Our shortlisted entry 

Being shortlisted at The UK Search Awards 2022 means so much to us. Not only did entering the awards present us with a well-renowned platform to showcase our work and specialist knowledge but it was an excellent opportunity to network with other talented agencies and in-houseteams from businesses across the UK. 

The UK Search awards notably recognise expertise, talent and achievements of the search industry and to be included in the final shortlist is a real testament to the hard work the ROAR team has been doing in the last year. 

ROAR has graciously been nominated in not one but two of the categories on the night.

1. Best PPC Campaign (SMALL)
2. Best Small SEO Agency

With the energy market facing challenges each and every day as the cost of living crisis engulfs the UK, ROAR needed to create and execute PPC campaigns that were to an exceptionally high standard for our client Tritility. 

During our continued partnership with Tritility we have supported them with PPC efforts that have resulted in a 66% decrease in their cost per conversion on their site. We also successfully increased their daily lead volume by 440%.

We did this by conducting extensive and tailored keyword research into the energy industry. We were challenged by a tricky period in defining the terms used by domestic users and the business search data we collected. A 50/50 split was noticed between searchings but within such an experinsve area boasting a high cost per click, we We noticed a 50/50 split between searchings’, but in such an expensive area with a high cost per click, the pressure was on to ensure we resolved this quickly and professionally.

In order to achieve this, ROAR had to work closely with the client to walk them through our research developments and ad copy. This was crucial to ensure both the client and ourselves understood the industry terminology being used by their target audience which was included in our ads. This was to ensure that domestic users were fully aware that ther ads we’re not aimed towards themselves. We aimed to ensure that business users felt that the ad reflected exactly what they were searching for. 

We entered the UK Search Awards to showcase our hard work and fantastic results for our clients. We felt strongly that this was the ideal opportunity to present our skills and we hoped our campaign work with Tritility would secure us a spot on the shortlist and it did. Having watched the UK Search Awards come and go for a few years, we felt finally it was our time to give it a shot and how thrilled we are to have entered.

We have been fortunate to work on so many exciting and inspiring projects this year and are incredibly thrilled to be nominated and attending The UK Search Awards 2022. In particular we look forward to a fun filled evening and meeting so many other talented individuals and companies and hearing about their work.
