Choosing a Local Partner
The Beauty Academy has long recognised the value and importance of being prominent in Google search results and has invested in Google AdWords paid search for over 10 years.
In 2014, Terry Hadley, Director of The Beauty Academy, decided to find a Google certified partner local to the company’s headquarters in Cambridge.
Terry says: “We had previously worked with a number of large agencies, but felt it was important to have a local partner, someone we could meet with regularly face-to-face.
We met Blaine from Peak Demand and were impressed with his expertise in search engine marketing and his personal approach – taking time to understand our business and our values.”
Increased Traffic & Conversions
Terry says: “Peak Demand soon optimised our Google ad campaigns making full use of the latest features. They also provided a detailed SEO Audit setting out a plan of action to help us improve keyword rankings and increase website traffic.”
For each of the last 3 years we have grown our website traffic and online conversions. We’ve also expanded our brand reach using retargeting, display advertising, paid social advertising.
We work closely with Blaine launching new campaigns, adapting our messaging and making use of the latest digital innovations.”
New Website Launch & Migration
Terry continues: “Earlier this year we recognised the need to replace our existing website with a modern site optimised for mobile. Blaine helped us to document our requirements, find and evaluate a new web agency and ensure that the new site was built with a solid SEO architecture.
Blaine worked closely with our web agency to ensure we had a seamless migration. Since the launch we’ve seen further website traffic growth and a significant increase in our online bookings.”
