    Professional Services Case Study

    The immense competition in London for this sector’s search terms hasn’t stopped us from delivering amazing results for this client.

    From no visibility in the top 100 on Google for any of their sector related search terms in London when we started working with the firm, we have taken them to no.1 on the local map pack and page 1 of the organic search results for a number of keywords, including the holy grail of their main keyword + London.

    In the time we have worked with this firm, we have helped them consistently receive over 56 enquiries every month.

    How we did it

    Having invested heavily in PR and events over the last few years, this professional services firm was now looking for a better return from their marketing budget.

    The firm had been told by the PR agency they worked with, ‘not to bother optimising for London’ because it is ‘too competitive’. Pah, we said! One man’s defeat is another man’s challenge…

    And so, our work commenced.

    We know what needs to happen to get a site ranking, and we were confident the client had their ducks in order ready for growth.

    • 7 established branches across London and Kent
    • Well-respected professional services firm with a solid reputation
    • A marketing plan and budget for growth

    Although this was all great, there were some fundamental areas that we needed to work on before we could start building content that would drive enquiries.

    During the first month, we worked closely with the client to build the vital foundations that underpin a successful SEO strategy.

    • Priority areas for growth explored with the client
    • Objective identified: generate more London enquiries
    • Technical site audit to uncover and resolve any issues
    • Analytics and tracking set up properly to measure lead conversions
    • Local SEO audit
    • Data and research analysed to decipher the most profitable keywords

    Achieving Visibility in London Quickly

    Based on 50 highly relevant search terms, there are around 52,000 Google searches in London every month for this client’s sector.

    This provides a huge opportunity to impact sales and revenue, but it also means there is a large amount of competition, and a lot of other firms appearing in the organic search results were ahead of the game with the optimisation and content on their sites.

    So, over the first few months, our primary goal was to work on the client’s local map pack rankings as this was identified as the quickest first step to helping them gain visibility in London.

    • Local landing page optimisation
    • Enhanced and optimised Google My Business listings
    • Ensured NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency
    • Competitor citation analysis
    • Citation building

    First Milestone = No.3 London Map Pack

    With all of the above ticked off, in the first 3 months of working with this client, we helped them move from no ranking in the top 40, to ranking at no.3 in the local map pack results in London.

    As a result, the client saw a 32% increase in actions (visit your website, request directions, call you) from their local listing.

    Local SEO goes hand in hand with organic SEO, and as a result of the work we carried out in the first 3 months, their organic search traffic also started to make a small increase of 76% YoY.

    Second Milestone = Focus on Organic SEO

    Our next step was to focus on improving the site’s organic SEO ranking – helping to get the site appearing on the first page of Google for the keywords that are being searched by people looking for this firm’s services in London 52,000 times every month.

    As a ‘money or your life’ type website, a Google EAT audit was essential to ensure the site covered Google’s extensive guidelines on demonstrating ‘Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trustworthiness’.

    We then developed an extensive content strategy that focused on consolidating old content, improving the existing site content, and creating new content written specifically to either target content working well for a competitor or to take advantage of a content gap.

    • Google EAT audit
    • Competitor content research
    • Content audit
    • Content strategy
    • Content delivery and optimisation
    • Build site authority

    We now bring in over 56 quality enquiries every month

    As a result of our work, the client is now receiving an average of 56 new enquiries every month from their website.

    We have increased the number of keywords ranking on the first page by 488% with a search volume increase of 620%.

    The site has seen a massive 279% increase in organic traffic, and a whopping 309% increase in new users on the site YoY.

    The firm is now at No.1 of the local map listings for their holy grail ‘keyword London’, which has resulted in a 67% increase in customer actions from their local listing.

    Over the last quarter, their site has been found on local maps by over 2000 website visitors, and on the organic search listings by almost 6000 website visitors.

        Online B2B App Case Study

        A previous agency’s lack of results hasn’t deterred us from achieving this client’s key goal to increase inbound website leads.

        In the first 6 months of working together, we already started to see significant increases to their organic traffic and inbound leads. By the end of the first year, we had dominated the top spots on Google for all of the relevant search terms, increased relevant organic traffic and made a number of cosmetic and performance improvements to the website.

        Most importantly, we achieved their goal and increased inbound leads by 51%.

