The Brief
The brief was simple, to optimise the existing website to rank better for key drainage search terms, to drive organic enquiries alongside their paid ads programme. Like many drainage and plumbing companies, appearing on Google search at that crucial moment when a potential client has a problem to solve, is the lifeblood of their business, providing much needed leads.
Mixed Success Initially
After the initial work of establishing a range of over 200 keywords to monitor, including working out which areas to track these keywords, the website was worked on steadily to make it rank better. Although considerable progress was made, the improvement was tending to plateau. On top of this, the existing website developer was slow to respond to fixes that were needed, adding to the urgency to find a different strategy.
Website Rebuild
UClimb proposed a simple website rebuild, using a tried and tested combination of WordPress CMS, lightweight Hello Elementor theme for fast page loading speeds, and the popular Elementor page builder for ease of future editing. This combination gave the client a long-term platform free from the existing developer restrictions. The details were agreed and the website was rapidly rebuilt in around 4 weeks. To maximise Core Web Vital scores further, we helped the client select a modern cloud-based fast hosting package based on our broad experience of working with a wide variety of website hosting companies.
Ranking Results
Within a short space of time it was clear that progress was being made again. Page 1 ranking results jumped up, and the increase in organic search traffic and enquiries followed.
Client Review
How Much Does Drain Unblocking SEO Cost?
Every drainage company is different, so the initial step is usually to do an SEO audit to help create an SEO strategy that we can then put a price to. In this case, the website rebuild was under £3000, and the ongoing SEO and content creation work was done with a tailored SEO package that sat somewhere between our Silver and Gold SEO packages. PPC was handled by a separate agency in this instance, with whom we collaborated closely throughout, joining them on client zoom meetings and sharing data freely.
