The Strategy

Stellar Search worked with rush.co.uk to focus on localising their digital marketing messages around their individual salons. The focus initially was improving the performance of their current PPC accounts to granulise them to local level with bespoke messaging and bidding strategy. In addition to overhaul their current Google Places account to ensure that all of their salons information was up to date and uniform. Once this had been achieved, the focus was on growing their digital coverage through PPC and Display with more generic PPC terms targeted on a UK level without cannibalising their local PPC campaigns, along with targeted Display campaigns through the Google Display Network to target local salons that we just opening to help drive awareness. Stellar Search achieved this by:

1.  Implementing a new, more granular and highly relevant campaign structure for Rush’s PPC campaigns which was broken out on a salon level. By doing so, it meant that Rush were able show different promotional messages for the individual salons and then report back on the number of visitors that were driven in store.
2. Updating all of Rush’s Google Places account to ensure all the individual salons information was up to date and showing in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) and that the messaging was matching that of the PPC ad copy.
