If you ask most business owners where new customers come from today, many will immediately say social media or paid advertising.
That was exactly the mindset when Marcos, owner of Ace of Fades 212 in New York City, first reached out to our team.
Like many business owners, he had heard countless promises from marketing agencies and wasn’t convinced SEO could actually generate real clients.
Today, less than a year later, his perspective couldn’t be more different.
In a recent video testimonial, Marcos shared:
“I was very skeptical before about SEO and finding a marketing company… Everyone is relying on social media, but I took a different route and went with SEO with Wowbix. It’s changed my business. Right now I’m overloaded with clientele.”
For us at Wowbix, there is no better compliment than hearing a client describe the impact our work has had on their business.
Starting From Almost Zero
When we began working with Ace of Fades 212 in September 2025, we weren’t simply improving an existing SEO campaign.
We were building one from the ground up.
The business had very little organic visibility, minimal keyword rankings, almost no search authority, and a website that wasn’t positioned to compete in one of the most competitive local markets in the United States.
Instead of chasing quick wins, we focused on creating a long-term SEO strategy that would continue producing results month after month.
Step One: Completely Redesigning the Website
The first priority was rebuilding the website.
A great SEO campaign starts with a website that both users and search engines can trust.
Our team completely redesigned the Ace of Fades 212 website to create a modern experience that better reflected the quality of their services.
The redesign included:
- Improved user experience
- Faster loading speeds
- Mobile optimization
- Better site architecture
- Improved conversion paths
- SEO-friendly page structure
- Technical SEO improvements
The result wasn’t just a better-looking websiteâit became a much stronger foundation for long-term search engine growth.
Step Two: Building an SEO Foundation
Once the new website launched, our focus shifted toward comprehensive SEO.
This included:
- Extensive keyword research
- Creating new service pages
- Optimizing existing content
- Local SEO improvements
- Technical SEO fixes
- Internal linking strategy
- Schema implementation
- On-page optimization
- Content creation
Rather than targeting only a handful of keywords, we built an SEO strategy designed to increase visibility across hundreds of relevant searches.
Step Three: Building Authority
One of the biggest challenges for newer websites is authority.
Search engines want evidence that a business is trustworthy before consistently ranking it above established competitors.
To help build that trust, we launched an ongoing digital PR and outreach campaign focused on earning high-quality backlinks from relevant websites.
Our off-page SEO strategy included:
- Guest posting
- Manual outreach
- Authority backlinks
- Citation improvements
- Brand mentions
- Natural link acquisition
As these signals accumulated, the website’s authority continued growing month after month.
From virtually no authority to an Authority Score of 21, Ace of Fades 212 established a much stronger online presence.
The Results
The growth over the past several months speaks for itself.
Since launching the new website and SEO campaign, Ace of Fades 212 has experienced significant increases in visibility across Google Search.
Highlights include:
- Hundreds of keywords ranking in Google
- Organic traffic growing to over 360 monthly visitors
- More than 300 organic keyword rankings
- Over 600 referring domains
- More than 1,200 backlinks
- Continuous month-over-month SEO growth
Google Search Console also shows impressive momentum.
Over the past 16 months:
- 210,000+ impressions
- 2,240+ organic clicks
- Average ranking position under 10

Visibility Beyond Google
SEO today extends beyond traditional search results.
As AI-powered search continues growing, businesses must also be visible in platforms such as ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, AI Mode, and Gemini.
Our optimization efforts have helped Ace of Fades 212 gain visibility across these emerging AI search experiences as well, creating additional opportunities for potential customers to discover the business.
This is becoming an increasingly important part of modern SEO, and one that many businesses have yet to prioritize.
What Marcos Had to Say
Perhaps the most rewarding part of this project wasn’t the rankings or traffic.
It was hearing directly from the client.
- “Wowbix has changed my business from one to a hundred very quickly.”
- “Right now I’m overloaded with clientele.”
- “I’m only paying the minimum package, so I can only imagine if I invested more.”
- “I love my website. I love all the business that’s coming in.”

Every Business Starts Somewhere
One of the biggest misconceptions about SEO is that it only works for companies that already have an established online presence.
Ace of Fades 212 demonstrates the opposite.
By combining a professionally redesigned website, technical SEO, content creation, local SEO, strategic backlink building, and ongoing optimization, we helped transform a business that had limited organic visibility into one that consistently attracts new customers through search.
SEO isn’t an overnight strategy.
It’s a long-term investment that compounds over time.
This success story is the result of months of consistent workânot shortcuts.
