What is the ‘3 way’? rd

Most search and social media marketing agencies either deliver consultancy or technology, rarely both, and never in configurations that are suited perfectly to your business’s needs and aspirations.

Greenlight is different. There are no limits. Whatever will work best for you – we’ll recommend it and execute it from inception to delivery. We call this the ‘3rd way’. Where experts meet technology and everything in between. In practice this means that our sole focus is tailoring a solution that will deliver the highest return, in the shortest time frame – based on your reality. The 3rd way means we can overcome every obstacle and meet your every ambition, because the solution we’ll put together will be designed specifically for your business. From a 100% software approach to 100% human application of expertise. This is why our results are the best around and why our clients have cumulatively made over £2bn in new revenue as a direct result of our work.

Are you ready for the 3rd way?

Core se Natural Search • Flexible, bespoke, creative and truly innovative SEO strategies • Unwavering commercial focus • Results guaranteed within 3 months SEO is an ever-changing discipline so you need an agency that has SEO at its roots, in its DNA, and the cumulative experience and resources to stay ahead of the curve.

ervices Paid Media • A 360 degree approach, including paid media, social, display and remarketing • Leading vertical expertise in retail, travel and finance • A focus on driving ROI and volume.

Paid media, incorporating both PPC and display advertising is an optimisation discipline, rather than a commodity. Acknowledging this fact is key to achieving the highest ROI.

The delivery of great search and social media campaigns depends greatly on the effective collection, analysis and management of data. That’s why data services is a core competency for this agency.

Data Services • Analytics set-up, configuration, audit and support services • Econometrics, data mining and business intelligence services • Dashboard design and creation

Group companies • Affordable and dedicated SEO & PPC services for SMEs • Website design and build

We created SearchCatalyst to deliver great SEO, PPC and social media results for SMEs – a group that for years has never had access to the best breed of experts and the results they can deliver.

Santander

In less than 18 months Santander has become the most visible bank in the UK retail banking sector Santander entered the UK retail banking sector in March 2010 after acquiring Bradford & Bingley, Abbey National and Alliance & Leicester.

Goals • Secure page 1 rankings for high volume search terms on Google UK for its 4 core products • Close the online visibility gap with its main competitors • Become the most visible bank in the natural search results for retail banking products in the UK by the end of 2011

Results • Domain Migration – Alliance & Leicester’s domain used to boost the credibility of the Santander domains to improve ranking visibility • Performance Monitoring - Rank monitoring keywords to quickly identify potential areas for growth or possible threats

• Greenlight secured page 1 rankings for 7 of the 8 target terms in February 2011, less than 1 year after the campaigns and the subdomain were created • In June 2011, Santander became the most visible bank for its core 4 products, overtaking its main competitors

Greenlight strategy • Keyword Research – Extensive keyword creation for products that Santander want to gain visibility for. Identification of core keywords to target • Accessibility – Greenlight found a way to work around the SEO inefficiencies of the new domain’s CMS • Link Building – Increased the credibility of the new website through traditional link building activities

Greenlight’s distinct innovation and solid number crunching stood out in our quest to appoint an agency to take us to the top of natural search. We targeted the 8 most competitive terms in online finance including current accounts, loans and savings, so it was important to work with an agency that understood the competitive landscape and how to deliver top 5 page rankings. Greenlight has helped us overcome the challenges of working with a new domain with no relevancy or quality back links, and continues to help Santander’s online presence grow in the UK. I would highly recommend Greenlight to any company wishing to boost its online presence.

Goals

Greenlight strategy

Results

• Increase online sales revenue by 50% • Improve ROI from paid media spend • Improve click through rate • Reduce cost per acquisition

Greenlight developed an array of niche and product specific terms to target purchase-motivated users through paid media. We set up specific landing pages to match these terms, eliminating pre-existing problems such as slow web page load times and multiple pages directing to the same products.

This approach resulted in a vastly simplified customer journey and produced impressive conversion rates and a healthy ROI.

As a result of Greenlight’s in-depth and detail oriented approach, we’ve seen impressive improvements in overall paid media performance. We’re delighted with the impact on our sales figures and have such confidence in our terms and account structure, that we’re rolling out Greenlight’s campaign strategy much further and deeper into our account.

Social Media Educational and thought provoking, Anna’s social media training is not only memorable but actionable. Described by one previous social-phobe as “simply brilliant, can I tweet that?”, Anna’s advice is often repeated months later and even better… implemented!

Sarah Carter actia n c e

One of the best things about Greenlight is that you know you can relax with the knowledge that everything will be taken care of. They were brilliant right from the start, working as an extension to our team. We really weren’t expecting this level of service – Greenlight’s account managers always go the extra mile, even if it means working to short deadlines or over weekends, and the results speak for themselves.

Greenlight has outstanding credentials and so were a natural choice for T.M.Lewin. Greenlight has not only achieved great results in our PPC campaigns both in the UK and abroad, but it has also been able to advise us on industry trends that will have an impact on our future business. We look forward to an ongoing relationship with Greenlight.

Thank you for a very good seminar, the SEO presentation in particular was really good. The facilitator had a good ability to keep the audience engaged and interested. I have recommended it to my colleagues that this was one of the best seminars I have attended.

Outsourcing our SEO for the first time was a big deal for us and putting all your trust into an agency can be pretty daunting. Now we wouldn’t look back – SearchCatalyst helped and advised us every step of the way and established our business in the UK market in less than one month! SearchCatalyst has really exceeded all of our expectations.

Roundtables Our filmed roundtables provide an open environment for debate and discussion on a regular basis. Participants from major brands, including Debenhams, Next, Reiss, Barclays Wealth and Google Finance gathered to discuss what issues they have experienced with search and social within their sectors.

The Greenlight Fashion Roundtable was really interesting for us as a small brand. We gained insight into what larger fashion brands and retailers are doing, as well as what we can do better. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learnt a lot.
