Success Stories: How Businesses in Georgia Find Clients Through Madloba
The best argument for being in the directory isn't our words - it's the experience of those who've already gone through it. Below are six stories from different business categories across Georgia.
Manicure Courses, Tbilisi
A manicure instructor in Tbilisi started running her own courses, but enrollment was slow. Almost no one knew about the courses — finding students through social media ads took a lot of time and produced unpredictable results.
We published the course information in the Madloba catalog with a detailed description of the program, schedule, and learning format. We added reviews from former graduates. We also created listings on Google Maps and Yandex Maps with the address of the training location.
In three months, enrollment grew by more than 150%. The instructor filled several upcoming groups in advance and started planning the expansion of her school.
Manicure Salon, Batumi
The salon opened and worked for almost a year without a stable flow of new clients. The owner relied on word of mouth, but revenue did not grow.
We added the salon to the Madloba catalog: prepared high-quality photos and filled in the listing in detail — services, prices, specialists, and atmosphere. At the same time, we created a Google Maps listing. We also connected Yandex Maps — the owner initially considered it unnecessary, but agreed to test it.
After a few months, the flow of clients grew by 230% compared with the previous period. Yandex Maps turned out to be unexpectedly effective: Russian-speaking tourists, of whom there are many in Batumi, started coming from there.
Coffee Shop, Tbilisi
A small coffee shop opened in the center of Tbilisi, but the competition turned out to be high. Passersby came in by chance, while many people did not know the coffee shop existed.
We created a listing in the Madloba catalog with atmospheric photos and a menu description. We activated premium placement — the coffee shop began appearing in top positions for searches such as “coffee,” “cafe in Tbilisi,” and “coffee shop nearby.” We also set up geolocation on Google Maps and Yandex Maps with a description of key features — coffee varieties, a dessert corner, and the atmosphere.
In two months, revenue grew by 60%. Regular guests appeared, and they found out about the coffee shop specifically through Madloba.
Hookah Bar, Tbilisi
A hookah bar in an old district of Tbilisi could not stand out among dozens of similar venues. The owner was confident in the uniqueness of the place, but that alone did not bring in new clients.
We listed the bar on Madloba with an emphasis on atmosphere: interior photos, event schedule, and a description of its special features. We also worked separately on Yandex Maps — many tourists from CIS countries search for hookah places there. A Google Maps listing was created as well.
In six months, the client base almost doubled. The bar became a point of attraction for tourists and young residents of Tbilisi.
Dental Clinic, Tbilisi
A private dental clinic had been operating for several years and already had regular patients, but wanted to reach a Russian-speaking audience — tourists and relocants who search for a Russian-speaking dentist and trust Russian-language reviews.
We added the clinic to the Madloba catalog with a detailed Russian-language description of services: treatment areas, equipment, and information about doctors. We collected the first Russian-language reviews from patients. We created a Yandex Maps listing — a key channel for Russian-speaking audiences looking for medical services in Georgia. Google Maps was also improved in parallel.
Three months after placement, the clinic began receiving stable inquiries from Russian-speaking patients — tourists and families who had moved to Tbilisi. The share of new patients from this segment grew from zero to a noticeable part of appointments.
Legal Firm, Batumi
A legal firm in Batumi specialized in helping foreigners: residence permits, real estate purchases, and business registration. Clients were found through acquaintances and forums — unpredictably and slowly.
We listed the firm in the Madloba catalog with a detailed description of services in Russian and English. We emphasized the specialization — support for foreigners and non-residents. We created a Yandex Maps listing, since potential clients from Russia and CIS countries often search for lawyers there. Google Maps was also improved to reach an international audience.
In the first two months, the number of incoming inquiries through online channels tripled. A significant share of new clients said they found the firm through Madloba or Yandex Maps.
