The Smile Centre UK Case Study
The Client
Barrie Semp, the owner of The Smile Centre, has been a client of I-COM since 2004. Barrie’s focus for every client is on quality, achieving the highest standards possible and creating the best possible fit for dentures. Barrie uses the latest technology and modern denture manufacturing techniques and has built his reputation on providing the most natural looking fitted dentures for people with multiple missing, or total loss of, teeth.

The History
Tim Roberts I-COM’s Managing Director was introduced to Barrie in 2004 to discuss The Smile Centre’s website and marketing. After their initial meeting Tim devised a marketing strategy and implemented measurement and tracking tools to identify what was providing the return on investments. I-COM also replaced the template website that Yell had provided, which was not performing well in search engines or converting. The simple website was promoted through paid search, which provided excellent return on investment.
Over the years I-COM has continuously improved the Smile Centre's online strategy and given fact-based feedback on the traditional advertising, as every aspect of the campaign is tracked and evaluated.
