I needed some advice on marketing my website through google ads and Calum put me in the picture. He gave me loads of his time, even though he is obviously a very busy man. He is skilled and professional at what he does.

All In One Service

SEO and PPC services plus conversion rate optimisation

The graph below shows the actual percentage increase in website sales and revenue from a previous campaign.

We increase traffic through three separate methods: SEO, PPC and CRO. Individually they can have a big impact, but together they can turn your website into a highly effective sales machine.

We specialise in

SEO - Search engine optimisation
PPC - Pay per click Google Ads campaigns
CRO - Conversion rate optimisation

How they work together

SEO and PPC services can work to increase website traffic from organic and paid search in Google. One advantage of running both campaigns at the same time is the ability to increase traffic and sales quickly through ads while the SEO is given time to work. Conversion rate optimisation (CRO) works by using the traffic generated to test different versions of the landing pages to increase the conversion rate and produce more sales from the website.

What is SEO, PPC and CRO?

traffic stats image

SEO, or search engine optimisation, is all about making your website more visible on search engines like Google. This means when people search for keywords related to your business, your website has a better chance of appearing at the top of the results. The goal is to attract organic traffic, visitors who come to your site naturally, without you paying for every click. SEO takes time to work.

PPC, or pay-per-click, is the opposite. With PPC, you create ads that appear at the top of search results, and you pay each time someone clicks on your ad. It’s a fast and effective way to get traffic to your site.

CRO, or conversion rate optimisation, focuses on the traffic that lands on your website. It’s about constantly improving a website to make it easier to use for your customers, so that a higher percentage of your clicks become sales and enquiries.

When you combine SEO and PPC services together with CRO, you get a powerful combination for business growth. SEO and PPC drive traffic, and CRO ensures that traffic converts.

Generating traffic through combined SEO and PPC Services

When it comes to driving traffic to your website, SEO and PPC each have their strengths.

SEO will take time to see results, but once your site is ranking well, the traffic is consistent. It requires ongoing effort, but the results compound over time.

PPC is instant traffic that can bring in sales straight away. It’s faster and more immediate. When you launch a PPC campaign, your ads can be live and driving traffic to your site within minutes.

Combining SEO and PPC services creates a balanced traffic strategy. While SEO works to bring in organic traffic, PPC can fill in the gaps, especially when your site is new or when you're targeting highly competitive keywords that are hard to rank for organically. Data from PPC campaigns can provide valuable insights into which keywords are most effective, which can then be used to refine your SEO strategy.

The interplay between SEO and PPC can also increase your visibility. Having both an organic listing and a paid ad on the same search engine results page (SERP) increases the likelihood of a click. When users see both, it gives an impression that your business is well-established and trustworthy.

Running website tests and experiments

Driving traffic to your site is only half the battle. The next challenge is making sure that traffic turns into meaningful actions, or conversions. This is where CRO comes in.

CRO is all about testing, tweaking, and optimising your website to increase conversions. It uses a scientific approach, running experiments to see what works and what doesn’t.

You might think your website is perfect as it is, but that's highly unlikely. The majority of websites aren't built with a testing methodology in mind, and most of them have very low conversion rates. We often take on clients with sites which only convert 1% of their traffic into sales or leads. We use A/B testing, where we show two different versions of a page to different users to see which performs better. We also run multivariate tests that test several elements at once to see which combination yields the best results.

The data from SEO and PPC can help guide these experiments. For instance, PPC ads can be used to test headlines and copy before using them on landing pages for organic search traffic. If a certain ad copy performs exceptionally well, it might be worth implementing a similar approach for your the organic traffic pages.

The beauty of CRO is that it’s a continuous process. As we learn more about how users interact with the site, we can keep testing and improving. The goal is to make the path from landing on your site to converting as smooth and persuasive as possible. When you've got SEO and PPC services constantly increasing traffic and CRO constantly improving the conversion rate the potential for generating new business expands exponentially.

Increasing conversion rates

Increasing your conversion rate isn't about making your site look good. It’s about understanding what makes your customers tick.

What motivates them? What stops them converting? And how can your website address these effectively? This is where data comes into play.

By analysing data from SEO, PPC, and CRO efforts, we can start to see patterns and trends in user behaviour. Perhaps we notice that a lot of visitors drop off after reaching a certain point on a product page. Or maybe the PPC campaigns reveal that a particular demographic responds better to certain types of messages. This data driven approach lets us tailor your website to better meet the needs of your users.
