Chai Craft USA
Chai Craft USA is a chai café in Sunnyvale, California — a first-time bootstrap business with zero online presence when they came to us. No Google Business Profile, no domain authority, no reviews. We built their entire digital foundation from scratch and got them showing up in local searches within 90 days.
Key Results
The Challenge
Chai Craft USA launched with no online presence at all. No Google Business Profile, no website authority, no backlinks, and no customer reviews. In a market like Sunnyvale, CA — surrounded by established cafés with years of reviews and citations — a new business with zero digital footprint is essentially invisible to local searchers.
- Zero domain authority and no existing backlink profile
- No Google Business Profile set up or verified
- No customer reviews on any platform
- Brand-new website with no indexed pages
- Competing against established cafés with 100+ reviews in the local pack
Our Solution
We built their entire digital foundation from scratch: Google Business Profile setup and optimization, local citation building across 40+ directories, a review generation system, and on-page SEO for their core service pages. We targeted low-competition local keywords first to get early wins, then layered in content targeting broader "chai near me" and "tea café Sunnyvale" searches.
- Set up and fully optimized Google Business Profile with photos, services, and Q&A
- Built 40+ consistent local citations across Yelp, Apple Maps, and niche food directories
- Implemented a review generation process — staff prompts, QR codes, follow-up texts
- Created and optimized core service pages with local keyword targeting
- Developed content targeting "chai café Sunnyvale" and related Bay Area searches
- Schema markup for LocalBusiness, Menu, and OpeningHours
