Although Bus.com offers users award winning 24/7 customer service and access to the largest selection of charter buses from vetted suppliers, the websites of incumbent operators had been accruing backlinks and authority for decades, and dominated both the Organic and Local Search results. Bus.com was facing an uphill battle for competitive rankings.

This included: resolving onsite technical SEO issues optimizing all Service Pages for targeted keywords developing optimized Localized Content across ~60 regional markets launching a targeted Content Strategy to support both National and Local rankings Phenomenal + sustainable growth RESULTS In the first 2 years of implementing SEO measures, Bus.com saw Organic Search Traffic increase year-over-year 110% in the first 12 months, and an additional 84% in the subsequent 12 months.
