Case Study: Professional Services
Your Expert Digital Consultant in Australia
This case study describes a real engagement. The client's name, profession and location are withheld because their marketing results are commercially sensitive. The work and the outcomes are accurate.
The challenge
- High traffic, no conversion: High organic traffic that was not converting because the site did not match the quality of the firm behind it
- Hidden value proposition: A design that hid the value proposition instead of putting it front and centre
- Buried social proof: Social proof, certifications and experience buried out of view
- Confusing navigation: Navigation that made it hard for prospective clients to understand the services quickly
A specialist PR and media training agency had the rankings. The search engine optimisation was bringing traffic. The problem was what those visitors found when they arrived: a website that undersold the business. Cluttered design, a weak visual hierarchy and a value proposition buried below the fold meant a highly qualified audience was bouncing before it understood what the agency could do.
What Sagar did
Step 1: Redesign around the customer
The brand identity was kept, but the website was redesigned almost completely. Clean lines and a clearer structure replaced the clutter, so the site finally looked like the business it represented.
Step 2: Put the value proposition first
The key value proposition moved front and centre. A new visitor now understood what the agency did within seconds, not after a scavenger hunt.
Step 3: Rebuild navigation
The site navigation was redesigned so visitors could reach the service information quickly. Prospective clients could see the range of services without digging.
Step 4: Surface the proof
Social proof, certifications and experience were moved into view as part of a conversion rate optimisation pass. The evidence that convinced clients to hire the firm was no longer hidden.
Step 5: Protect the rankings
Content was cleaned and optimised throughout the redesign, so the SEO rankings the business had worked for stayed intact while the site got its overhaul.
A note on results
Marketing results vary. These numbers reflect this business, this market and this timeframe, not a guarantee for anyone else. What I promise is the process: honest diagnosis, clear planning, real work and straight reporting.
Read the other five
This is one of six anonymised case studies: retail, trades and services, professional services, healthcare, wellness and manufacturing. Every engagement follows the same path.
The results
- First impression: New visitors got the correct first impression, and the firm was presented as a brand worthy of its achievements.
- Quality of enquiry: The agency began attracting more qualified leads and better-fit clients, because the website finally communicated the level of work the firm actually did.
- Real outcomes: There were no vanity metrics involved: the change showed up in the types of clients the business started talking to.
