The Situation

Where they started

Daniela Ortega has been making couture wedding gowns by hand for sixteen years. Local Guadalajara brides found her by reputation. But the clients she really wanted — the CDMX and Monterrey brides who fly in for fittings, who have larger budgets and bring referral chains — were never finding her at all. Her Instagram was beautiful but algorithmically invisible: low engagement, no calls-to-action, no link strategy. Her website was a portfolio Squarespace with no booking flow.

The Work

What we built and ran

  • 1
    Rebuilt the website around the lookbook and the atelier visit experience, with a "reservar cita" booking flow
  • 2
    Restructured Instagram: pillar content (atelier days, fittings, finished gowns), Reels strategy, weekly story rotation
  • 3
    Ran lookbook Meta ads in Spanish targeting engaged brides in CDMX, Monterrey, and Querétaro
  • 4
    Built a "couture vs. confección" content series that addressed the actual decision Mexican brides are making
  • 5
    Set up a deposit flow that respected the multi-month timeline of a hand-made gown
Timeline

How it unfolded

Weeks 1-3
New site, photography refresh, Instagram reset, ads campaign briefed
Weeks 4-6
Site live; Meta ads launch; first CDMX brides booking atelier visits within 2 weeks
Weeks 7-9
Google rankings climb for "vestidos de novia couture Guadalajara"; Instagram followers double
Weeks 10-12
Atelier visits booked 5 weeks out; deposits up materially vs. baseline quarter

"They redid our Instagram strategy and launched lookbook ads in Spanish. Our atelier visits are now booked five weeks out — most brides say they found us on Google before Instagram, which we never used to rank on at all."
