THE BUSINESS

Allshelter

Allshelter is a leading manufacturer of fabric-covered shelters and container dome solutions. Their shelters are widely used across industrial, mining, and construction sectors where weather protection, durability, and modular functionality are essential. With a long-standing reputation for quality engineering and customer service, Allshelter required a digital marketing partner to enhance their online presence and bring greater clarity to their return on investment.

The Challenge

Despite a strong physical presence in the industry, Allshelter faced a few common but critical digital hurdles:

  • They were not ranking consistently for their core commercial keywords.
  • Their Google Ads campaigns had fluctuating performance and lacked efficiency.
  • There was a disconnect between marketing activity and measurable business outcomes due to limited attribution tracking.
  • Their website, while informative, wasn’t optimised to convert traffic into qualified leads effectively.

Allshelter needed a solution that would not only bring in more leads but also reduce the cost per acquisition, improve their visibility across search engines, and create a digital experience that aligned with their premium product offering.

Our Strategy & Services Delivered

SEO Implementation

We conducted a comprehensive SEO audit to identify technical and on-page opportunities. This included optimising title tags, improving internal linking structure, refining meta descriptions, and targeting high-value industry-specific keywords.

Our focus was not just on traffic growth, but on capturing the right audience. Allshelter’s SEO strategy also included the creation of industry blogs, keyword-optimised landing pages, and ongoing performance tracking.

Google Ads Strategy

The Google Ads account was restructured to better align with campaign objectives. We implemented segmented campaigns based on product categories and geographic targets. Ad copy was rewritten to reflect Allshelter’s unique value proposition, while negative keyword lists were expanded to eliminate wasted spend.

Bid strategies were shifted to focus on conversions rather than clicks, and campaign performance was continually refined through A/B testing and data-led decisions.

Website Redevelopment Support

Allshelter’s website was gradually rebuilt to support a better user experience. Clearer messaging, improved navigation, faster load times, and stronger calls-to-action were implemented to ensure the site guided visitors towards enquiry or lead capture.

The rebuild followed a staged approach to maintain site stability and SEO equity during the transition.

Results Achieved

The collaboration with Allshelter quickly began to yield tangible improvements across multiple performance indicators.

Key Performance Indicators:

  • Keyword Rankings: All core product-related keywords reached and maintained the #1 position in Google search results.
  • Cost Per Sale: Decreased by over 50%, resulting in greater efficiency and higher ROI.
  • Marketing Attribution: Improved visibility into customer journeys allowed for better decision-making and marketing budget allocation.
