Campaign Highlights: Delivering Results That Matter

Best Use of Search – Fashion

When a client’s website relaunch caused a sharp drop in traffic, we knew immediate action was needed. Our strategy included a technical SEO audit to resolve foundational issues and restore visibility. We also refined key landing pages, introduced engaging new content, and enhanced the site’s user experience to drive results:

• Organic traffic surged, recovering from the initial drop and exceeding previous benchmarks
• Non-branded traffic experienced a remarkable increase
• Competitive keyword rankings soared, securing top positions for highly searched terms

Best Use of Search – Travel/Leisure (SEO)

In the competitive US travel market, we aimed to boost visibility for a client by optimising both commercial and blog content. Our tailored approach included aligning content with high-value keywords and creating engaging articles designed to attract and inform potential customers. The results spoke for themselves:

• First-page keyword rankings increased significantly
• Blog traffic experienced a dramatic 63% year-over-year growth
• Commercially optimised articles significantly boosted user engagement,  establishing the client as a leading authority in the travel industry

Best Use of Search – Travel/Leisure (PPC)

Our work for a luxury travel client focused on driving revenue and profitability through precision targeting and smart automation. Despite challenges like limited data, we delivered:

• An exceptional, record-breaking ROAS of 15.26, setting a new benchmark for profitability
• The highest-ever percentage of new buyers, marking a significant milestone
• Scalable and sustainable growth in customer acquisition while maintaining profitability
