Overview:
An airport assistance service approached us with a critical problem: they had zero visibility, zero calls, and no ranking presence on Google for their core keywords such as “airport assistance near me”, “meet and greet service *”, and related transactional terms.
Their Google Business Profile was inactive, unoptimized, and invisible across all major local search surfaces — meaning stressed travelers, frequent flyers, and international visitors simply couldn’t find them when searching for help navigating the airport.
They partnered with me to revive their online presence and start generating consistent booking inquiries, direct calls, and reservations from local and travel-intent search.
The Challenge:
Here’s the “Before Working With Us” section rewritten for an Airport Assistance service:
Before Working With Us:
- No Google Business Profile set up — the service had zero presence on Google Maps and local search
- No keyword rankings — completely absent from results for high-intent searches like “airport assistance service” and “meet and greet airport near me”
- No calls, no booking inquiries, and zero interactions from any online source
- No map coverage — the business didn’t appear on a single grid point across the area
- No trust signals — no reviews, no photos, no business description, no established credibility with travelers
- Competitors were already well-established and dominating the 1–5 ranking zone across major airport and travel-related searches
In short: They were starting from absolute zero. No digital footprint. No online discoverability. No incoming leads.
It wasn’t a recovery — it was a ground-up build. A brand new airport assistance service in one of the most competitive travel corridors, with everything still to be built and proven.
