Case Study: New WordPress Website, Mobile App, and SEO Marketing for Top Yacht Rock Radio
By Social ToothPaste Agency

Client Overview

Top Yacht Rock Radio is an online radio station that plays smooth, nostalgic Yacht Rock music, captivating listeners with the relaxed vibes of the ’70s and ’80s. As the station’s popularity grew, the need for a modern, engaging digital presence became essential to improve user engagement, reach new audiences, and stay ahead of the competition in the fast-paced digital age.

To achieve these goals, Top Yacht Rock Radio partnered with Social ToothPaste Agency to develop a new WordPress website, a mobile app, and an SEO marketing strategy to enhance visibility and user experience.

Challenges

Outdated Website: The previous website had a dated design and lacked essential functionality to enhance user experience or effectively communicate the brand’s identity.
Limited Mobile Experience: With the increasing number of mobile users, the lack of a mobile app and a responsive website posed a significant barrier for listeners on the go.
Low SEO Visibility: Despite a loyal listener base, the station struggled to rank high on search engines for key Yacht Rock-related terms, limiting its exposure to new audiences.
Branding and Engagement: The existing platform did not effectively foster engagement or offer features that encouraged deeper listener interaction.

2. Mobile App Development

User-Friendly Design: Created a mobile app with an intuitive interface, designed to offer easy access to the live station feed, playlists, and featured shows.
Push Notifications: Incorporated push notifications for new shows, artist spotlights, and live events, ensuring that listeners remained engaged even when they weren’t actively using the app.
Offline Functionality: Allowed users to access playlists and previously streamed shows even when they were offline, enhancing the user experience for frequent listeners.
