Anchoring Leads,
Increasing Engagement

When our client’s website management was neglected for over a year, their business growth and development suffered.

The website wasn’t dealt with accordingly after losing a key member – no updates, no activity to hone qualified leads, no traction, no conversions.

Leads and dollars were being wasted due to the underutilisation of AdWords that weren’t driving qualified traffic to their website – a platform that they were spending a significant budget on.

To bring the website back on track and secure those leads, we implemented key strategies and systems to increase overall engagement.
