Driving Efficiency and Clarity: How GWM Ringwood Halved CPL and Boosted Leads via Meta Ads
Driving Efficiency and Clarity: How GWM Ringwood Halved CPL and Boosted Leads via Meta Ads
Digital Nomads HQ
Project Timeframe
6 Months (as mentioned for the associated SEO campaign, but the social media focus suggests a continuous effort)
The Challenge
GWM Ringwood was generating leads, but their marketing process lacked clarity, tracking, and a streamlined structure. The team was inefficiently managing ad creative and organic content, making it impossible to measure ROI or know which channels were driving results for sustainable growth.
The Strategy/Solution
A Streamlined, Data-Driven Approach:
1. Streamlined Customer Journey: Developed a series of “always-on” Meta ad campaigns designed to connect with customers at every stage of the buying journey, from interest to purchase.
2. Refined Messaging: Shifted away from aggressive sales tactics, using a friendly, helpful tone that aligned with the GWM brand. A/B testing was used continually to optimize messaging, imagery, and Calls-to-Action.
3. Client Collaboration: Worked closely with the dealership to ensure online promotions were always aligned with showroom activities, creating a seamless customer experience.
The Results
The new strategy delivered immediate and consistent month-on-month improvements, providing a clear, measurable Return on Investment (ROI) and establishing a sustainable system for growth.
Key Metrics (Quantitative)
(Note: Specific percentages/figures were not available in the public summary. Use your actual numbers when submitting.)
Metric 1: Increase in FB Ads Leads (Higher volume of enquiries for the sales team.)
Metric 2: Decrease in FB Ads Cost Per Lead (CPL) (Achieved greater efficiency, meaning the marketing budget worked harder.)
Metric 3: Increase in FB Ads Click-Through Rate (CTR) (Indicated ads were more engaging and relevant to the target audience.)

Diving Deep into Conversions: How Scubaworld Achieved a 600% ROI on Paid Social Media
Digital Nomads HQ
Project Timeframe
3-Month Social Marketing Campaign
The Challenge
Scubaworld had a strong local reputation but relied too heavily on its existing community and word-of-mouth. Their fragmented digital marketing was failing to reach a broader audience of new customers, such as general adventure seekers and travel enthusiasts. The goal was to establish a consistent, profitable channel for driving direct online bookings.
The Strategy/Solution
A Direct-Response Social Marketing Approach:
1. Smart Audience Targeting: Utilized Facebook’s advertising platform to precisely target new audiences demonstrating interest in scuba diving, adventure travel, and underwater exploration.
2. High-Quality Creative: Focused on stunning, high-quality underwater photography and video to showcase the experience and inspire immediate bookings.
3. Conversion Optimization: Continuously monitored and optimized the campaign based on click-through rates, conversions, and cost to create a direct line between seeing an ad and booking a dive.
The Results (Key Metrics)
The campaign established social media as a powerful and profitable customer acquisition channel, delivering an exceptional return:
Key Metric 1: Return on Ad Spend (ROAS): Achieved a 6:1 ROAS (For every dollar invested, six dollars in revenue were generated).
Other Results: Significant Increase in Impressions and an Increase in Organic Traffic (due to increased brand activity and interest).

Becoming the Top 4x4 Authority: Just Autos Doubles Organic Traffic with 350 Top-3 SEO Rankings
Digital Nomads HQ
9-Month SEO Campaign
The Challenge
Just Autos had an excellent national reputation for high-quality Toyota 4×4 modifications, but this was not reflected in their search engine performance. They lacked visibility for the specific, technical search terms used by qualified customers, causing them to miss key opportunities for targeted leads.
The Strategy/Solution
Combining Technical SEO with High-Value Content:
1. Enhanced Technical SEO & Homepage: Implemented site-wide technical improvements, optimized titles/meta descriptions, and updated the homepage with improved navigation to feature services for specific Toyota 4×4 models.
2. Blog-Driven Authority: Focused on the blog to cover relevant, in-depth topics. The content plan was highly effective, with one article alone ranking for over 750 keywords.
3. Smart Retargeting: Developed an automation campaign to retarget visitors who showed interest in high-performing pages, bringing qualified users back to the site.
The Results (Key Metrics)
The nine-month campaign delivered significant growth, establishing Just Autos as a highly visible authority in their niche.
Key Metric 1: Increase in Organic Sessions: Organic website traffic more than doubled, attracting significantly more qualified visitors.
Key Metric 2: Increase in Top 3 Ranking Keywords: Achieved over 350 keywords ranking in the top three search positions, connecting them with customers at the point of decision.
Key Metric 3: Increase in Attained Keywords: Achieved an increase in the total number of keywords they are visible for, representing a major expansion of their online presence.

