Challenge

When we started work with Home & Roost their PPC was struggling with high costs and lower than expected returns. Their website SEO was also experiencing issues with page speed, lack of content and poor keyword targeting. We overhauled their digital marketing strategy and rebuilt their website, delivering a significant return on investment.

Google Ads and conversion rate optimisation

After an initial review of Home & Roost’s existing Google Ads account we realised that we needed to rebuild their campaigns from the ground up. Within a few months we were able to demonstrate that we had increased their revenue from PPC visitors by more than 146%. We achieved this by reducing their CPC (Cost Per Click) by 52% and increasing their PPC eCommerce conversion rate by 50%.

“Working with the team at Plug & Play has been a pleasure, their professional and positive attitude to whatever you throw at them is refreshing and from past experience most welcome. P&P’s desire to understand our business from the start of our relationship has enabled us to grow into new areas of the market we hadn’t considered before.

We see Plug and Play as part of our business family rather than an agency we use and look forward to the future as we go from strength to strength.”

Improving display advertising

When we initially took control of the Home & Roost display advertising it was struggling with high costs, low click volume and poor audience targeting.

Following our work, year on year impressions were up more than 13%, clicks grew by more than 874% and the click through rate was up by about 758%. All of this was achieved with a negligible increase in the budget.

SEO optimised

We helped Home and Roost improve their rankings by targeting valuable organic keywords that would drive sales. We assigned a keyword focus for each page and generated new engaging content. We created product page content to encourage search engine rankings and drive conversions.
