Help relevant customers discover your expertise, understand what you do and find a clear route to the right service.

REAL GROWTH RESULTS
Explore the challenges, work and outcomes behind these examples from Irish businesses.
Financial Services
Following an initial consultation and full digital audit, we identified several straightforward issues limiting the company's growth. Search visibility was poor, authority was underdeveloped, and important conversion, call to action and retention elements were missing.
Brand Depot developed new authority pages, strengthened the company's SEO, AEO and GSO strategy, and introduced new conversion and retention systems.
Traffic increased by 640%, while direct enquiries grew from an average of 41 per week to more than 300. The company's close rate also increased to 71%, driving significant growth in sales and revenue following an overall investment of €6,500.
Home Improvements and Construction
A well established home improvements company approached Brand Depot after spending approximately €1,600 per month on Google Ads with very little return.
Our audit found that the campaign structure, targeting and search strategy needed refinement. We rebuilt the campaigns around higher intent searches, improved the targeting and redirected the existing budget towards the services most likely to generate qualified enquiries.
Weekly leads increased from an average of 23 to 115, while the cost per lead fell from €17.39 to €3.47, all without increasing the client's original monthly advertising budget.
Aesthetics Clinic
This aesthetics clinic had no website and relied entirely on social media and external booking links to generate appointments.
Brand Depot built the company's website, developed its search authority and introduced a complete booking, conversion and retention infrastructure. The clinic secured top three Google visibility for its core local searches, with treatment pages achieving top five positions across the services targeted to date.
Meta Ads had previously generated approximately 14 to 15 weekly bookings from a €250 weekly budget. With the same investment, bookings increased to more than 35 per week. We also introduced Google Ads using a regional budget of €150 per week, which now generates an average of 26 additional bookings each week.
Automotive Dealership
Our initial consultation identified two major issues with the dealership's advertising. The budget was too low to compete effectively, while the targeting was too broad to consistently reach buyers with genuine purchase intent.
We increased monthly advertising spend from €1,500 to €2,800 and rebuilt the campaigns around the specific makes, models and registration years of the dealership's strongest selling vehicles.
Sales increased by an average of 45%, while qualified enquiries grew from approximately 30 to 40 per week to more than 300. The dealership achieved significantly greater visibility while attracting buyers actively searching for the vehicles it had available.
Results relate to individual projects. Outcomes vary depending on the business and its circumstances.
