Objective

Rustic Ridge wanted to redesign their current website to a more modern and professional online presence that would instantly provide a visual for their unique, rustic event venue. They required the site to be mobile-friendly and use a conversion-centered design geared towards driving web visitors to book their special event. Rustic Ridge also required that their users would be able to make payments online.

Strategy

Offshore Marketers started by conducting a comprehensive audit of the existing website, identifying areas of improvement in terms of design, content, and SEO. The team then developed a new, custom WordPress design that would render correctly on any desktop, tablet, or mobile device.
To improve SEO, Offshore Marketers implemented a keyword strategy targeting terms related to “rustic event venues”, “countryside weddings”, and “unique event spaces”. They also optimized the website’s meta tags, image alt tags, and content to improve its visibility on search engines.
To drive conversions, the team integrated a user-friendly booking system and Stripe payment processing to allow clients to make online payments right from the website. They also created engaging, SEO-friendly content that highlighted the unique features of the venue and the memorable experiences it offers.

After 9 months of implementing these strategies, Rustic Ridge Event Center saw significant improvements in their online presence and business performance:
  1. Website Traffic: There was a 60% increase in overall website traffic, with organic search contributing to 70% of the traffic.
  2. Search Engine Rankings: The website started ranking on the first page of Google for 15 targeted keywords, up from zero initially.
  3. Conversion Rate: The conversion rate of the website (visitors to bookings) increased by 30%.
  4. Online Payments: 80% of the bookings were made online, indicating the success of the integrated payment system.
  5. Customer Satisfaction: Customer feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the ease of use and aesthetic appeal of the new website.
