How a Pastry Shop Grew with Website & Digital Marketing?

Local business can transform their business with digital marketing and SEO. As a local SEO company helping small, family-owned businesses, we work with businesses of all kind. Here’s the experience of local pastry shop owner in San Diego, CA. For obvious reasons, we have made it anonymous.

As the owner of a small pastry shop in San Diego, I can attest to the importance of finding an affordable SEO expert for a family-owned local business. When I first opened my shop, I focused solely on creating delicious pastries and providing excellent customer service. The shop had lots of great feedback from my friends and family. Initially, the shop had a good flow of customers from my own circle. Soon, the customers were few and far between. I had exhausted my social network, and they have had too many pastry by now. That’s when I realized we needed to market our business. However, I quickly realized that having an online presence was crucial to reaching new customers and growing my business.

I knew I needed to get a website and improve my website’s search engine ranking to attract more customers, but I didn’t have the time or expertise to do it myself. I decided to look for an SEO expert who could help me improve my online visibility and attract more customers to my shop.

At first, I was hesitant to hire an SEO expert because I thought it would be too expensive. I needed an expert who had experience working with small businesses like mine and who could help me develop a customized SEO strategy that fit within my budget. Most local SEO companies were pretty expensive and beyond my affordability. As a new business, I couldn’t just pay $5,000/month for SEO. I wasn’t even making that much on a monthly basis. I needed a cheap and affordable SEO company. After doing some research, I found Digital Spurt, an affordable SEO expert in San Diego. The SEO agency didn’t have a local office, but I connected with them to learn how it worked. They responded to my email quickly and helped me learn all about business websites and how I could drive more customers to my shop with local SEO. The conversation made sense and it was much cheaper. How did they offer such cheap rates? I was a bit skeptical. I was told that they managed to keep their prices low by not having offices, which cut down their expenses. They also worked from offshore locations, which meant their SEO experts could afford a great life at much lower cost of living. That’s exactly what one of my school friend was doing. She was a full-time marketing professional working remotely, and living a digital nomad life. So, it made sense to me.

I decided to try Digital Spurt as my local, affordable SEO expert. Within a month, my business website was ready and online. In less than 2 months, I had started getting new customers at my store. My biggest surprise was getting a bulk order for a birthday party of a pretty young girl. I was ecstatic to get an order above $1,000, my biggest till date.

With a constant flow of business, my decision to get online and hire an affordable SEO company had worked. Today, my website is in the first page for several keywords. My website’s search engine rankings keep improving with each passing month. My shop ranks high in local search results, and I get more traffic to my website and more customers in my shop. With one right decision to hire a great SEO expert, I have turned by business into a success. Maybe, in a few months, I will look to expand and start another shop at another location.

Overall, working with an affordable SEO expert was one of the best decisions I made for my pastry shop. By improving my online visibility, I was able to reach more customers and grow my business. If you’re a small or family-owned local business in San Diego, I highly recommend working with Digital Spurt, or finding another affordable SEO expert who can help you improve your online presence and attract more customers to your shop.
