Project Snapshot

Client: The Lab VR Club
Industry: Entertainment (virtual reality)
Market: Odesa, Ukraine
Service: Organic SEO
Year: 2022

The Client and the Challenge

The Lab is a virtual-reality club in Odesa - an entertainment venue where the customers are searching for something to do this weekend: 'VR club Odesa', 'virtual reality games', 'birthday party ideas', 'what to do in Odesa'. It is a local, impulse-driven category where the map result and the first organic result get almost all the bookings. The club's site had personality and no SEO: an unclear structure, no keyword base, thin text and no Google Business Profile worth the name. The goal was the top of the results.

Our Approach

An SEO audit identified the technical and structural issues, and the semantic core was collected around the searches that bring people to a VR club - the venue type, the games and experiences, occasions such as birthdays and team events, and the city and district terms. From the keywords we optimized the site structure so that each experience and occasion had a page, rather than everything living on a single home page.

What We Did

SEO audit and fixes
Keyword core
Structure optimization
New SEO copy
Link building
GBP optimization

New SEO text was written for the key pages - what the club is, what a visit involves, prices, games, party packages - in a tone that fits a venue selling fun rather than a corporate service. The fixes from the audit were implemented: metadata, headings, internal links, speed and indexing. Link building added authority from local entertainment, event and city resources. The Google Business Profile was optimized with the right categories, photos of the venue and the experience, reviews and posts, so the club appeared in the map results where most of these searches are decided.

The work was sequenced quickly because the category is impulsive: a structural change and new text can show results within weeks, and the goal was to be visible before the next holiday period.

Results

Top 1-3 positions for target queries and growing organic traffic.

The Lab reached top 1-3 positions for its target queries, organic traffic grew as the new pages ranked, and the optimized Google profile put the club in the map results for the searches that fill weekend bookings.

Notes From the Project

Occasion pages were the smartest addition. Searches for 'birthday party for teenagers' or 'corporate team-building' carry far more intent than 'VR club', and almost no competitor had a page for them. Each occasion page described the package, the group size, the games included, the price and how to book, and linked to the relevant experience pages - which is how a venue with a modest budget reached the top positions on queries the larger entertainment centres had ignored.

What This Means for Your Business

Entertainment venues in Vancouver - escape rooms, VR arcades, axe throwing, party venues - compete for the same impulse searches. North SEO's local SEO work gets a venue into the top results and the map pack for the experience, occasion and 'things to do' queries that fill the calendar.
