Boosting Visibility with SEO and Local Optimization

How We Leveraged Google My Business to Drive Leads
Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool that allows businesses to manage their online presence across Google Search and Google Maps. It plays a crucial role in local SEO as it helps businesses appear in local search results, making it easier for potential customers to find them. The GMB profile directly impacts the local search ranking algorithm, which considers factors like relevance, distance, and prominence to determine which businesses appear in local search results. By optimizing their GMB profile, businesses can improve their visibility, attract more local customers, and enhance their online reputation.
To enhance our client’s Google My Business profile, we completed the following actions:
- NAP Consistency: Ensured that the Name, Address, and Phone number (NAP) were consistent across all platforms.
- Description and Features: Updated the GMB description to reflect the company’s services and values, thus enticing users to choose us over other transportation companies.
- Attributes: Highlighted Visit Vans’ inclusive values by adding “Women-Owned,” “Black-Owned,” and “LGBTQ-Friendly” attributes.
- Features and Amenities: Detailed the features and amenities offered, enhancing the profile’s completeness and attractiveness to potential clients.
Local Impact: How Google My Business Fueled Our Growth
Updating and optimizing our Google My Business profile obtained the following results:
- Phone Calls: A 60% increase in phone calls from the GMB profile.
- Profile Views: A 27% increase in GMB profile views.
- Keyword Searches: A 207% increase in the number of keyword searches leading to the GMB profile, including high-traffic terms like “Allentown transportation.”
Unlocking Growth with a Powerful On-Page SEO Strategy
On-page SEO refers to optimizing individual web pages to improve their search engine rankings and attract more relevant traffic. It involves optimizing content, HTML source code, and site architecture to ensure that pages are both user-friendly and search engine-friendly. On-page SEO is essential for improving a website’s visibility for specific keywords, making it easier for potential customers to find relevant services. By creating well-structured, keyword-optimized pages, businesses can enhance their chances of ranking higher in search results and driving more organic traffic to their site.

By incorporating strategic keywords, optimizing meta descriptions, and ensuring high-quality content, we aimed to improve our search engine rankings. This approach not only enhanced visibility but also catered to the specific needs of potential clients, effectively positioning our services in front of the right audience at the right time.
With this strategy, we achieved the following results:
- Keyword Rankings: This strategy boosted our keyword rankings to the first page on Google, achieving a #2 ranking for “non-emergency medical transport” and a #8 ranking for “wheelchair patient transport” in the Lehigh Valley.
- Web Traffic: The service page became the most trafficked page on the website, contributing to the overall increase in web traffic throughout 2024.

Hear From Visit Vans
“Zoleka began marketing and SEO for my business Visit Vans Transportation in August of 2023 and we’ve seen substantial growth. The phone rings more and we’re closing more sales. Her services have breathed new life into my business after those hard Pandemic years. The numbers don’t lie, and this is the proof!
It’s an easy process starting and growing with Mekile
Creative Group. There’s outstanding professionalism and openness to our creative ideas and preferred direction. Before connecting with MCG I tried doing it all on my own like other small business owners, but it wasn’t working well at all.
Working with Zoleka was one of the best decisions and investments I’ve made for my business and peace of mind in years.
Thank you Zoleka for your help in growing my business in 2024, I can’t wait to see what we accomplish in 2025.”
