Outcomes
This is the perfect example of what local SEO strategy can do.
K9 Haven had no SEO in place and no visibility in local search. After a single strategy session, they implemented the full plan and quickly saw measurable results. This project highlights the impact of a well-executed local SEO strategy for a service-based business in a low-competition regional market.
They now rank in the top positions on the first page of Google for money-making keywords
They now receive a steady flow of leads from Google
They have experienced a significant growth in bookings and revenue
The Project
In this project, we focused on building a strong local SEO foundation for K9 Haven, a luxury dog day care facility in Buena Vista, Colorado. The engagement included a strategy session covering keyword research, competitive analysis, on-site conversion improvements, and guidance on local search visibility. I provided a full implementation plan, including a tracking sheet, plugin recommendation, and a step-by-step approach to improving their Google Business Profile. The goal was to equip them with everything they needed to execute the strategy effectively themselves.
What We Did
Keyword research (local, money-making terms)
Site structure improvements (where keywords go and why)
Competitive insights (who was ranking, and what they were doing right/wrong)
Google Business Profile strategy (category, services, photos, reviews, etc.)
Tools and support provided: tracking sheet, session recording, plugin recommendation, summary doc
Over a six month period since they implemented the strategy themselves, their impressions and clicks have continued to grow exponentially.

Why This Worked
This worked because the strategy was clear, targeted, and built for their exact market. K9 Haven didn’t need a complicated plan, they needed the right keywords, placed in the right spots, backed by a strong Google Business Profile. They followed through on every step, which is what made the difference. In a low-competition local service market, that kind of consistency pays off quickly. When the foundation is solid, results follow.
“My recent “Power Hour” with Khara was truly transformative. From the outset, Khara’s profound understanding of search engine optimization was evident.
The session was incredibly helpful, offering not just generic advice but precise, actionable steps tailored to my specific website and challenges. It was about practical, real-world solutions that I could implement immediately.
The insights shared were priceless. The knowledge gained in that single hour felt like years of condensed wisdom, providing invaluable strategies that are already guiding my decisions and setting me on a clearer, more effective path. This was a true investment in the future success of our start up business.
Most profoundly, the power hour was deeply enlightening. Khara explained the ‘why’ behind the strategies, revealing the intricate forces of the SEO universe. I walked away with newfound clarity and a much deeper understanding of the Google landscape, that seems to be always changing.
If you have the chance to experience an hour with this Jedi Master, seize it. It will arm you with powerful tools and fundamentally shift your perspective, making your SEO journey far more efficient, effective, and ultimately, successful.”
