Achieving 1st Page Rankings and 46% Keyword Growth

Overview

As a SEM leader (PPC & SEO specialist), Olu Emmanuel worked with eMaids, a national maid service company, to strengthen their visibility for high-value cleaning-related keywords. Through keyword targeting, local SEO, and on-page optimizations, eMaids achieved first-page rankings for competitive terms and a 46% increase in keyword growth in just one month.


Initial Situation and Challenges

Despite being a recognized national brand, eMaids struggled to rank consistently for service-related keywords like “house cleaning NYC” and “online cleaning services.” Their keyword presence was fragmented across locations, and valuable high-intent terms weren’t reaching the first page.

2. Local Market Optimization

  • Built location-specific landing pages (NYC, Phoenix, Los Angeles)

  • Optimized with city-based terms: “house decontamination Los Angeles,” “cleaning service of NYC”

3. On-Page SEO & Content Updates

  • Enhanced service descriptions + FAQs with schema markup

  • Integrated CTAs and testimonials to boost trust and engagement

4. Meta & Title Optimization

  • Updated meta tags with keywords + benefits (e.g., “trusted, affordable, professional”)

  • Revamped NYC page title: “eMaids Cleaning Service of NYC – Professional House Cleaners”

5. Execution & Monitoring

  • Within 3–4 weeks, improvements were tracked via Google Search Console and Ahrefs
