ROAS

The Challenge

Sea Island, an exceptional destination fueled by heartfelt hospitality since 1928 and the only resort in the world to achieve four Forbes Five Stars 14 years in a row, needed to maintain performance in 2020 as the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic hit and the travel industry slowed to a halt.

The Process

Given the shifting market, our paid media goals and strategy needed to shift.

Goal 1: Drive future bookings (since people were not yet ready to travel)

  • Shift media dollars from lower funnel to upper funnel, creating awareness to new audiences and staying top of mind to existing
  • Adjust messaging to focus on booking in advance

Goal 2: Capitalize on new audiences

  • Shift geo-targeting to drive radius markets vs fly markets
  • Identify new "rising" audiences over-indexing on bookings such as international travelers that may now be looking for domestic travel, etc.

The Solution

Implementing these strategies and remaining nimble in an ever-changing market resulted in a +7% increase in ROAS in 2020 for this luxury resort.

On One Studios

The Challenge of of Startup Growth

What’s good for the user is good for search. The biggest challenge of the SEO audit for On One Studios (and all companies) is maintaining a customer-focused approach when optimizing.

Every action in the audit must answer the question: how does this help the user on your website? Each tweak needed to embody the core drive of the company.

We came up with a human-centric SEO strategy to guide my approach. The web audit was designed to address three critical issues:

Understanding the company’s core value proposition and drive.

Great tactics mean nothing without a proper guiding strategy. Before I started any optimization, I spoke with management on what constituted the company’s core drives. By understanding their unique selling proposition, I could write copy that reflected their goals.

Addressing website architecture problems with user-centric best practices.

The website needed to make sense to customers. From URL structure to homepage navigation, I needed to make sure each click on the website made it easy to get to a sale.

Identify competitor SEO strategies to implement off-page SEO tactics.

A key pillar of getting a site to rank is the number of backlinks pointing to it. I needed to create a comprehensive, white hat backlink strategy to boost the site’s domain authority. By looking at who our competitors were linked (and linking to), I got a sense of the types of backlinks I was looking for.
