Results were immediate and business changing. Within 6 weeks, BudgetNet had achieved 94 top 3 rankings for high intent local search queries.
BudgetNet had established themselves as a highly respected provider of NDIS plan management services over their short history.
Their growth had been on the back of word of mouth, referrals and paid search.
With more and more competition entering the market, however, they had noticed their cost per click and return on investment on paid search campaigns get slowly chipped away.
They knew that longer term, they needed an SEO strategy in place to protect their online presence in the market.
With 12 months of paid search data in their Google Ads account already, Pathfinder conducted a deep dive analysis of BudgetNet’s most profitable keywords.
What quickly became apparent was that there was no single ‘head term’ driving the bulk of traffic, instead, local search intent keywords were driving the bulk of their enquiries.
With this in mind, building highly-targeted local intent content as scale was identified as a key success factor.
Pathfinder implemented a highly-scalable solution within BudgetNet’s wordpress site to handle implementation and 200+ landing pages were created.
Results were immediate and business changing. Within 6 weeks, BudgetNet had achieved 94 top 3 rankings for high intent local search queries.

It was an eight-week engagement to conduct an SEO audit for a section of the client's site. I managed an offshore resource supporting the engagement and used an in-house design specialist to product the final report deliverable for the client. I conducted a range of interviews with the major members of the marketing team to understand internal processes, workflows, marketing persona development and marketing research.
In 2020 I took on paid media, when I took over we were running traffic campaigns, we had not installed tracking on our menu site and couldn't run conversion campaigns. I first worked to set up proper tracking and pass that data to our facebook account. Next I built out a strategy and ran it past our CEO. In the next 3 months I took our roas from .5x to an average of 6x.
I have worked for Pei Wei since 2018 as a lead creative. Working on every creative touch point for the brand. Including email, website, billboards, campaigns, packaging, menus, in-store signage etc..
