About the Client

Fairway 19 is Denver's premium indoor golf facility — simulator bays, a full bar, private lessons, and corporate event packages in a space that makes the game accessible and social year-round. It's the rare venue that works for serious golfers and complete beginners alike.

01 / The Challenge

Where they were
before us.

Great product, invisible online. Fairway 19 had zero organic search rankings in a market where players actively search for 'indoor golf Denver' and 'golf simulator Denver' dozens of times per day. No membership landing page, no event booking flow, no Google presence. The website was a one-page placeholder. They were opening the doors to foot traffic they didn't have because they hadn't been found yet.

02 / Our Approach

What we
actually did.

1

Comprehensive local SEO strategy built before a line of code was written — keyword research, competitor gap analysis, and content architecture mapped to the highest-volume local golf searches

2

Custom performance-optimized site with dedicated landing pages for simulator bays, memberships, lessons, and corporate events — each page targeting a distinct search intent

3

Google Business Profile optimization, local schema markup, and citation building to accelerate the local search ranking timeline

4

Event gallery with a dynamic content module the front desk updates weekly without developer involvement

5

Core Web Vitals optimization targeting 90+ Lighthouse scores to maximize Google's technical ranking signals

03 / The Solution

What we
delivered.

Full custom Next.js build with an SEO architecture designed from the first wireframe. Every page earned its place by targeting a specific high-intent local search. Six keyword targets hit page one within 90 days of launch.

04 / The Results
