The problem

Maby lists nail salons across major US cities and lets people book them for free. A marketplace like that lives on search, and it was starting from nothing: a young domain with almost no organic traffic, up against directories Google had trusted for years.

Before and after

Before

  • Organic traffic close to zero for a full year
  • A young domain with little authority
  • Few links from sites search engines already trust

After

  • 37.9K organic visits a month, 99% of them from the US
  • 2,900 keywords ranking
  • Semrush Authority Score of 33, with 1,100 backlinks
  • Coverage in Benzinga, Barchart and IPS News

What we did

  1. Guest posts

    Articles published on established sites, each carrying a link back to Maby.

  2. Digital PR

    Press placements that put Maby in financial and news outlets, including Benzinga, Barchart and IPS News.

  3. A stronger link profile

    Links from sites search engines already trust, which is what a young domain lacks and cannot build on its own.

Where the coverage ran

Maby appeared in financial and news outlets, alongside a wider set of placements.

Benzinga

Financial news and market data, read by investors and traders.

Barchart

What changed for the business

Search now sends Maby around 38,000 visits a month, almost all of them from the US, which is exactly the audience a US booking platform has to reach. The coverage did two jobs at once: links that lifted the domain, and names a new brand can point to when someone asks who has heard of it.