Riding the Search Wave: Go Ride A Wave Dominates Local SEO on the Great Ocean Road
Digital Nomads HQ
6-Month SEO Campaign
The Challenge
Go Ride A Wave, an iconic surf school, had a strong reputation but its website was failing to appear in local search results for key Great Ocean Road locations (like Torquay, Lorne, or Anglesea). This disconnect between their real-world popularity and their online visibility was preventing them from attracting and booking potential new customers.
The Strategy/Solution

1. Website Overhaul: Began with a complete website redesign focused on a mobile-friendly design and improving the user experience for easy information finding and lesson booking, creating a strong SEO foundation.
2. Local Campaign: Optimized Google Business Profiles for each location and created content specifically targeting geo-specific keywords for towns along the Great Ocean Road.
3. Optimised Content & Authority: Rewrote on-page copy, built a clear internal linking structure, and secured backlinks from relevant tourism and travel websites to build site authority.
The Results (Key Metrics)
The campaign successfully transformed the website into a high-performing asset, matching their real-world reputation with online visibility.
Key Metric 1: Increase in Organic Click-Through Rate (CTR): A 44% increase in CTR showed that new titles and descriptions were highly effective in search results.
Key Metric 2: Increase in Impressions: A 27% increase in impressions meant the brand was far more visible to people searching for surf lessons and activities.
Key Metric 3: Improvement in Average Keyword Position: A 20% improvement in average keyword position pushed listings higher up in search results.

Project Timeframe

The Challenge
Asset Cabins & Homes had a strong reputation and high-quality products, but their growth was limited by a heavy reliance on word-of-mouth.

3. Search-to-Lead Channel: Focused the entire effort on establishing organic search as a reliable, new channel for attracting high-value commercial leads.
The Results (Key Metrics)
Within four months, the strategy created a foundation for long-term growth, making organic search the primary source of traffic.
Key Metric 1: Top 3 Ranking Keywords: Grew from an initial target of 31 to over 115 keywords ranking in the top three search positions, placing them directly in front of high-value clients.
Key Metric 2: Increase in SERP Impressions: Achieved a significant surge in visibility, greatly expanding brand exposure to a larger, qualified commercial audience.
Key Metric 3: Increase in CTR: The increase in click-through rate demonstrated that the new, optimised search listings were highly relevant, driving more qualified traffic to the site.

Digital Nomads HQ
Campaign Timeframe: 6-Month SEO Campaign
The Challenge

Connecting with Community: Hyper-Focused Local SEO Drives New Members for Studio Fitness
Digital Nomads HQ
Campaign Timeframe: 3-Month SEO Campaign
The Challenge
Studio Fitness had a strong local community and great reputation, but they were virtually invisible in local search results. Even when people in their own suburb searched for crucial terms like “Reformer Pilates Buderim,” they could not find the studio. This lack of local visibility was a direct barrier to new member growth.
The Strategy/Solution
Hyperlocal Visibility and Authority Building:
1. Targeted Local Strategy: The campaign focused tightly on five core keywords to connect the studio with its ideal clients in the Buderim area.
2. GMB & On-Page Optimization: The first critical step was optimizing the Google Business Profile (GMB) to ensure the studio appeared in local map and search results. The website’s content and technical structure were then aligned with these target keywords.
3. Authority-Building: Secured four new, high-quality backlinks each month from relevant local and fitness-related sources to build search engine credibility and domain authority.
The Results (Key Metrics)
In just three months, the targeted campaign delivered substantial improvements in local search performance, driving qualified new leads.
Key Metric 1: Primary Keyword Position Increase: The main keyword, “Reformer Pilates Buderim,” jumped 35 positions to land on the first page of Google, putting them directly in front of their most valuable local audience.
Key Metric 2: Increase in Organic Sessions: Achieved an Increase in Organic Sessions, meaning more local users with a genuine interest in Pilates were finding and visiting the website.
Key Metric 3: Increase in Keywords: The total number of keywords the site ranks for more than doubled (from 21 to 47), significantly expanding their online reach.
