⬇️
To being the first result on Google & AI search with brand-voice content that entertains, informs & converts visitors to leads.

🧩 Brief

⚑ Spend 30 seconds in conversation with Mati and you’ll want to be his friend.

⚑ He’s fun-loving, smart, happy to goof around while being very serious about his craft.

⚑ We needed to convey his chatty personality into dynamic words that look great on the page.

⚑ He’s located in Vienna and wants to appeal to eloping couples as well as locals – so highlighting his local knowledge was essential.

πŸ’‘ Strategy

⚑ Brand positioning: Our copywriters needed to capture a fun, confident and very personal tone for his written content.

⚑ Key Strengths: We needed to lean into his expertise and highlight the experience gained from being in the industry for longer than many competitors.

⚑ Deliverable: Create a bond of trust with his future clients, showing that they can rely on him in the run-up to, during and even after the wedding day.

⚑ Execution

⚑ Brand Tone: We spent a lot of time building a brand voice that reflects his personality shine and talks to the right types of couples.

⚑ Audience: We created a client persona of an adventurous couple who are keen on eloping or marrying abroad in Europe.

⚑ SEO: We developed a content & keyword strategy built to attract international clients.

🌟 Outcome

⚑ Website Copy: The words on Mati’s website speak directly to the type of clients he wants to attract by reflecting his personality and charisma.

⚑ SEO: He ranks on Page 1 for 37 target keywords, is featured in dozens of Google AI Overviews and is the first result for a wide variety of ChatGPT searches.
