Case Study: Costa Vida achieves faster, SEO-optimized multi-location growth with WP Engine

Costa Vida boosts near me search performance 70% with WP Engine

Costa Vida, a growing restaurant chain, needed a high-performance and scalable digital platform to support its many locations, integrate with its ordering system, and improve site performance and SEO. To meet this challenge, digital agency Workhorse partnered with WP Engine to migrate the company from its previous CMS and hosting setup.

Using WP Engine's fully managed WordPress platform, Workhorse rebuilt the site, integrating Yext and Yoast Local SEO for seamless location management and improved search visibility. The solution delivered exceptional results for Costa Vida, including a 100% Core Web Vitals pass rate, a 70% boost in "near me" search performance, and a 33% increase in total users. The optimized site now drives over $14.8 million in annual revenue and supports over 3 million visitors annually.
