GETTING STARTED
The Challenge
The Removals and Storage industry has seen significantly fluctuations led by house prices, interest rates, brexit, covid and even post covid. In response to this Pickfords instructed Global Search Marketing to rapidly recover & increase revenue across its three Markets of Domestic, International and Business.
This led to a challenge as to how best to deploy the resource available, to achieve maximum returns. This included consideration into implementing a full suite Digital Marketing strategy including PPC, SEO, Paid Social, Digital PR and CRO. Initially the SEO channel presented the greatest challenge albeit with the greatest return opportunity for the expenditure pertaining to the website having significant duplication issues and content quality challenges, which resulted in rip-roaring successes across the first 12-months.
Equally impressive were the results from the PPC campaigns, driving sales in peak periods and strong Markets, to maintaining and managing revenue in periods of Market flux.
WHAT WE DID
Our PPC Strategy
Our PPC team developed tailored strategies for each of the International, Domestic and Business Markets, centred on comprehensive Market, Trends and keyword research working closely with the Pickfords’ senior management team.
With this strong foundation, campaigns were configured with consideration to ad copy, assets, attribution models, bidding & conversion strategies and how best to allocate budgets. Significant modelling and forecasting are regular conducted with value input from the Pickfords’ senior team, to maximise the profitability of the campaigns, whilst striving for the highest revenue and returns, as a fine balancing act.
In addition, the intensive work conducted to improve the onsite content significantly improved Quality scores across the campaigns leading to improve cost per click costs achieving noticable efficiencies in ROAS (Return On Ad Spend). CRO recommendations were strongly heeded which further increase the lead rate, ROAS and revenue.
