Dollhouse

Dollhouse Manchester is an established boutique escort agency based in Manchester and servicing the Greater Manchester area. While operational and generating some organic traffic, the site wasn’t competing with the bigger players in the area.

There were significant structural and technical flaws affecting performance, causing the site to miss out on non-branded local queries.

Goals

Update the site’s architecture to fix severe crawl issues and maximise mobile user experience

Begin capturing new users at various stages of the buying journey, including both high-intent transactional searches and more research-based informational queries

Introduce high-converting landing pages to capture premium local searchers at the point of booking.

Aim

Strategy

Technical optimisation and indexation

We removed thin and duplicate content, optimised site structure for best use of crawl budget and made major sitespeed improvements

Strategy

Content overhaul

We restructured category page layouts, wrote original content for individual providers, and delivered a suite of relevant and useful blog posts. Doing so simultaneously eliminated our duplicate content issue and gave us more opportunities to rank for both transactional and informational keywords.

Strategy

Authority building

We improved the overall authority of the site through an extensive internal linking audit and building contextual links between pages. We bolstered this with a number of off-site backlinks to demonstrate serious authority in the space.

Technical optimisation and indexation

Content overhaul

Authority building

Technical SEO Foundation & Indexation

The initial stages of the project focused entirely on fixing fundamental crawl issues that were preventing search engines from properly understanding and ranking the site. We created and implemented a clean, functional sitemap, submitted manual indexing requests through Google Search Console, and fixed the core crawl issues preventing search engines from efficiently discovering and understanding the site’s content.

Local expansion and Performance Optimisation

Having stabilised the main technical issues, our focus turned to improving mobile usability and matching local search intent.

We resolved the massive duplication issues by consolidating the overlapping location pages, ensuring that users had one clear place to go to for their query to be answered. We optimised site speed for mobile across the site and fixed the broken buttons that were hampering mobile conversions.

We also built permanent navigation text links in the site’s navigation to make it crystal clear to search engines the areas we operate in.

Category Architecture & Topical Content

Next, we developed and executed a new site-wide content plan. We designed and published category pages specifically created to capture high-intent, niche search terms for specific types and services like Mature, Couples and GFE, for example.

We reinforced these and our new suite of location pages with a host of blogs designed to capture long-tail searches and confirm semantic connections through internal links to the core location and category pages.

Key Wins

The technical corrections, layout updates, and targeted outreach delivered substantial, compounding growth across all target organic channels between May 2025 and May 2026:

At the start of the campaign, nearly all valuable transactional traffic was coming from brand-name searches. By May 2026, our new subpages had expanded so rapidly that non-homepage assets captured over 2,700 organic clicks per month.

Following the technical mobile cleanup and the rollout of interactive layouts, the site saw a major engagement improvement. Monthly Engaged Organic Sessions increased by +326.5% (from 888 to 3,787 sessions), while the Average Organic Engagement Duration rose by over 40%. Users were no longer just landing on the site; they were actively sticking around and exploring high-value conversion pages.

Dollhouse Manchester successfully moved from Page 8 to Page 1 for its most commercially valuable keyword, “Manchester escorts”. The term generated 1,297 organic clicks during the reporting period and helped drive growth from 55 to 239 first-page keyword rankings across the site.
