The situation

In its first 60 days on the new site, the shop earned 172 search clicks and averaged position 24.7, which is page three.

The problem

Grooms and wedding parties search for advice before they search for a rental shop. Questions like "do you have to wear a suit to a wedding" went to fashion blogs, not local shops.

The work

Logo & brand identity

A new logo and brand system that looks like the place you trust with the biggest day of your life.

Website redesign

A new, fast, mobile-first website built to turn searches into fittings.

SEO

Technical cleanup and pages for tuxedo rental, suit rental and wedding parties.

Blogging

Answer-first articles on wedding dress codes and suit etiquette.

And more

Ongoing support that keeps the brand, the site and the rankings moving in the same direction.

Note: the two windows fall in different seasons, so part of the lift is seasonal demand.
