Strategy

Our strategy to drive growth in high-value prime London leads utilised SEO to achieve visibility improvements for London-related serviced office keywords in the SERPs.

Our bespoke keyword technology provided the data to develop an effective search marketing strategy for Flexioffices’ SEO. Our unique process enabled us to identify 10,000s of relevant keywords across the UK, and London. These keywords were segmented into dimensions based on their office type, main location and secondary location.

Priority landing pages were optimised using keyword research to identify relevant semantic topics for key London locations. These page optimisations improved content relevance scores for transaction pages, whilst providing ‘fresh’ content signals to Google crawlers.

We were set the objective of achieving growth for London locations, and therefore developed an interactive London Skyline tool to get coverage in key leading London publications. We achieved PR coverage for Flexioffices with the London Skyline interactive tool in London’s leading business newspaper – CityAM. As well as in TimeOut Magazine, which is one of London’s most read magazines.

We acquired a wide range of backlinks to support SEO objectives through an innovative approach of using Flexioffices’ primary data to produce market reports & press releases.
