In this testimonial, Alexandra Kennan, founder of an urban hiking tours business in San Francisco, recounts how she transformed her modest start—just a website and business cards—into a thriving online presence using Wix. She describes the city’s many parks, highlighting Tank Hill as a favorite spot, and explains that her original site generated only 2‑4% of traffic from search engines. After switching to Wix, she leveraged its drag‑and‑drop templates, simple SEO keyword box, and mobile site features, rebuilding the site in one to two hours. Within one to two months, her search‑derived traffic rose dramatically to 20‑25%, which she attributes to Wix’s built‑in SEO tools. She emphasizes the platform’s ease of use for non‑designers and the tangible business impact of improved visibility.

When I decided to start this company, all I had was a website and a set of business cards. My name is Alexandra Kennan, and I run urban hiking tours in the city of San Francisco. Oh. I have so many places that I hike all around San Francisco. There are 230 parks. This is one of my favorite parks. It's called Tank Hill. Some of the views like this, you know, you just come to a hilltop and out of nowhere you'll see a beautiful view. And I love seeing how it takes people's breath away. You know, the technology has changed so much since I was a web designer, so I'm so happy that I found something like wix, because it's really kind of like a drag and drop template, and anyone can do it, even if you're not a professional web designer. I switched to wix after about a month or two because I wasn't seeing the search traffic that I wanted from my initial website. I was getting about 2 to 4% of my web traffic from search, and I know that's not enough to get new clients. What I really liked was the SEO optimization. Within one to two months, I was up from that 2 to 4%, all the way up to 25 to 20. I would say that anyone could set up good SEO with wix. You know, all you have to do is come up with some keywords that represent your business, enter them into the little box, click, publish, and you're all set to go. So that was super easy. It had amazing results. Because WIX had such great templates, I was able to create a new website in one to two hours. I actually also have a mobile site, so I have a number of different aspects that I have from wix that I didn't have with my previous website provider.
