  New Website & Local SEO for a Mobile Car Valeting Service

**1. Project Overview
** This care provider in Stoke Poges wanted to increase local visibility but didn’t know where to start. Their website was outdated, not mobile-friendly, and their Google listing had incorrect contact info. They approached Merto for a full digital refresh.

2. The Challenge

• Outdated, unresponsive website
• Wrong phone number on Google Business Profile
• Poor keyword coverage (no mention of local towns)
• Low trust due to lack of reviews & unclear messaging

**3. Our Approach
** We conducted a local SEO audit and competitor review.

• Rebuilt website with a soft, trust-focused design
• Rewrote page content with local keyword targeting
• Added “areas we serve” pages and testimonials
• Fixed business listings across platforms
• Created a review strategy to increase social proof

4. The Solution

• Clean, accessible WordPress website
• Custom illustrations & iconography for services
• Service area content targeting surrounding towns
• Embedded review carousel + enquiry forms
• Google and Bing profile claimed & fully completed

**5. Results & Impact
** ✅ 4x increase in contact form submissions
✅ Ranked on first page for “care company [town]” in 6 weeks
✅ 30+ 5-star reviews collected within 2 months
✅ Google profile views increased by 270%
✅ Bounce rate dropped by 40%
