The Brief

SafetyBuyer

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

SafetyBuyer

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.

I-COM has been truly instrumental in bringing SafetyBuyer online as well as establishing us as a key player within our industry. We operate within a highly competitive market and although I had every faith I-COM’s paid search expertise, I would not have envisioned achieving such consistent success throughout the last few years. I-COM’s activities are at the core of all our digital marketing activity and we see the team as a digital extension of our business. SafetyBuyer would not be the successful brand it is without I-COM’s support.
