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 after working with us.
We came in needing better visibility, but HGM also fixed the way we explained our offer. The reports were easy to read, the priorities were clear, and the work felt like it was connected to sales, not just traffic.
Elena RoystonE-commerce Brand LeadHGM did not just send us another SEO checklist. They found the weak points in our site, explained them in plain English, and helped us prioritise the fixes that actually affected enquiries. The work felt calm, organised, and commercially sensible.
Haris WhitcombeLeading B2B Business Owner - UKHGM helped us turn a messy service offering into pages that customers could actually understand. The copy became sharper, the structure made more sense, and our team finally had a roadmap we could follow.
Ines VarmaManaging Partner, Growth ConsultancyWhat stood out was the attention to how real buyers move through the site. They challenged vague sections, tightened the calls to action, and made the whole experience feel more credible without making it sound forced.
Marwan EllisDirector, Dubai Services CompanyWe had worked with agencies before, but this was the first time the website, content, and tracking were treated as one system. HGM made the next steps obvious, and the quality of conversations from the site improved quickly.
Nadia KesslerNew York Based Legal FirmThe most useful part was how direct the recommendations were. No bloated presentation, no vanity reporting, just a clear view of what was holding back our pages and what needed to change first.
