Our Solution

DigiGround created a new WordPress website which was user friendly, had a modern design and was designed with the conversion goal in mind. We recognised they were in a particularly competitive market and therefore should introduce a strong SEO plan to help them rank against their competitors.

Once the website would be created, we suggested a CRO plan to monitor user flow and make sure the goals of the website were being met and finally, we recommended PPC advertising support with more transparency on strategy, decision making and reporting.

The Challenge

Sports Focus came to DigiGround for help to expand their business, which had grown to a great level but had since plateaued. The Sydney physio team had not updated their website for a long period of time to meet modern internet and mobile standards. They were utilising a third-party agency to manage their pay-per-click (PPC), search engine optimisation (SEO) and website maintenance. One thing they were insistent on was they want an advertising agency in Sydney.

There was little to no transparency from the third-party providers with regards to success in campaigns or steps taken during each billing cycle. There was also no management of conversion rate optimisation (CRO). Sports Focus Physiotherapy were seeking a company to update their website, improve conversions, provide successful PPC and search engine marketing (SEM) campaigns and assist in growing their digital presence and conversions.

Strategy

DigiGround started by auditing their current website and taking note of the website’s performance and areas for improvement. We decided that we would completely redesign their website to give it fresh branding, improve call-to-action (CTA) and enhance the user’s experience.DigiGround worked with Sports Focus to design and build a WordPress website capable of managing all their content, giving web admins full control over their message and image. Bookings and enquiries are tracked and managed in the website backend system. The Sports Focus website development project continues into 2019 with a planned integration of sub-sites and other business offerings and systems.

The Result

We worked closely with Sports Focus throughout the whole process, from concept to design to development. We brought the website design up to modern standards and made it easier for users to find services, physios and contact details. Our developers ensured that the CMS was easy to navigate, so that Sports Focus could manage the pages and bookings themselves. The result was a clean interface with strong CTA, overcoming the challenges of the complex content.

Strategy

We adopted a dual approach to meet the objectives. We ran PPC advertising campaigns for each of the Sports Focus locations to increase demand for bookings and boost brand awareness. Our aim was to get more customers calling Sports Focus through their SEM ads.

In parallel, we conducted SEO on the website to boost Sports Focus’ presence in search engine results. We conducted research into the industry and their target audience to determine the best keywords to target. We then ensured that all the site’s content was optimised to rank for these keywords. We conducted weekly SEO maintenance to monitor how the website was performing.

We also ran CRO heatmapping to determine if the website layout was optimised for conversions. Using the data gathered, we would make monthly adjustments to the website based on what visitors were looking for the most.

Additionally, we setup a management reporting system in Google Analytics to track conversions and awareness from the above marketing activities, and the associated organic search, direct and email marketing channels.

Social Media
Management

Objective

Sports Focus came to DigiGround for help in building their brand awareness and growing their website traffic further. They recognised that there was more they could do to improve their site ranking.

Strategy

DigiGround suggested that Sports Focus should begin regular social media posting and blog writing, as these activities play a role in SEO. Unfortunately, Sports Focus didn’t have the time and resources to manage their social media accounts on a daily basis, nor did they have the resources to produce regular blog content.

The best course of action was to give DigiGround control over the Sports Focus social media and blog. DigiGround started producing social media posts for their LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter pages and wrote weekly blogs to be published on the website. This would give Sports Focus more backlinks to their website and more dynamic content, boosting their site’s authority in search engine results.

Social Media Management

The Result

Since taking over social media management, Sports Focus’ social media traffic has grown by over 450%. Contributed social conversions have grown by 62.50% and sessions via social referral has increased by 444.55%. The increase in social media traffic has boosted the SEO, growing Sports Focus’ average ranking position from 17 before we started management, to 10 at the time of writing. Their website ranking and traffic trends continue to grow every month.
