Kaiser Brew Garden's Local SEO transformation

Before The Strategy

When we first started working with the team at Kaiser Brew Garden, they hadn’t optimised their Google Business Profile to take advantage of a number of keywords. For one of the main keywords, “Garden Bar” most of the regions across the city weren’t ranking (N/F). This was interesting considering amazing organic rankings.

After Strategy Execution

The results of our work mean that people are finding Kaiser Brew Garden further afield than just the central city. From 23/25 grid points being low to a great result ranking 25/25 in the top 3 results (average of 2.1 across the city). We are specialists at local SEO and this is just one example of the power of local search done well.
