How An American Liquor Store Used SEO To Get Position #1 for "Liquor Store" on Google

Since 1949, Quality Liquor Store hosts a wide variety of the finest liquors, wines and craft beers from all over the world to provide to customers. Located in San Diego, their mission is to ensure US customers have access to top-quality alcohol, delivered right to their doorstep.

Reaching out to Online Marketing Gurus in March 2022, Quality Liquor Store was looking to increase conversions from individuals looking to buy liquor online. As such, OMG created an SEO strategy that focused around created content targeting the right audience, acquiring quality backlinks and implementing the right technical fixes.

• GMB listing was not optimised with relevant business information
• Thin content on category pages restricting the opportunity for internal linking
• Content gap lacking keyword copy which is contributing to poor page performance
• Quality Liquor Store website on mobile had slow loading times affecting user experience
