Strategy
We connected SEO audits, keyword research, website content updates, and Google Ads structure into one search roadmap.
Impact
32% lower Google Ads cost per lead, 49% more organic enquiries, and 18 local and national keywords improved.

The decisions, fixes, and execution behind the result.
Who Was the Client?
A small business seeking better online visibility through local SEO, national SEO, and Google Ads on a controlled budget.
What Was the Challenge?
The business needed search growth but could not afford wasted clicks or months of unfocused SEO activity. Website content needed optimization, rankings needed movement, and Google Ads had to stay tight.
What Was the Strategy?
We started with an SEO audit and keyword map, then grouped terms by local, national, and paid-search intent. Website content was updated around priority terms while Google Ads campaigns were structured around the highest-intent searches.
What Were the Results?
- Local and national SEO priorities clarified
- Google Ads spend focused on high-intent keyword groups
- Website content updated from the same search map
- Reporting aligned around traffic, rankings, and qualified enquiries
Impact Metrics
- 32% reduction in Google Ads cost per lead
- 49% increase in organic enquiries
- 18 target keywords improved across local and national SEO
- 24% higher landing-page conversion rate
Why Did This Work?
SEO and Google Ads work better together when paid search validates demand and SEO improves the long-term cost structure.

Questions this case study can help answer.
What was the main constraint in this SEO and Google Ads case study?
SEO and Google Ads were being managed separately, making budget decisions and search visibility harder to control.
What work did HGM focus on first?
We connected SEO audits, keyword research, website content updates, and Google Ads structure into one search roadmap.
Can this result be guaranteed for another business?
No. This case study shows what changed in one context. Results depend on the starting website, market, competition, tracking, offer quality, implementation speed, and the buyer journey.
Is this case relevant for other general business businesses?
It can be useful as a pattern, but the right plan still depends on the specific market, service mix, proof assets, conversion path, and growth constraint for each business.
What clients say once the work is live.
Anonymised client feedback from businesses that needed clearer priorities, sharper pages, and work tied to actual enquiries.
We thought the issue was just traffic. HGM showed us that our product pages were not explaining the offer clearly enough. The changes were practical, the reporting was easy to follow, and the enquiries we got afterwards were a better fit.

We had a long list of SEO tasks and no idea what mattered first. HGM helped us sort the technical issues from the things that were actually stopping people from contacting us. It felt much more useful than another generic audit.

Our services made sense to us internally, but they were confusing on the website. HGM helped us split the pages properly, rewrite the vague sections, and make the next step clearer for visitors. The site finally felt easier to explain.

They did not try to rewrite everything for the sake of it. They pointed out where buyers were likely getting stuck, tightened the calls to action, and made the page feel more trustworthy without making it sound like a sales script.

We had separate people looking at content, tracking, and the website, but no one was joining it up. HGM looked at the whole path and gave us a clear order of fixes. The conversations from the site became easier to qualify.

The most useful part was the directness. We did not need a long presentation full of charts; we needed to know why the pages were not converting and what to fix first. That is what we got.
