What Was Going Wrong

Despite offering excellent classes and having loyal clients, the studio was invisible online. Foundational visibility issues prevented them from reaching new customers searching for Pilates in Scottsdale.

Key Issues Identified:

  • Incomplete Google Business Profile missing critical information
  • Wrong business categories limiting search relevance
  • Inconsistent business information across directories
  • Low review volume with no systematic generation process
  • No Scottsdale-specific content or location optimization

What We Fixed

  • Complete Google Business Profile optimization with all categories, services, and attributes
  • Built 47 consistent citations across major directories
  • Implemented automated review generation system
  • Created Scottsdale-specific content and location pages
  • Added 60+ high-quality photos showcasing studio and classes
  • Established consistent Google Business Profile posting schedule
  • Strengthened local authority signals throughout Scottsdale

This represents a strong example of a Pilates studio local visibility case study driven by foundational optimization work.

We went from struggling to fill classes to being fully booked three weeks out. The phone hasn't stopped ringing since we started showing up at the top of Google Maps. This has completely transformed our business.
