CASE STUDIES

Real results for real local businesses

Nice websites are easy to show off. Enquiries are harder. Here’s what the work has actually done for some of the businesses we look after, with the numbers taken straight from their Google Ads and Search Console accounts.

GOOGLE ADS // ENGINEERING

WSC Engineering: 139 enquiries at £6.72 each

WSC Engineering is a specialist engine machine shop in Rugby, doing everything from cylinder head work to full race engine builds. It’s a niche service, and the right customers are spread right across the country, so the ads had to find enthusiasts and trade buyers without wasting money on people looking for a quick service.

We set up a Performance Max campaign around their real workshop photos and the jobs they actually want: engine builds, head porting, boring and honing. Calls, emails and enquiry forms are all tracked, so every pound can be traced back to a conversation.

  • 139 tracked enquiries since launch
  • 84 phone calls, 34 emails and 21 enquiry forms or callback requests
  • £6.72 average cost per enquiry on a £2 a day budget

GOOGLE ADS // AUTOMOTIVE

Studio PPF: cost per enquiry down from £80.89 to £11.40

Studio PPF fits paint protection film to supercars and prestige cars, and runs Studio Car Storage alongside it. When we took over the search campaign, enquiries were costing over £80 each and the ads weren’t showing for the searches that mattered.

We rebuilt the keywords around what owners actually type, rewrote the ads, cut the wasted spend and added proper conversion tracking. We kept ‘wrap’ searches in, because plenty of owners call PPF a wrap. Then we built a separate campaign for the storage side.

  • Cost per enquiry down 86%, from £80.89 to £11.40 six months later
  • Click-through rate more than doubled, from 1.4% to 3.1%
  • 37 further enquiries for the car storage business

WEBSITE + GOOGLE ADS // GEARBOXES

Classic to Current: a new website and enquiries from week one

Classic to Current Transmissions rebuilds automatic and DSG gearboxes in Leek. Most of their customers have just been quoted thousands for a new gearbox by a main dealer, so the message had to be simple: we repair the fault instead of replacing the whole unit.

We built them a new website with a page for each type of gearbox, then launched a Performance Max campaign written in their words, using their own workshop photos and logo.

  • 17 enquiries in the first six weeks, at £11.65 each
  • 4.6% click-through rate on a budget under £6 a day
  • Ads, website and tracking all set up by us in one go

GOOGLE ADS // HOME IMPROVEMENT

Sure Seal Windows: 62 enquiries from one door offer

Sure Seal Windows fits uPVC windows and doors across Stoke-on-Trent. They had a strong offer, a new front door fully fitted from £490, but nobody outside their existing customers knew about it.

We built search ads around that offer, sent people to a page made just for it, and added Performance Max and Demand Gen campaigns so the doors show up on YouTube, Gmail and Discover too.

  • 62 enquiries from search ads at £19.27 each
  • 6.6% click-through rate on search
  • A further 15 enquiries from Performance Max

GOOGLE ADS // SURFACING

GW Surfacing: 17,000 clicks on £5 a day

GW Surfacing & Groundworks lays tarmac drives, block paving and car parks around Stoke-on-Trent. Their budget is small, so every pound has to work hard.

We built a Performance Max campaign around their best finished jobs, a ‘no upfront payment’ message and a WhatsApp button, because that’s how most homeowners like to send a photo of their drive.

  • Over 17,000 clicks to the website on a £5 a day budget
  • 750 tracked enquiry actions, from calls and forms to WhatsApp chats
  • About £2.64 per enquiry action

Google Search Console results for a skip hire company website
SEO + WEBSITE // SKIP HIRE

DP Group: over 4,000 clicks from Google in three months

DP Group runs skip hire across Stoke-on-Trent. We built their website with online skip booking, then looked after the SEO so it shows up for the searches that turn into bookings.

The site now sits on the first page for ‘skip hire Stoke on Trent’, and that one search alone sent 590 visitors in the last three months. Their online shop does the rest, with Google Ads bringing in £13.70 for every £1 spent.

  • 4,030 clicks and 193,000 appearances in Google in three months
  • Top three for every search for their name
  • Online bookings taken around the clock

Local landing page for a pest control company website
LOCAL SERVICES ADS + SEO // PEST CONTROL

Town & Country Pest Control: 37 jobs in a month at £7.77 each

Town & Country Pest Control is based in Leek and covers Staffordshire, Derbyshire and Cheshire. We built their website with a page for each town they cover, and we run their Google Local Services Ads, the listings right at the top of Google where customers ring or message the business directly.

Someone with wasps or rats wants help today, so being first on the page matters. The ads sit above the normal search results most of the time, and the town pages and pest guides pick up the searches the ads don’t.

  • 37 paid leads in the last 30 days at about £7.77 each: 23 calls and 14 messages
  • 880 calls and messages through Local Services Ads so far
  • Shown above the normal search results 83% of the time
  • 134,000 appearances in Google in three months, and top five for ‘pest control Macclesfield’ and ‘pest control Ashbourne’
