Pink Poles Studios, Atlanta’s premiere pole and aerial studio, sought a digital strategy to improve Google rankings, boost engagement, and create a mobile-friendly website, while leveraging our PR and branding services to expand their reach.
The comparison period for this case study is set from March 1, 2023 – September 19, 2023, representing the six months prior to our involvement in optimizing the website.
Our optimization efforts began on September 20, 2023, and continue through to January 23, 2025 (Present Day).
We began implementing key improvements in SEO, UI/UX, and
engagement strategies. This timeframe was chosen instead of a longer
period (e.g., dating back to May 2022) to ensure a balanced, seasonally
relevant comparison, avoiding potential fluctuations that might not
accurately reflect long-term trends. This allows for a clear
before-and-after analysis of our impact.

Challenge
Pink Poles Studios needed a comprehensive digital overhaul to strengthen its online presence and improve customer conversion. Key challenges included:
- Website Usability & Mobile Optimization – The existing website lacked a mobile-friendly layout, making it difficult for visitors to explore studio offerings, classes, and promotions.

- Immersive Studio Experience – Produced and integrated a 360° virtual tour, allowing potential customers to explore the space before visiting.
