The UK’s leading independent provider of direct cremation — Pure Cremation — was already working on their brand awareness when they got in touch with us in November 2019.
Our client strived to double their sales on an annual basis. The two major goals related to their digital marketing were to improve the overall user experience on their website and gain more traffic. From all the channels Pure Cremation runs, they trusted us to:
Their website had been recently renewed when we started with SEO audits, competitor, and buyer persona research. The analysis showed why they were lagging behind their competitors organically, so we crafted a custom-tailored digital strategy that combined SEO with Content. Achieving top positions in the SERPs was soon to follow. Our ongoing work also included main nav restructuring and suggestions to improve CRO.
As a next step, we worked closely with their developer team to fix website issues and significantly improve page speed. The website was fully prepared for the upcoming Page experience update in Google’s algorithm and was one of the winners in their niche.
We started executing a new content strategy, supporting their core topics. Poor blog structure and content gaps prevented our client from getting the desired results. By fixing multiple cannibalization issues, optimizing old blog posts, and posting fresh content, their blog recovered rankings and is showing top of the SERP for informational and transactional queries.
With relentless SEO and content efforts, Pure Cremation gained momentum, outshining competitors. Digital triumphs complemented their offline channels, propelling them towards unprecedented growth in just two years.
Pure Cremation has 4x more monthly sales compared to the previous year.
Pure Cremation’s website visitors tripled in the last 16 months.
Organic traffic refers to all the visitors who arrive at the website through search without the influence of paid ads. It includes both the non-branded and branded terms. Pure Cremation’s 3x increase in organic traffic means that the website is now attracting three times as many visitors as before through its strong presence in search engine results.
Non-branded organic traffic refers to the visitors that come to a website through search, using general industry-related or topic-related keywords rather than the brand’s name.
If a website ranks well for non-branded keywords, it suggests that the website’s content is relevant and valuable to a broader audience.
