About RDB Now
RDB Now is a recruitment software company providing a next generation candidate management system. As one of the fastest growing products in its category, RDB has become a leading provider of recruitment software for agencies and organisations of all sizes.
The challenge
As a cloud based service, most of RDB Now's potential clients were searching online, so the majority of new business needed to come through digital channels. The previous website performed poorly and carried a long list of technical errors, all of which held back the business's online presence. An audit showed RDB Now was competing in a highly competitive market with a huge upside available through the right execution of digital marketing.
What we did
- Planned and scheduled the first three month strategy after the initial research and audit
- Redesigned the website and fixed every technical SEO error
- Optimised the major landing pages around strategically chosen search terms, with ranking improvements landing almost instantly
- Combined SEO, Google Ads and content marketing in one focused campaign
- Prioritised user experience and conversion rate optimisation as traffic grew
Our results
There were substantial ranking improvements over the first three months of the campaign, with search visibility improving significantly.
Within five months the campaign had reached page one for some of the most competitive search terms in the industry, lifting organic traffic by 211%.
A high level user experience audit then guided further adjustments to how visitors interact with the site, and online conversions increased by 86%.
