An updated and mobile-friendly website as well as a measurable PPC Google AdWords campaign has set Dockside Divers apart from the competition.

Our solution included reviewing Dockside’s website analytics and conversions to fully understand the successes of each PPC campaign, which allowed us to completely tailor their marketing strategies based on real results.

Some helpful tools that helped us leverage and fine-tune Dockside Divers’ marketing campaigns include:

Call Tracking

A powerful call analytics software that allows for an easy understanding of what’s driving business calls helps us make important decisions like expanding or shutting down a campaign, or optimizing for better performance.

Google Analytics & AdWords

A PPC campaign in Google AdWords is a highly measurable way to market your business online with targeted ads to reach the right audience at the right time.

During the first quarter of 2017, 8 Signal has increased Dockside Divers’ PPC ad impressions by 95% and their conversions by almost 130%. As impressions increased, the clickthrough rate increased with them even though the two metrics are often inversely related.

When asked what he liked about 8 Signal’s service, Brian Hall said:

“Results. The customer discovery process works, and you get the result of the website or page you’re looking for. 8 Signal performs and that is what it comes down to. I never feel like I have to be chasing them and following up. They always come through. Performance and end results are exactly what I am looking for in this service, not having to be the one driving the marketing forward myself. They do a great job at that. 8 Signal performs. That’s the bottom line.”
