The Client

The Keene Axe House is an entertainment venue located in Keene, New Hampshire. While they initially started as an axe-throwing venue, they’ve expanded their services, introducing new attractions like a rage room, paint splatter room, pendulum painting room, and even a mobile axe-throwing service, allowing clients to rent an axe-throwing trailer for events.

The Challenge

When we first started working with The Keene Axe House:

  • They were only ranking for their brand name and keywords related to “axe throwing in Keene, NH”. 
  • They didn’t have dedicated pages for their mobile axe-throwing service or the new attractions they were about to launch. 
  • Their Domain Rating (DR) was just 7/100.
  • Their website wasn’t user-friendly. It loaded slowly, partly due to an auto-playing video embedded in the hero banner on the homepage.

The Solution

We took several key actions to improve this client’s SEO performance:

  • Backlink acquisition strategies that boosted their Domain Rating from 7 to 35.
  • SEO-optimized pages for each of their services.
  • Google Business Profile optimization, including adding all services offered and regular updates.

SEO content calendar: we published valuable informational content, with articles targeting the consideration/conversion phase and tailored to their audience.
