Client Challenge

As competition grew, some started copying the company’s original name “Pardon Services Canada”, their website, and business model. The company was struggling to keep up with the competitor’s aggressive behaviour and it was losing valuable market share it acquired early on.

Our Digital Marketing Strategy

In order to regain the market share AllCleared lost and to overtake their competitors, we focused on a comprehensive digital marketing campaign as follows:

SEO

We explored competition, content gaps, and keyword research to guide our suggestions, and propose content that needed development. We also implemented website transition strategies in order to ensure that the website maintained its current SEO value/PageRank and ranked well organically.

Paid Campaigns

We created various paid campaigns including for Google Ads and Bing, as well as the social media sites Instagram and Facebook to raise awareness to their ideal audience in select markets.

New Website Launch

With the new business name launch, we developed a new website and ensured the transition to the new version progressed smoothly. We ran usability tests with third-party tools to see how users were interacting with the previous page to help create a new redesign meeting users’ needs.

Tracking

We implemented several tracking tools in order to understand visitor behaviour and provide insightful reports on a monthly basis. We streamlined the tracking and conversion funnels so that we could monitor the web performance more effectively.

Paid Results

We saw a 175% increase of paid traffic with a decreased budget of 1.27%, meaning that we were able to stretch their budget a lot further and get them more bang for their bucks. This resulted in a 64% increase in new leads with a 40% lower cost per acquisition. Paid campaigns became their #1 source of leads and a big success.
