Client Overview

A full-service catering company serving a large US metropolitan market specializing in corporate events, production catering, and special occasions. The company had built a strong reputation through word-of-mouth and traditional marketing but had never invested in digital marketing or search engine optimization.

The Challenge

When the client approached Tiger29 in early 2025, they faced several critical challenges:

Zero organic search visibility – The website was essentially invisible in search results for relevant catering keywords

No digital marketing foundation – The business had never invested in SEO, content marketing, or local search optimization

Heavy reliance on referrals – While their reputation was solid, they needed predictable lead generation to scale operations

Strong local competition – Competing against well-established catering companies with years of digital marketing investment

The Tiger29 Solution

Tiger29 implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy beginning in March 2025, focusing on four key pillars:

Key Strategy Components:

On-Page Optimization: Optimized title tags and meta descriptions, restructured website content to target high-intent catering search queries, created dedicated service pages

Local SEO Foundation: Targeted location-specific keywords with clear commercial intent, optimized for local pack rankings

Google Business Profile Optimization: Fully optimized GBP with complete service descriptions, high-quality imagery, and consistent NAP citations

Off-Page SEO & Authority Building: Implemented Digital Location Management to establish authority across multiple platforms

The Results: 9-Month Transformation
