To optimize for search engines and drive qualified traffic to Boarding Pass Coffee's website, we need to prioritize local SEO, product-focused keywords, and brand-defining terms that align with the company's mission, products, and customer base. Additionally, we will leverage Paid Search (PPC) campaigns to complement organic strategies and drive immediate, high-conversion traffic. Here's an overview of our approach to these core keywords:

 

Keywords and SEO Strategy Overview:

To drive traffic to Boarding Pass Coffee's website, a strategic approach to keyword targeting is essential. The primary categories for SEO include local SEO keywords, product & experience keywords, and brand keywords. For local SEO, keywords like "coffee shop Gainesville, GA," "Atlanta Coffee Roasters," and "coffee tasting near me" target geographically relevant customers. Product-focused terms such as "high-quality coffee," "coffee club," and "ethical coffee" highlight the brand’s premium and socially responsible offerings. Additionally, brand keywords like "Boarding Pass Coffee" and "unique coffee places near me" help ensure direct traffic to the brand’s website. These targeted keywords aim to increase organic search visibility and attract customers who are looking for quality, ethically sourced coffee experiences.

 

Competitor Analysis & Optimization Strategy:

In terms of organic search, Boarding Pass Coffee competes with local cafes such as MadTree Coffee and Reveille Coffee Co., as well as larger national chains like Starbucks and Dunkin'. Boarding Pass Coffee currently ranks well for terms like "coffee shop Gainesville, GA" and "specialty coffee near me," but faces stiff competition from these players. To optimize and differentiate, Boarding Pass Coffee should focus on content creation, on-page SEO, and local SEO strategies. This includes improving title tags, and meta descriptions, and regularly updating blog content to target long-tail keywords. For paid search, competitors like Starbucks and specialty roasters (e.g., Counter Culture Coffee) are bidding on similar broad terms such as "high-quality coffee" and "coffee near me." Boarding Pass Coffee’s paid search strategy should include Google Ads (search and shopping ads) and Facebook Ads to target coffee enthusiasts through geo-targeting, using ads that highlight unique coffee products and immersive experiences.

​

Paid Search Goals and Strategy:

The paid search strategy will involve Google Ads and Facebook Ads. With a monthly budget of $1,500 over six months, the goal is to increase online sales by 20%, grow coffee-tasting sign-ups by 20%, and increase overall website traffic by 30%. Google Ads will focus on location-based search ads for terms like "high-quality coffee near me" and "coffee subscription," while also leveraging remarketing and display ads. Facebook Ads will use geo-targeting to focus on local areas (Gainesville, Alpharetta, and Milton) and target coffee enthusiasts interested in sustainability and travel. This multi-channel approach ensures broad visibility and high ROI.
