Puzzle Vault Burlington

Burlington, ON, Canada

Launch plan for a brand new location with no reviews and no search history

White-label client, name changed to protect our agency partnership.

[ THE CHALLENGE ]

Puzzle Vault Burlington was a new location with no brand awareness, no reviews, no organic traffic and no word of mouth yet. A new venue has rent and staff from day one, so it needs bookings before it has any reputation to lean on.

[ OUR APPROACH ]

Campaigns went live on opening day with geo-targeted Google Search around Burlington for "escape room Burlington", "things to do Burlington" and "escape room near me". We claimed and optimized the Google Business Profile and set up a review request that went to every customer after their visit, because reviews are what a new venue lacks most. We added a competitor campaign for people searching other escape rooms in the Hamilton and Burlington corridor, then widened the radius and added team building keywords once the core campaigns were stable.
