Client Overview

NY City Slab, located at 180B Buena Vista Avenue, Yonkers, NY, specializes in custom concrete countertops, slabs, and unique surface design solutions for residential and commercial properties across New York City and its surrounding areas. Despite providing high-quality products and services, NY City Slab faced challenges in attracting organic traffic and reaching potential customers through online search. They partnered with our SEO services team to improve their online visibility, generate more leads, and increase sales.
Challenge
1. Low Online Visibility and Traffic:
NY City Slab was not ranking for important keywords related to concrete countertops, slabs, and custom surface solutions, such as “concrete countertops NYC,” “custom concrete slabs,” or “concrete surface design Yonkers.” As a result, they were missing out on potential clients searching for these services online.

2. Underdeveloped Website Content:
The website had limited content to attract and engage visitors. The site lacked keyword-optimized service pages, blog posts, and detailed descriptions of their custom slab services.

3. Weak Local SEO:
The company was not showing up in local search results or map listings, limiting their ability to attract clients in Yonkers, New York City, and nearby areas. Their Google Business Profile (GBP) was incomplete and not optimized for local search queries.

4. Limited Backlinks and Domain Authority:
The website had few backlinks, which impacted its authority and ranking potential. Competitors in the custom surface industry had more established SEO profiles, making it harder for NY City Slab to compete for top rankings.
