How “Dubai Based Restaurant” 15x Their Business After Getting Burned by Local SEO

(Client name changed for privacy.)

When Dubai Restaurant came to us, they weren’t just skeptical; they were done with SEO.

They had already hired another “SEO agency” a year prior. They promised results, flooded their inbox with confusing reports, and charged them every month… but their Google rankings didn’t budge. Neither did their phone.

Their words to us during our first call: “We tried SEO. It didn’t work.”

But they didn’t have a traffic problem; they had a strategy problem.

What We Found

After a full audit of their websitem and GMB, here’s what we uncovered:

Weak local optimization – Their homepage didn’t mention their city, items anywhere in the title or content.
Thin content – Service pages were generic and under 200 words.
No blog strategy – Zero internal linking and nothing new published in over a year.
No Google Business activity – Their listing was barely optimized and hadn’t been touched in months.

It wasn’t that SEO “didn’t work” it just hadn’t been done right.

What We Did

We put together a clear local SEO strategy, including:

Keyword-optimized service pages for each flower type and event
Localized content that mentioned her city and surrounding areas
A monthly blogging plan focused on common customer searches
Optimization of their Google Business Profile with regular updates and review prompts
Got her backlinks from various reputable online sources

We didn’t sell them a magic bullet. We showed them the map and walked with them step by step.

The Results

Within 3 months, “Dubai Based Restaurant” saw:

+314% increase in organic traffic
Top 3 rankings for 18+ high-intent keywords, including “restaurant”, “restaurants near me” and “24 hours restaurants”
10X growth in revenue from organic search alone

And the best part? They no longer has to run ads just to stay afloat.
