Client Overview
Orientbell Tile Company, a leading tile manufacturer with over 300 dealers and a presence in 50 cities across India, faced challenges in brand visibility, customer inquiries, and online reviews. Unlike competitors who invest heavily in TV advertisements and celebrity endorsements, Orientbell had a lower brand search volume and fewer customer reviews on Google, which impacted its local search rankings.
The Challenge
Orientbell needed a digital marketing strategy to boost local visibility, increase customer reviews, and drive customer inquiries to its dealer network. The challenges included:
- High competition from brands with extensive advertising campaigns.
- Low brand search volume on Google.
- A lack of customer reviews leads to reduced credibility and lower search rankings.
The Solution
To address these challenges, our digital marketing agency implemented a comprehensive strategy focusing on optimizing Google Business Profiles, building local citations, encouraging customer reviews, and executing targeted local marketing campaigns.
Google Business Profile Optimization
The first step was optimizing the Google Business Profiles for all 300 dealer locations. This involved:
- Business Profile Audit: A thorough audit of each GBP to identify and correct inconsistencies in addresses, business hours, and contact information.
- Enhanced Visuals: Added high-quality photos and videos to showcase Orientbell's products and dealer locations.
- Optimized Business Descriptions: Created keyword-rich business descriptions for improved search engine ranking.
- Accurate Information: Ensured each GBP had an accurate Name, Address, Phone number (NAP), business hours, and service areas.
Local Citation Building

- Citation Analysis: Analyzed existing citations for NAP consistency and corrected any discrepancies.
- Citation Building: Created over 100 citations for each dealer location, using high-authority directories and niche industry platforms.
