“Amazing working with the Recursive Solutions team. Above and beyond, really. They captured the essence of who we are and made it so much easier for the right families to find us online. Such a transformative experience.”

My Little Paris

The starting point

The experience was there.
The website needed to catch up.

My Little Paris combines a café, indoor play, and children’s parties. The website had to help families understand those different experiences and find the right next step.

The brief was to move beyond the existing Squarespace site: make the offer clearer, design around conversion, and give the business a foundation for ongoing search visibility.

Three questions the site needed to answer

  • What can my family do here?
  • What do I need to know before visiting?
  • How do I reserve a session or plan a party?

The rebuild

A clearer path from
“looks lovely” to “let’s go.”

Clarify the experience

Rebuilt the site from the ground up, with messaging and information organized around the café, play space, and birthday parties.

Make the next step easy to find

Gave reservations and party inquiries clear calls to action, alongside the information families need to make a decision.

Connect content and SEO

Integrated the website with Lucy so content and SEO could be managed beyond the initial launch.

Before & after

Same personality.
A clearer first impression.

The new homepage brings the experience, the practical details, and the next step together, so families can quickly picture their visit.

The ongoing SEO loop

Show up for what
families are searching.

Alongside the rebuild, we put an ongoing keyword-monitoring and content process in place.

~300

keywords monitored for the business

Campaign scope; separate from Search Console’s query count.

  1. Monitor searches

    Track keyword opportunities relevant to the business and the families it serves.

  2. Create targeted content

    Publish articles around practical needs, from rainy-day activities to first-birthday party planning.

  3. Review the response

    Use search performance to see which topics are earning visibility and bringing people to the website.

New routes into the website

Four observed blog pages brought 29 search clicks in the recent period, compared with zero in the baseline. That is a subtotal of those pages, not the entire blog.

About the email figures

The screenshot shows +692.17% active users, +675% new users, and +700.23% events. Headline percentages are rounded. It also shows average engagement time of 51 seconds, down 5.77%.

The email’s date ranges, property, channel filters, and tracking continuity are not visible or independently verified. These reported increases should not be read as a confirmed before-and-after effect of the rebuild. Users, events, and Google search clicks are different measures.

The full picture: click-through rate fell from 6.5% to 2.7%. The site appeared in search much more often, but clicks grew more slowly. The reason for that change needs further analysis.

The opportunity builds beyond this snapshot.

Each useful article adds another way for a family to discover My Little Paris. As the content library grows and existing pages keep attracting searches, those opportunities can build on one another over the following months.

The goal is to turn that growing reach into more party inquiries, reservations, and returning families. That is why the work continues after launch: useful content to bring people in, clearer information to help them decide, and an easy next step when they are ready.

This describes the growth opportunity, not a forecast. Booking and customer growth need to be measured separately.

How we measured this

Source: Google Search Console, my-little-paris.com domain property, Web search, read September 9, 2026. Headline totals have no page, query, country, or device filters. Impressions and average metrics use the rounded values shown in the report.

The website launched around July 20, 2026. Both comparison windows contain 19 days and the same weekday mix. Search position is an average across searches, rather than a ranking for one specific keyword.

These results measure search visibility and clicks. They do not establish booking or revenue growth, or isolate the effects of the rebuild from content, seasonality, and other changes. The approximately 300 monitored keywords describe the campaign scope.

The original analytics snapshots

The supplied Squarespace screenshots document July 2–31, 2026. That period overlaps launch, so these provide historical context; the before-and-after figures above come from Search Console.
