The challenge

María owns Petal & Stem, a flower shop in San Juan. Her Callpage has beautiful arrangement photos and a call button. But she's losing customers to competitors who answer questions online:

• "How do I keep roses alive?" → Google → competitor's blog
• "Wedding flowers San Juan prices" → Google → competitor's wedding page
• "What flowers for a funeral?" → Google → competitor's sympathy guide

María knows the answers. She's answered them a thousand times in person. But her knowledge isn't on the internet — so Google sends her customers elsewhere.

The solution: 15 pages in one day

Using Tenant Websites, María builds a complete website inside her existing Callpage. No new domain. No hosting bill. No developer.

The 15 pages:

🌸 Core business (5 pages)

1. Home (`/web/`) — "San Juan's flower shop for every occasion." Hero image, links to weddings, subscriptions, care guides, and the call button.

1. Wedding Flowers (`/web/weddings`) — Packages from $500 to $5,000. Real wedding photos. Testimonials. "Book a consultation" CTA linking to the call button. This page alone is worth the effort — one wedding booking pays for a year of everything.

1. Sympathy Arrangements (`/web/sympathy`) — A tasteful, compassionate guide. What to send, when to send it, what the different arrangements mean. Written with care, not sales pressure.

1. Subscription Service (`/web/subscriptions`) — Weekly flowers for offices and homes. Three tiers: $40/week (desk bouquet), $75/week (reception arrangement), $150/week (full office). Signup via call button.

1. Corporate Accounts (`/web/corporate`) — Hotels, restaurants, offices. Bulk pricing. Dedicated account manager (María). Case study: "How we do flowers for 3 Old San Juan hotels."

📖 Education — the SEO engine (5 pages)

1. Care Guide: Roses (`/web/care-roses`) — "How to make roses last 2 weeks." Trim stems at 45°, change water every 2 days, keep away from fruit. Ranks #3 on Google for "how to keep roses alive puerto rico" within 2 months.

1. Care Guide: Orchids (`/web/care-orchids`) — The #1 question María gets. Ice cube method: myth or reality? Light, water, repotting. Illustrated with photos.

1. Flower Meanings (`/web/meanings`) — "What does a yellow rose mean?" "Red vs. pink carnations?" This page gets shared on social media constantly. Pure SEO gold.

1. Seasonal: Mother's Day (`/web/mothers-day`) — Updated annually. 2026's trending arrangements, order deadlines, delivery zones. Traffic spikes 400% every May.

1. Seasonal: Valentine's (`/web/valentines`) — Same pattern. "Don't wait until February 13th" — with a countdown and early-bird discount.

🏪 Trust & logistics (5 pages)

1. Our Growers (`/web/growers`) — The farms in Ecuador and Colombia. The supply chain. Why Petal & Stem's flowers last longer (cut to order, cold chain, no warehouse aging).

1. Delivery Areas (`/web/delivery`) — Interactive zone map. San Juan: same-day. Carolina/Bayamón: next-day. Rest of island: 2-day. Fees clearly listed.

1. About Our Florists (`/web/team`) — María + her two designers. Photos. Credentials. "We've done 500+ weddings." Humans, not a faceless shop.

1. FAQ (`/web/faq`) — "Do you deliver on Sundays?" "Can I get peonies in August?" "What's your substitution policy?" Every question ever asked, answered once, ranking forever.

1. Blog: "5 Flowers That Survive Puerto Rico Heat" (`/web/heat-flowers`) — Local SEO masterpiece. Anthuriums, bird of paradise, heliconia, ginger, orchids. Shared 200+ times on Facebook.

The cross-linking web

Every page links to 2–3 others:

• Care Guide: Roses → "Tired of replacing dead roses? Get fresh ones weekly" + "See our rose arrangements for Valentine's"
• Wedding Flowers → "Meet our florists" + "See real weddings" + "Book a consultation"
• Flower Meanings → "Order sympathy arrangements with confidence" + "Subscribe for weekly meanings in your inbox"
• FAQ → links to every relevant page ("See our delivery areas for timing")

This is the same pattern as the consulting website — where the Swimming page links to Discipline, which links to Team Building. Personal → professional → commercial.

What María learned

1. Start with what you know. The care guides were easiest — she'd answered those questions a thousand times.
2. Photos sell. The wedding page with real photos converts 3x better than the one with stock images.
3. Cross-link everything. The subscription page gets 40% of its traffic from care guide links.
4. Update seasonally. Mother's Day and Valentine's pages drive massive spikes — plan ahead.
5. The call button is the CTA. Every page ends with "Questions? Call us." The website educates; the phone call closes.
