The Challenge
Cape Stay, a prominent player in the short-term rental property management industry, was facing challenges with their online visibility.
Despite their well-established presence in Cape Town, newer brands were overtaking them in search rankings, causing Cape Stay to lose prominence in key search results.
The company recognized the need for an SEO overhaul to regain their competitive edge and ensure that their valuable services were easily discoverable by property owners.
The Solution
We improved Cape Stay's SEO by addressing technical issues like slow load times and poor mobile optimization.
We then optimized on-page elements such as title tags and meta descriptions, ensuring the site aligned with targeted keywords.
Dedicated service pages were created to focus on individual offerings like Airbnb cleaning and listing management, making them more visible in search results.
Through comprehensive keyword research, we targeted high-value, location-specific terms to increase their search visibility.
These efforts led to better user experience, higher rankings, and more targeted traffic.
Technical SEO Optimization
Cape Stay’s website was facing significant technical challenges, including slow load times and mobile usability issues, which negatively impacted its performance and search engine rankings.
To address this, we began with a comprehensive technical SEO audit, focusing on key areas like site speed, mobile usability, and ensuring that all pages were properly indexed.
We also improved internal linking and optimized the website’s crawlability, making it easier for search engines to navigate and index important pages.
By using tools such as Google Search Console and Screaming Frog SEO Spider, we were able to identify and fix technical issues that were affecting the site's performance.
On-Page Optimization
The next issue we identified was that Cape Stay’s content wasn’t fully optimized for SEO.
Important on-page elements like meta descriptions, header tags, and image alt text were not aligned with the targeted keywords, which limited their ability to rank effectively.
We performed a thorough on-page SEO optimization for each page, enhancing title tags, meta descriptions, header tags, and image alt attributes.
By making sure each page was structured for SEO success, we significantly improved the relevance and ranking potential of Cape Stay’s content.
Tools like Yoast SEO and Moz Pro were used to track progress and ensure proper on-page optimization.
SEO Optimization and Ranking Strategy
Cape Stay’s website was struggling to rank for crucial service-related keywords like "Airbnb management" and "short-term rental management" in Cape Town, which were essential for attracting their target audience.
To solve this, we implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy that focused on both technical improvements and content optimization.
We optimized existing pages by ensuring that all SEO best practices, such as proper keyword usage and internal linking, were adhered to.
Using tools like SEMrush and Ahrefs, we tracked keyword rankings and measured the overall SEO performance, working to drive relevant traffic and improve visibility.
Content Strategy Development
One of the major content-related challenges we faced was that the website’s structure wasn’t fully supporting SEO goals.
There was a lack of dedicated service pages, and the content didn’t align well with user search intent. To fix this, we developed a new content strategy to create dedicated pages for each of Cape Stay’s key services, such as cleaning, maintenance, and listing management.
Each page was tailored to target specific user needs and improve rankings for relevant search terms.
We used Google Analytics to analyze user behavior and determine the optimal content structure that best aligned with user search intent.
Keyword Research and Strategy
Cape Stay’s website was also missing opportunities to rank for high-traffic, relevant keywords in the short-term rental management sector in Cape Town.
To address this, we conducted extensive keyword research to identify high-potential terms that would drive targeted traffic to the site.
We focused on both broad and long-tail keywords, ensuring they aligned with both user intent and the services Cape Stay offers.
Using SEMrush and Google Keyword Planner, we refined the overall SEO strategy and made sure Cape Stay’s website was optimized to capture valuable search traffic.
