- The company aims to provide a comfortable, technologically advanced, and hassle-free meeting experience.
- ConnectHub’s Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is their secured meeting spaces with noise-proof technology, smart code access for meeting attendees and technologically advanced equipment in the meeting spaces which is not available yet in their more established competitors.
Costumers
- ConnectHub will cater to professionals in New York, who at any given time can book meeting spaces where a small group can meet and have a neutral ground for thoughtful discussions.
- It will create instant connections for tech-savvy professionals whose requirement for fast internet, secured log-in, uninterrupted wi-fi, smart TV and smart boards are part standard offers.
- A secure discussion is also part of USP or unique selling proposition as it offers noise-proof technology so customers with “highly confidential discussion” will find a safe place to meet.
Objectives
- Establish a strong online presence to attract local businesses and professionals seeking meeting spaces.
- Develop and implement effective SEO strategies to improve their visibility in search engine results.
- Drive organic traffic to their website within 3-6 months from the opening date.
Strategy
We have adopted a comprehensive SEO strategy for ConnectHub meeting spaces to build their online presence and increase their website’s visibility. Here’s how we did it:
1. Keyword Research:
- Through our trusted AI tool, Content at Scale, we have conducted extensive keyword research to identify relevant and high-value keywords related to meeting space rentals in New York.
- We focused on long-tail keywords specific to their Unique Selling Proposition (USP), such as “secure meeting spaces in NYC” and “smart code access meeting rooms.”
2. Local SEO:
- First things first, we set up and optimized their Google My Business listing, ensuring accuracy in business information, including address, phone number, and business hours.
- It’s always important to treat your clients like a king. We encouraged satisfied customers to leave reviews on Google to enhance their local reputation by giving free brewed coffee during the first month of operation. Customers get their QR coded digital coffee stub upon booking the meeting spaces.
3. On-Page SEO Optimization:
- We optimized ConnectHub website’s meta titles, descriptions, and headings with target keywords.
- We also ensured the content on their website (which was also done by Lucid Project Design) provided valuable information about their meeting spaces, including details about technology and security features.
4. Content Marketing:
- Part of their website design is a blog section to regularly publish optimized, informative and engaging content related to meetings, office spaces, and technology trends.
- We developed blog posts targeting industry-specific keywords to demonstrate expertise and attract organic traffic.
5. Link Building:
- Our team also actively pursued backlinks from local business directories, industry-specific websites, and partnerships with local organizations.
- We emphasized the value of their unique features (noise-proof technology, smart access) to attract niche-related websites for collaborations.
6. Mobile Optimization:
- And this is a must! We at Lucid ensured their website was mobile-friendly, given the increasing use of mobile devices for search and bookings.
- We also prioritized fast loading times and seamless mobile user experience.
