Mercury Windows - How It's Going!

The Key to Search Engine Optimisation for the glazing industry

In this case study we’ll explain how our long-term partnership with Mercury, a glazing specialist, has continued to achieve significant SEO goals over the last 3 years. Through consistent efforts and a strong collaborative relationship, we have delivered a measurable ROI to their business and built on a powerful foundation to achieve ongoing success. Perhaps just as importantly, this case study highlights how a sustained partnership with the right digital agency can unlock increasing benefits over time.

About Mercury

Mercury is a glazing specialist that has grown from being a small Gloucestershire business to one of the leading specialist fabricators of bespoke doors and windows in the UK. Today, it works with a wide range of British builders, contractors, and installers to deliver its range of British-manufactured windows and doors for residential and commercial properties. The brand has a quality-driven ethos, is proud to manufacture in the UK, and has worked tirelessly to build a fantastic reputation in the market since it was established two decades ago.

Mercury's SEO Needs

Although Mercury already had an excellent reputation in the market, and a strong sales pipeline, it realised that it needed to invest in SEO work to optimise its digital presence and to ensure it was ranking favourably – particularly against competitors – for target keywords. However, Mercury had experienced difficulties with a former agency. Sadly, the SEO industry has garnered a bad reputation over the years for taking clients’ money through large retainers and lengthy contracts – but without substantiating work and results. To the detriment of the brand, the agency had even run campaigns that had delivered a negative outcome on SEO (something that can happen if agencies use discredited black-hat, or unethical, SEO techniques. These negative techniques can penalise the website and, in some cases, lead to it being banned entirely).

 

Steve Cross, Mercury’s director said:

 

“We needed an agency we could trust to deliver on our digital marketing as it was an area of the business we needed to outsource. SEO can be difficult to understand and when you don’t trust your agency it feels like you are throwing money away.”

How Lykke Digital Was Able to Help

We knew that the client needed a trustworthy agency that would communicate the intended programme of work, explain the means of delivering it and provide clear, analytical reporting every month on progress and results. In terms of targets, Mercury wanted to invest in a programme of work that would improve the business’s website domain authority and keyword ranking for target keywords.  We were confident that we could deliver on both of those briefs. We pride ourselves on being a highly ethical, transparent and open agency with a friendly and cooperative attitude. We also seek to build up long-term relationships with our clients that unlock further benefits over time, and one of the ways we facilitate these relationships is by explaining what we are doing, and why. SEO has long been shrouded in mystery, perhaps intentionally by some agencies! But the reality is that SEO is a technical and specialist field like any other in digital marketing. Yes, its goalposts change regularly along with Google and other search engine algorithms, but a true SEO professional is constantly learning and evolving to adapt to these changing needs. We are always happy to talk about SEO, to explain it and describe the techniques that we use to achieve intended results -and we do so in a clear, transparent way, without resorting to baffling jargon! By building these clear communication channels, we can begin valuable conversations that really deliver benefits. And we evidence the results of our work at every turn. After all, SEO is an evidence-based discipline, even though it does take time to achieve the maximum results.
