Winning maxi cab bookings against ride-hailing apps with a fraction of their marketing budget.
Maxi Taxi provides larger-capacity cab bookings for groups, families and airport transfers, competing in a search landscape dominated by ride-hailing giants. Ranking meant focusing tightly on the specific bookings a big app can't serve as well.

The Challenge
A niche service, drowned out by apps everyone already has installed.
Most people in Singapore default to a ride-hailing app for transport, which makes it hard for a specialist maxi cab service to get considered at all, let alone rank well. Yet there's a real, recurring group of searches, families needing a 7 or 9-seater for the airport, tour groups, event organisers, that ride-hailing apps don't always serve smoothly, especially with luggage or larger groups.
Maxi Taxi's previous online presence didn't clearly speak to those specific situations, which meant it was competing on the same broad terms as apps with vastly larger marketing budgets, a fight it was always going to lose.
The Approach
Competing on specificity, not budget.
SEO
Owning the searches ride-hailing apps don't target
- Built dedicated pages for specific use cases: airport transfers, group outings, and events requiring larger-capacity vehicles
- Targeted long-tail, high-intent searches like "7 seater cab booking Singapore" rather than broad, generic transport terms
- Improved technical SEO fundamentals so the site could load quickly and rank well on mobile, where most bookings happen
Local SEO
Being the clear, trusted local option
- Optimised the Google Business Profile with accurate service details, coverage areas, and vehicle capacity information
- Built a genuine review presence to establish trust against larger, better-known competitors
- Made booking details, pricing structure, and availability clear and easy to find, reducing friction at the point of decision
