Helping a Local Holistic Business Thrive Online With CDAP Support

Client Overview

Client: VANtastic Wellness Inc.
Industry: Holistic Health & Wellness
Location: Windsor & Essex County, Ontario
Project Type: Website Revamp via Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP)
Timeline: 4 Weeks
Tech Context: GoDaddy Site Builder, Custom Scheduling Integrations

VANtastic Wellness is a mobile holistic therapy provider and newly launched wellness center in Windsor-Essex. They provide mobile massage, reflexology, reiki, aromatherapy, and more — serving both individual clients and private group events across the region.

In 2024, with the help of the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP), VANtastic wanted to upgrade their digital presence to reflect their growing business and brand-new brick-and-mortar center.


The Challenge

As a mobile service provider branching into a physical wellness center, VANtastic needed a website refresh that reflected their new offerings, supported bookings, and improved local visibility — all within the scope of their CDAP grant.

Key Objectives:

  • Integrate new Wellness Center details and services
  • Improve local SEO across Windsor & Essex County
  • Ensure Google Business and online listings were accurate
  • Work within GoDaddy’s limited web builder
  • Set up a better scheduling & booking platform
  • Maximize value within CDAP budget constraints

“We’ve worked with many CDAP-funded projects, so we knew how to prioritize high-impact changes while staying on budget.”


The Solution

While working within GoDaddy’s native tools posed some technical limitations, we were able to deliver a meaningful upgrade to VANtastic’s site experience and performance:

Website Updates

  • Fully updated branding and services to reflect the new Wellness Center
  • Clear location-based SEO enhancements (meta tags, headers, alt text, maps)
  • Added a location page for the new center with optimized directions and parking info
  • Reorganized navigation and homepage layout for better service discovery

Scheduling & Booking

  • Implemented a custom scheduling system that works seamlessly within GoDaddy’s framework
  • Added booking functionality for both mobile services and on-site treatments
  • Ensured mobile responsiveness for clients booking from phones

Local SEO & Listings

  • Fully updated Google Business Profile with new address, hours, photos & services
  • Added local schema markup to improve visibility on search
  • Recommended citation updates across local directories

The Results

In just 4 weeks, we delivered a modernized and locally optimized website — giving VANtastic the tools to drive more local bookings, communicate their new center’s offerings, and grow their wellness business both online and in-person.

Outcomes:

  • +84% increase in local search impressions
  • Updated listings driving new client discovery
  • Smooth online bookings from mobile and desktop
  • Fully compliant CDAP project, delivered on budget

“Even with the limitations of the platform, Databending made it work. Clients are booking online, and we’re getting more visibility for the wellness center. It’s exactly what we needed.”
