The Client
SafetyBuyer is an e-commerce merchant providing health and safety products to businesses from fire extinguishers and first aid kits to workwear, signs and spill control.
The Brief
SafetyBuyer came to I-COM as a startup looking for an e-commerce website and support with digital marketing and Google Adwords in order to drive the business.

The Approach
I-COM designed a simple, search-friendly e-commerce website using Magento which enabled the client to manage their own on-site work, while putting together an SEO strategy to maximise the limited budget by providing both consultancy on actions that SafetyBuyer could implement themselves and using our own time for off-site and technical work.
At the same time, our PPC team worked closely with SafetyBuyer to setup and manage campaigns on Google Adwords and Google Shopping.
The shift in focus to UX led to a jump in organic visibility which had begun to flatline over time, as well as an even bigger percentage increase in revenue.

Total revenue up by 49%

The Outcome
Following our activities, organic traffic increased by 33% and organic revenue increased by 50%.
The improved user experience also enabled I-COM to push PPC, driving a 63% increase in PPC traffic and a 57% increase in revenue from paid search.
Overall, traffic increased by 52%, leading to a 49% increase in revenue.
