The video just below on the right, narrated by David Walliams is one of TrustATrader’s first TV advertisements which was featured on ITV. The advert promotes TrustATrader’s services and explains how finding a trusted tradesperson can be helpful for any job around the home. Using a rogue trader could be devastating for your home too!

The Brief...

TrustATrader wanted to increase its overall brand experience, helping to push the company to the next level. This included;

  • Continued organic growth from search engines
  • Increase its brand awareness and reputation
  • Support and grow its social media profiles

The Strategy

Taking an established brand and improving statistics is no easy feat. With such a large challenge ahead of us, we put together a full-scale strategy, which ensured that every base was covered. To sum this up, we worked on the following:

Search Engine Optimisation

Ensuring each trade is showcased organically is key to organic growth. Our team put together a solid strategy that focused not only on page optimisation but authority building through effective link building also.

We also supported the new website which was recently launched, focusing on high end technical SEO elements to make sure the website was future proof. What have you done? We ensured that every page was index-able and linked internally so that the authority the website already had, would filter down to deeper pages.

Social Media

Creating bespoke content across a range of social platforms has helped grow the profiles and TrustATrader’s overall brand awareness, with a 47% rise in followers. We have grown engagements and impression rates by giving users an insight into TrustATrader. We always ensure that the communities we manage grow in a nice and friendly environment.
