How We Helped a Modern Laundry Brand Boost Organic Traffic and Rank Top 10 for Product Keywords

Freshly Folded, a modern laundry and dry cleaning service, came to us with significant online visibility challenges. You can explore the full Freshly Folded case study for a detailed look at the platform rebuild and booking experience we designed alongside the SEO work. Here is what we were dealing with:

• Low search visibility due to poor keyword targeting and minimal content
• Weak on-page SEO, including missing meta tags and unoptimized images
• Slow page speed and poor internal linking structure
• No clear content strategy and technical SEO issues affecting indexation

Keyword Research & Integration

We conducted thorough keyword research to identify high-intent, relevant terms and integrated them into product pages, meta data, and new blog content. The process followed the same principles outlined in Google's SEO Starter Guide, adapted specifically for local service businesses.

On-Page SEO Optimization

We systematically optimized all on-page elements for SEO best practices so they aligned with targeted keywords and improved content relevance. This included title tags, header hierarchy, image alt text, and structured meta descriptions across every page, following the approach we detail in our technical SEO optimization guide.

Programmatic SEO

We implemented programmatic SEO strategies to scale content creation and optimization across multiple pages, improving search visibility and organic reach. Each location page was generated with unique, locally relevant content rather than templated text.

Advanced External Linking

We developed a strategic external linking strategy to connect with authoritative sources, building credibility through citations to trusted industry and government sites. Tools like Ahrefs' backlink checker helped us audit and track link quality throughout the campaign.

Backlinks

We built high-quality backlinks from reputable sources to improve domain authority and search engine rankings across target keywords. Our content marketing and link building approach focused on earning links through locally relevant content and genuine business partnerships.

YoastSEO Standards Compliance

All content met YoastSEO standards, including proper meta descriptions, keyword optimization, readability scores, and technical SEO requirements. We cross-referenced recommendations against Google Search Central documentation to validate each change.

Performance Optimization

We compressed images, implemented lazy loading, and optimized code and scripts to improve performance and mobile responsiveness. Page speed results were benchmarked using Google PageSpeed Insights, with particular attention to Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Internal Linking Structure

We built a logical internal linking structure to distribute link equity effectively and improve crawlability. The strategy connected service pages, location pages, and blog content into topic clusters that search engines could parse easily.