        Working with Smart Monkey is a pleasure and we have seen a significant uptake in new business enquiries since we began working with them. They took the time to really understand our business, key messages and goals and turned that into a tangible digital marketing strategy to complement our internal marketing efforts. I would highly recommend them to any business looking to boost their online profile.

        Chief Marketing Officer

        How we did it

        Having previously worked with smaller SEO agencies, at the beginning of 2018, our client began working with a full-service digital marketing agency with a brief to increase their inbound leads by the end of the year.

        Despite the additional investment, the firm did not see the growth in inbound that they were expecting, and mid-way through the year, took the decision to find a new agency to support their in-house efforts and help them achieve their goals.

        This client liked our approach and so we were invited to join the team.

        We could see a number of opportunities that would enable us to help the client meet their goals, and we were excited to work with a forward-thinking company with great growth plans.

        • Well-established business with an eminent Board of Directors
        • Longevity in a relatively niche business services market
        • Experienced in-house marketing team
        • A marketing plan and budget for growth

        Otherwise, keep on reading

        During the first few months, we worked closely with the client to build the vital foundations that underpin a successful SEO strategy.

        • Technical site audit to uncover and resolve any issues
        • Analytics and tracking set up properly to measure lead conversions
        • Data and research analysed to decipher the most profitable keywords

        Data and research analysed to decipher the most profitable keywords

        We then developed a content strategy that initially focused on improving the user experience of key landing pages on the site. The site had a lot of great content, but it was split over many pages meaning there were too many pages with thin content – we focused on consolidating the top performing pieces of content and pages with mediocre ranking, to create great quality pages that then boosted the site’s ranking.

        Inbound website leads increased by 51%

        After working with us for only 6 months, we already started to see significant increases to their organic traffic and inbound leads. By the end of the first year working together, inbound leads hit an all-time high and we achieved their goal, increasing inbound leads by 51%.

        Organic traffic has consistently increased by over 100% Year on Year since implementing our SEO and content strategy.

        No.1 rankings have been achieved for high search volume keywords seeing us overtake key competitors in the search results.

        The number of keywords ranking on the first page has increased by 92% with a search volume increase of 97%, and we have increased quality backlinks to the site by 100%.

        We have extended our support to provide international SEO support and have already seen major improvements with organic traffic to the site up over 100% YoY in Australia, 72% in Canada and 49% in America.

        How we helped a local services firm generate 38 leads and 62 online quote enquiries every month

        • Gained top ranking positions
        • 151% increase in organic traffic

          Local Service Provider Case Study

          We initially presented to this client in February, however, they decided to go with a more cost-effective freelancer who had pitched at the same time. In December, the client got back in touch with us as they had received little success.

          The owner works hard to ensure they deliver excellent customer service, which is evident in their many Google Reviews, however, the business lacked a consistent source of enquiries to help it grow. They had a dated website that was not optimised for search and wasn’t easy to update.

          Over 450 inbound leads

          Over the course of the 11 months that we worked with the client, we helped them launch a new website and to gain top position rankings on Google organic and local map listings, for their key search terms in their key locations.

          The client reported a massive increase in Google leads.

          On average, as a result of the increase in visibility on Google, the website now delivers on average 38 new leads per month, and 62 online quote enquiries per month.

          Smart Monkey is great to work with – they know what they are doing and have achieved great organic SEO results for us. We are now coming up in position 1/2/3 for our key search terms. Before they started, we were nowhere to be seen! Thank you, Jamie, Beth and the rest of the team.

            Local Property Company Case Study

            We have worked with this local property company for 3 years and in that time, we have optimised their website so that it delivers a steady stream of quality enquiries our client can rely on.

            Our client has 2 lead generation streams – networking and online enquiries, and over the last 4 months, with networking not possible, the website has continued to keep the business extremely busy.

            Over 15 quality new enquiries every month

            Since working with the client, we helped them launch a new website and have delivered a steady stream of quality content that has helped them to gain top position rankings on Google organic and local map listings in their key locations.

            The client has reported that the phone never stops ringing with new enquiries and on average, the website now delivers over 15 quality new enquiries every month.

            It’s manic at the moment and the phone never seems to stop ringing with enquiries.
