SMART Balustrades

We started by conducting thorough research across their website. Their website was a total of 7 pages and didn’t accurately reflect the offering that SMART could provide. They didn’t rank for any keywords other than their brand name which was only getting very small amounts of traffic.

Through auditing their website and conducting competitor analysis, we knew that a complete restructure was needed to allow for growth, with a focus on CRO. We discovered high value keywords that weren’t present on their website and created a brand new sitemap that would support the growth of their valuable keywords. 

With the data on hand we decided that it was important to get the website into a state where it was able to convert customers before pumping the budget into PPC activity. We created a brand new sitemap and landing page wireframes and put a content strategy in place to support their core products and services. 

We looked for low competition keywords and created a rigid backlink strategy to help them to boost their domain authority. We also created a blog schedule to post high value content to the website and assist with our internal linking strategy. 

The strategy ended up spanning across SEO and PPC, with SMART Balustrades taking on organic social media in-house to support our on-going efforts.

Once the strategy had been decided, SMART Balustrades development team got started building our new landing page templates. We wrote new pages for all their core products, as well as separate pages to focus on long-tail keywords. 

We asked their engineers to take as many photos of their work as possible to allow the website to really showcase the quality of the work being provided. We then replaced the stock images currently used on the website with real work photos which made the website feel more genuine. 

Once the new landing pages had gone live on the website we turned our focus to continued optimisation, on-going blogs and ramping up efforts through PPC.

We implemented lots of new tracking including call tracking through CallRail and Live Chat. This gave users as many avenues as possible to get in touch with the SMART Balustrades team. We started splitting PPC campaigns by local and national audiences, with local jobs being more profitable. This way we could amend ad copy and budgets to suit the desired audiences, increasing ROI. 

As soon as the new landing pages had gone live, we saw results within 1 month. In that month organic website traffic more than doubled and with PPC running alongside it overall website sessions increased by 195%. 

We worked closely with David, their Managing Director, to track enquiries, sales and profitability and adapted our strategies accordingly.

Despite the economic pressures on the construction industry over the past 12 months, SMART Balustrades have continued to see growth in enquiries and sales from their digital marketing activities.
