§ 02 — The brief

Bohemian is the studio’s flagship hospitality account — a multi-location café and brunch concept that became our case study for what end-to-end looks like when one team handles every channel.

Ch. 01 — The challenge

Two locations, a sprawling menu, a beautiful interior, and almost no consistent presence anywhere people were searching. Their Yelp was outdated, their old Squarespace site took 6+ seconds to load, and their Instagram was mostly reposts of customer photos.

Ch. 02 — Our approach

We rebuilt the site from scratch in Astro for a sub-1s load time, ran a full menu shoot over two half-day sessions, and stood up a weekly content engine across Instagram, TikTok, and Google Business Profile. Local SEO got the technical foundation (schema, citations, GBP), then a steady drip of locally-relevant blog content.

Ch. 03 — The outcome

Organic traffic compounded steadily — 3.5× over the year. Instagram went from a stagnant 1,800 followers to nearly 3,000 with active engagement, not vanity bots. The site ranks #1 for “bohemian cafe la” and lives in the Maps 3-pack for half a dozen variations of café-related queries.

They built us a site that finally feels like the room, then quietly handled the rest — photo days, Instagram, Google, all of it. We stopped thinking about marketing as a separate thing.
