Bilingual Dog Grooming Website
198 pages, bilingual EN/ES, and 0 to over 20,000 monthly search impressions
The Challenge
Fancy Pet Salon needed a comprehensive online presence to compete in Lynchburg, Virginia's dog grooming market. They wanted a bilingual website (English and Spanish) to serve the growing Hispanic community, with full local SEO targeting dozens of service and breed combinations. The existing web presence was minimal, just a Facebook page.
The Solution
I built a 172-page Astro SSR website covering every grooming service, dog breed, and location combination. Each page has unique content, Schema.org structured data, and proper hreflang tags for the Spanish mirror. The site is built on Astro with a custom CSS framework, no WordPress, no page builder bloat. I also built an AI chatbot (Buddy) powered by Groq/Llama 3.3 70B that answers customer questions in both English and Spanish, with guardrails to prevent off-topic responses. The site is server-rendered behind Cloudflare with a hero poster image as the LCP element for fast mobile load.
Beyond the Website: Systems That Keep Working
A fast website is the foundation, not the finish line. To keep Fancy Pet Salon visible in local search and easy to book, we layered two automated systems on top of it, the same playbook we run for J.M. Field and other local clients.
Automated Google Business Profile Posting
An automated poster publishes a fresh Update to her Google Business Profile every week, with no manual effort from the owner. A profile that stays active signals to Google that the business is current, which supports Map Pack visibility for high-intent searches like "dog groomers near me." It is the same posting engine that keeps our other local clients' profiles fresh week after week.
Online Appointment Booking
We stood up a self-hosted Cal.com booking system so pet owners can book a grooming appointment online instead of playing phone tag. Availability lives in one place, and the booking link drops straight into the website and the Business Profile so customers can act the moment they find her.
