Kobido Ireland, Carlow

Maya Dzianach teaches and practises Kobido Japanese face-lifting massage in Carlow, but had no website when she came to FCR Media. We built one in spring 2025 and took over management of her business listings. Fifteen months after launch, the site ranks first on Google for "kobido massage carlow" and organic clicks have more than doubled year on year.

The challenge

Maya had a Google Business Profile, a social following and a booking app, but no website. She owned a domain with nothing published on it, so anyone searching for massage in Carlow or Kobido training in Ireland had nowhere to land that she controlled.

She was also explaining her courses to every prospective student individually by sending out information packs.

What we Did

Website
  • A focused five-page site: Home, Facials, Massage, Courses and Contact.
  • Treatment and course price lists, with course content written up from Maya’s information packs.
  • Course dates kept up to date as new sessions are announced.
  • “Book Now” and gift voucher buttons linked to her existing booking system, plus WhatsApp and an enquiry form.
  • Domain hosting and a branded email address set up.
  • Local business structured data, Google Analytics and Search Console connected at launch.
  • Signed in March 2025, live by the end of May.
Listings management
  • Business details corrected and kept consistent across a network of online directories.
  • Google Business Profile linked, with monthly posts and regular review calls.
Ongoing support
  • New course dates, prices, photography and copy updates made on request.
