The Client.
Acclaim driving are a nationwide driving school, with over 35 years of experience teaching learners to drive and training new driving instructors.
The Challenge.
Acclaim Driving partnered with Digital Ethos in 2019 in order to recover from a poor website migration, organic traffic had taken a huge hit and was dropping by 60% each month. 248 Page 1 keywords were lost totalling in a loss of 81480 search volume / monthly. Digital Ethos supported the rebuild of strong SEO foundations in order to gain rankings over and above where Acclaim was pre-migration.
The Approach.
We created a comprehensive SEO strategy, focusing initially on technical SEO, on-site SEO and content production to recover lost rankings. We started by fixing existing issues and tackling technical optimisation. We then shifted our priorities to building landing pages, content & blogs around question-based variations. Our content strategy allows us to create an ‘information centre’ whereby we continually add FAQ content that is topical and growing in search trend, this means that we can be both proactive and reactive to search queries.
The PPC campaign included a granular campaign structure based on locations and postcodes, allowing us to literally turn up or turn down the tap on potential enquiries across the UK. Our city specific campaigns and ads give instant exposure for new driving instructors, bridging the gap whilst the location pages gained rankings across the SEO campaign.
Paid social predominantly focussed on remarketing and lookalike audiences, with the main objective of increasing driving instructor signups. We remain creative and flexible around key seasons, promoting gift vouchers around Chirstmas holidays etc. We continue to work with Acclaim Driving School very closely and have helped drive a huge amount of traffic, leads and revenue through their website.
