SEO improvements drive growth at exceptional ROI of 214% over 6 months

Adopting a high growth strategy for leading insurance company

A UK based insurance broker, Towergate work with leading providers to offer over 200 specialist policies designed for businesses, properties, passions, and most things in between.

With 100 offices nationwide and a 4,000 strong team, they find competitive cover options for their customers that are often bespoke to their specific needs rather than ‘off-the-shelf’.

The challenge

Having been burned by low quality SEO in the past, Towergate Insurance approached Builtvisible with an immediate need to remove a crippling manual link penalty affecting their domain, with a view to rebuilding their organic presence from the ground up.

The solution

With a distinguished history of helping enterprise-scale sites recover from link-based manual actions we were well placed to remedy Towergate’s situation – and did so successfully at the first attempt.

From thereon in it was all about rebuilding and creating a trend of growth for the firm. We undertook two pieces of bespoke technical consulting and worked closely with the Towergate Insurance development team to push the changes through.

Having formed solid technical foundations we moved on to researching, forming and executing a content strategy led by at-scale social data.

We worked closely with publishers and influencers to create a range of interactive and ‘static’ assets for use in link building activity to replenish Towergate’s link profile and grow the site’s organic visibility, traffic and leads.
