The Challenge
Creative Cables is a dynamic Italian company and the world’s largest supplier of fabric cables. With its head office in Torino, Creative Cables’ marketing team were keen to find a UK digital marketing agency capable of providing a one-stop shop for consultancy, pay per click management and search engine optimisation.
A PPC audit revealed campaigns set up for speed and low maintenance with very few keywords and a Google Shopping campaign set up with a single ad group containing approximately 10,000 products. This meant the quality of traffic was not ideal.
A number of issues were with the Merchant Center feed were quickly identified and resolved and a new Shopping campaign set up with a separate ad group for each product. This approach allows precise sculpting of search traffic ensuring much-improved relevance, CTR and conversion. The search reports were carefully analysed to identify keyword opportunities and new standard search campaigns set up with several thousand long tail keywords each with a unique ad.
The initial SEO strategy includes, extensive link evaluation and Google disavow to improve the link profile, structural changes to the website navigation with 301 redirects, a new content strategy for new and existing products and journalist-written external posts on carefully selected high-authority blogs.
