drive early business and grow local awareness, a strong website backed by local search optimization was essential.
Website Design & Optimization
We created an engaging restaurant website that worked alongside Hail Varsity Club’s Google Business listing on both desktop and mobile to boost the restaurant’s local search performance and provide seamless user experiences.
For a restaurant like Hail Varsity Club, their website needed to prioritize strong visuals that showed off their food and space, clear CTAs, and strategically built and optimized pages to rank for important search terms.
Local Search Optimization
To make it easier for customers to find Hail Varsity Club online, we created and optimized the restaurant’s online business listings across hundreds of local search directories.
Then, we shifted our focus to the most impactful local search directory—Google. We wanted our Google Business Profile to engage users and allow interested customers to convert right from the listing.
The Results
These are the results of our website design and local search optimization efforts over the first 21 weeks of the website and Google listing being active:
Google Impressions
• 308,000 Google Map Impressions
• 38,600 Google Search Impressions
