Turn marketplace dependence into profitable direct growth

CapstonAI completely changed how people find us locally. We’re a small physiotherapy practice, and fascia therapy is one of those services clients usually discover through word of mouth. Three weeks after we implemented the meta tag optimizations, our organic traffic wasn’t just “up”, it was about 5× higher, and it was the right kind of visits: people searching for fascia work, pain relief, mobility, and booking ready to go. Now our fascia sessions are fully booked roughly three weeks ahead, and for the first time we’ve had to start putting new clients on a waitlist. It’s been a huge shift from “quiet gaps in the calendar” to consistent demand.

We honestly didn’t expect to see anything that fast. Within about two weeks of CapstonAI polishing our meta titles and descriptions, our direct Google searches jumped by roughly 30%, especially for my name and “coach” related queries. You can feel it in the inbox too: more people landing on the right pages and actually reaching out instead of bouncing. It was one of those changes that looks small on paper but shows up immediately in real interest.

CapstonAI basically put our shop back on the map. We’re a local wine store, so we’re competing with big marketplaces, and we used to get buried for high intent searches. After the meta clean up and page tweaks, we started showing up near the top for the exact “buy” queries people type when they’re ready to order, and the traffic finally turned into actual sales instead of empty visits. The best part is it feels stable, not a one week spike.

CapstonAI helped us unlock real visibility without changing who we are. After optimizing our titles and descriptions, we started appearing in about 3× more relevant searches and it’s the right kind of traffic: people looking for our cuisine, our neighborhood, and specific dishes. We’ve noticed more calls, more direction clicks, and more people mentioning they “found us on Google” when they walk in. For a restaurant, that’s the difference between being a hidden gem and being on people’s shortlist.

We rolled CapstonAI out on a client project for a tapas bar and the impact was immediate. Once the meta tags were tightened up and the pages were made more consistent, organic visits climbed around 50%, and online bookings started ticking up week after week. It wasn’t a redesign or a big content push, just fixing what search engines actually read first. As an agency, this is the kind of quick win we love because the client feels it in revenue, not just in charts.
