Case Studies

Client: McNally Smith College of Music.

Challenge: The college wanted a local agency who would be more responsive to their calls and questions. They hoped to increase leads from their PPC pay-per-click efforts, as well as optimize the budget. While the current website was heavily optimized for natural search, the college was concerned that no optimization was planned for an upcoming launch of the redesigned website, and wished to keep or increase leads from natural search.

Results:
Pay-per-click advertising.
Heavy optimization, new campaigns and adgroups, keyword management and new search engine networks resulted in strong success for the College.

  • 68% reduction in cost-per-lead from paid search (PPC).
  • 63% rise in total leads from PPC within the same budget.

Natural search engine optimization.
We performed careful keyword research on most valuable keywords, performed detailed keyword-to-page assignment, wrote focused meta content and worked with the staff on page content. We paid detailed attention to url structure, and developed a careful linking strategy for clean-up and adding links.

  • 98% rise in leads from NON-BRANDED natural search.
  • 7% rise in total traffic from natural search (from 23% to 30%).
