The challenge
The site started with weak visibility — most of the searches that fill a family venue sat outside the top results entirely. In a competitive market for kids’ parties and rainy-day activities, that meant missing the parents searching every day.
What we did
1. Built sites around how families search
We built the website around every activity and intent that drives a visit or a booking — trampolining, soft play, toddler bounce, ninja course, free running, kids’ parties — each on its own optimised page, with a tuned Google Business Profile.
2. Took the Map Pack
For an activity centre, the Google Maps pack is the shop window. We moved the venue from nowhere into the top of the Map Pack for the searches that fill it, backed by strong organic rankings.
3. Defended and widened
We hold these positions, keep expanding the keyword net, and maintain the site so it stays fast and secure.
The results
Freedog Swindon now ranks at the top of Google for the party and activity searches that book out a family venue.
