Local Hawaii Search Success Story
Wow!
Imagine waking up one morning to find your website in the number one position on Google for a very, very competitive term. Now imagine getting to that position using nothing but free local search tools and a little help from the Internet Marketing Association of Hawaii. That’s exactly what Harlan Hughes did with his Maui Zen Villa Spa.
View From The Top
The spa business is huge in Hawaii and very competitive. There are over 4.5 million web pages that show up on Google for the term “spa on Maui.” And, with over 60% of the people who search for “spa on Maui” perceiving that the spa in the top position is the best spa on Maui, Harlan and his Maui Zen Villa Spa are sitting pretty.
The most amazing thing about the Maui Zen Villa Spa getting to the top “free” position on Google is that it is not optimized for the search engines.
So how did the Maui Zen Villa Spa get to the top so quickly?
The people at the Internet Marketing Association of Hawaii helped me understand what I needed to do to get my site seen by the search engines. To my surprise, it not only showed up on Google, it showed up in the first position ahead of some very big spas like the Four Seasons, the Diamond Resort, the Grand Wailea and others.
You Need Traffic Too
Getting to the top spot and staying there are two different things. With additional help from IMAHawaii, Harlan is learning how to drive customers to his website through basic SEO, article marketing, video marketing, blogging and more.
