What we did

Google Ads | Local SEO | Content Marketing

The brief

The Wilkes Partnership are a law firm based in Birmingham and the West Midlands area. They offer a number of different legal services aimed at businesses, individuals, financiers and charities. The Wilkes Partnership approached Digital Ethos to boost their online presence through local seo birmingham for employment-based terms and offer support for their website health.

Our approach

First, we conducted a thorough situation and competitor analysis, using a range of analytics to support our recommendations on how to best optimise their website and improve its structure.

The site was analysed from an overall SEO health perspective, with a number of site-wide on-page and technical SEO issues addressed, boosting their rankings with external back-linking and removing damaging links. This also looked at website speed and UX, allowing users to convert on the site more easily when landed on.

To improve performance in the employment law sector, a thorough content marketing strategy was created. Competitor benchmarking strategies dictated the strategy, which looked at page 1 results for core keywords and content strategies.

To boost Wilkes Rankings, the content strategy outlined existing content audits to undertake as well as creation of new blogs and landing pages based on core keywords. These allowed existing pages to perform better through audited content and new supporting pages and blogs improving the SEO. These pages improved on-page UX which allowed customers to convert more on the pages.

To support the SEO work, a Google ads campaign was run around employment solicitors while Google indexed the changes being made. This drove customers through to a specifically tailored landing page optimised for conversion.

Digital Ethos is a full-service digital marketing agency focusing on Web Design, SEO, PPC Management & Social Media Marketing in Leicester, London, Barnsley, Birmingham, Bristol, Truro and Edinburgh.

The results

The site overhaul allowed year on year traffic be boosted by 23% since working with Digital Ethos and having 6 employment-based keywords move to the first page of the Google Search Results page after previously not ranking at all.

Our first SEO training session with Rafal and Digital Ethos was really informative. Rafal simply explained what SEO is and then tailored the training session to our specific requirements. I learnt loads about SEO and am really looking forward to the next session.

Rafal gave a brilliant one day training session to the team at 2020 Media about how to to get our website SEO in shape. He made it totally relevant to our needs and gave a range of powerful insights into what we strategically need to do. Rafal is not just a highly experienced expert- but a very accomplished trainer too.

I was really struggling against some of the local competition in Leicester and I needed to know why this was happening. Digital Ethos helped me understand that if you can't be seen, you can't sell! They helped my website become visible to the people who mattered to me

After launching my new business, I was concerned about building a site and gaining some online authority. After speaking with Digital Ethos they helped create the perfect website for me and have continued to promote it. They have helped me really get on the map.

Working with other SEO agencies in the past, I was cautious about finding a new agency. However, after meeting Digital Ethos I felt much more comfortable. They had a real personal touch and kept in touch with me regularly. I quickly started to see some results!

After talking with Digital Ethos, their passion and enthusiasm for the industry was clear. They created a really innovative campaign to help me gain more visibility on Google. Over the months they maintained a great communicational standard and helped me understand the results. After a few months, I started to see my website on the first page and got more and more enquiries!

After having some bad experiences with other digital marketing agencies I was almost ready to turn my back on it. However, with Digital Ethos they really turned things around for me. Keeping me in the loop with everything going on, I really got to understand what is happening and how they helped my business to grow.

We've just started work with Digital Ethos and had a social media training session today. The upshot was a much clearer social strategy with some ideas that we can start to action immediately. Hope the next training session is as productive!

I have been with digital ethos for a few months as we had a sudden drop in key word rankings, I had not heard of them and they were not well known in my industry, I decided to go ahead with them as that they spent the time to visit me and understand my concerns.3 months later, and they have got my website back to an excellent position, they take full control of all online management and are transparent with the work they are doing.I would highly recommend them, they have a considerable knowledge and experience and work very hard to give you your desired result.

We approached Digital Ethos over a year ago, after having some bad experiences with other agencies before. It was refreshing to see the energy and enthusiasm of the team. From the first call they seemed to understand our needs and show real interest in our business. And now people can finally find us on Google!

I've seen many people mention honesty in here, but it's true - these guys don't just paint a nice picture with their sales pitch. They will tell you exactly what you can and cannot expect. We used so many agencies before and this seems to be the only one we are going to stick to.

“We first began working with Digital Ethos roughly two years ago following a disappointing relationship with another multi-national agency. Not only were our rankings suffering, but more importantly we had felt that our previous agency were failing in transparently communicating how they were spending the marketing budget that we were entrusting them with. Immediately, after the initial conversations we could see that Digital Ethos were a breath of fresh air. We could feel that they cared about our mission objectives and were committed to formulating an online strategy that worked in parallel with what we were aiming to achieve. On our first website, we went from 0 rankings (positions 1-3) on Google to a place that we now have over 100 across the 5 websites. The results off the back of this were fairly immediate and we started to see a significant increase in enquiries & applications. The return on investment has been clear to see, and most importantly we know exactly where our marketing budget is being spent across our multiple campaigns. The strong working relationship with now share with Digital Ethos has allowed us to keep up with our ambitious growth plans and it’s a relationship we’re looking forward to sharing with them in the future. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to strengthen their local SEO campaign and dominate the rankings in your area.”BILL ZUCKERMAN – CEO – THE LONDON PRESCHOOL

Digital Ethos spent a lot of time getting to know my product and provided me with the best designers. They created a brand theme which filtered through my packaging to my website. Cannot recommend them enough!

Worked with Digital Ethos on a number of projects as a freelancer and can say that the guys are wonderfully professional to work with and provide a great service for their customer base. An innovative approach to design both in web and print with a customer focus.

I just wanted to say thank you, it's not often I feel compelled to leave a review but the chaps at Digital Ethos were just superb. From the initial enquiry through to the finished website & marketing I have been very pleased with all the work done. Alex.

Digital Ethos have been absolute saviours. After working with another company we spent almost a year on google oblivion. They were not very good. After starting to work with these guys, we are now on page 1 of google search! They have really helped and they are very customer oriented. They help all of the members of our team and always find a way to assist in whatever we need done. Very happy with the change 🙂
