Our digital marketing service allows you to reach and engage your customers online.

We work with you to create cost-effective and measurable digital solutions to target the customers you want to reach. Our range of digital marketing services from pay-per-click, social media, search engine optimisation and email marketing enable you to interact with people who are most likely to be interested in your products or services. In an increasingly digital world, a methodical digital marketing strategy can help your business to grow and take advantage of online platforms to increase your visibility.

Digital marketing is, in essence, any form of marketing that exists online. It enables you to be agile and responsive to the latest trends, allows you to view the real-time results of your campaigns, and change your approach instantly to improve engagement. Our digital marketing services cater for all budgets, from large businesses to new start-ups. Digital marketing can be particularly effective for smaller enterprises, where a limited budget and resources can go a long way in making you competitive online in comparison to television and radio advertising, which both require significant investment. Our digital team can help to widen your geographic reach or zero in on particular groups of people. Our expertise coupled with a straightforward and collaborative approach can benefit organisations of all sizes and industries.

Search Engine Optimisation

Insight-led SEO to help your website rank.

Before consumers are sure what particular service or product they’re looking for, the vast majority will turn to a search engine for research and to answer their questions. At Mackman, we optimise your online content for search engines so that your website is visible to those who are looking for any terms related to your product or service offering. We can carry out SEO improvements on any website to ensure that search engines are able to crawl and index it correctly, no matter the platform. In addition, all of the sites that we design and build are conceived of with SEO firmly in mind from day one, enabling you to rank higher on search engines and reach the audiences you need. Our SEO services come as part of our website package, where our digital team will review your search engine ranking position (SERP), enhance metadata, and ensure your content adheres to specific keywords and tags. The utilisation of keywords is a big part of SEO, allowing you to track how you rank for certain key terms within your sector. We also build links, driving traffic to your site and lending you a valuable vote of confidence from authorities in your industry.

Pay-per-click

Precisely targeted campaigns for your audiences.

Pay-per-click (PPC) allows you to place adverts on various marketing platforms and pay the host every time that advert is clicked on or viewed. The aim of these adverts is to drive traffic through to a specific page of your website, enabling site visitors to convert, for example through the purchase of a product, or a telephone enquiry about a service, or signing up for a newsletter. Advertising platforms include social media sites, such as Facebook and LinkedIn, as well as search engines, like Google and Bing, which allow you to display ads that are relevant to what users’ interests are and what they are searching for. There are a number of targeting options available for PPC campaigns, including specific demographics, locations, dates, times, and devices. PPC campaigns therefore allow you to focus on specific segments of your audience. Our digital marketing team tracks your campaign, which can run from days to months, and provides a detailed report of the campaign’s performance, such as the number of conversions and cost per conversion, that can be used to inform future campaigns.

Social Media

Generating leads and engaging with your customers.

84% of people with access to the internet use social media – regardless of what industry your business is in, it is highly likely that your customers are spending time on channels like Twitter or Facebook, so it is more important than ever to have a social media presence, particularly in the B2C sector. With digital marketing, you can significantly increase your brand recognition by communicating with your customers and networking with similar businesses. We can set up social media advertising campaigns to connect you with your customers and measure the results to further refine your audiences. Our campaigns can direct your customers to your website and raise brand awareness among the demographics and user groups that you want to reach the most. In addition, although managing a social media channel requires very little expenditure of money, investment of time is essential to benefit your brand and reach wider audiences. We can produce a regular stream of relevant and timely social media content at a minimum of three posts per week based on industry news, blog pieces, behind-the-scenes insights and relevant hashtags to maintain the presence of your business on social media and encourage conversation among followers.

User Experience Optimisation

Increasing your conversion rate, facilitating user experience.

When a potential customer clicks into your website, you have about 3 seconds for them to find what they are looking for before they leave again. User experience, or UX, can make or break a website: it can look beautiful and provide all the information visitors could ever want, but is it simple to use? Does it load quickly? Are there errors or bugs? Our digital and development teams optimise websites for user experience, increasing the time that users spend on each page, engaging them, ensuring that the information that they are looking for is clearly presented, and ultimately facilitating more conversions. This is a partnership between content and digital, allowing for the most natural and intuitive experience possible. The more fluid a website’s conversion process is, the more encouraging it becomes for leads to convert, and imbues your website – and therefore your brand – with trust.

“If you think that good design is expensive, you should look at the cost of bad design.”

Email Marketing

Send your brand messaging direct to customers’ inboxes.

Email has wide reach – virtually anybody who is online has an email address, and over 293 billion emails are sent each day around the world. As a form of digital marketing, email provides highly measurable results in the form of ‘opens’ and ‘clicks’, and it can be fully automated to send emails to customers. At Mackman, our email marketing platform of choice is Mailchimp – however, we are happy to help you select your own platform based on your needs and budget. Our digital team is experienced with using ActiveCampaign, Campaign Monitor and Send Grid among others, so we can use a platform that you’ve already set up. Mailchimp is secure, highly customisable, and GDPR compliant. Its marketing CRM tools enable you to find out what your customers’ interests are, while built-in analytics update in real time to give you performance reports and data-driven insights. Your audience can be segmented so that you differentiate your messaging quickly and easily. The block editor interface allows you to create templates and design specific emails for particular purposes, meaning that if you choose to manage your own email output, you can maintain your brand style and send out emails quickly and easily. We provide Mailchimp training to ensure that you have the tools you need to create on-brand marketing emails.

How We Work

Our approach to digital marketing is focused around showing a return on investment and is data driven. All of our digital advertising campaigns are fully tracked from when they receive your email or click on your ad to when they checkout. This allows us to constantly improve your digital advertising efforts by changing the messaging, design and experience to help drive more conversions from your budget.

Our SEO campaigns are also data driven, tracked and reported on. We carry out quick initial checks before we start any SEO work, taking a look at where you currently are in terms of search engine results page rankings, your current website traffic, and the number of impressions and clicks your website currently gets. Once we have a baseline we’re then able to start your SEO campaign and provide you with reports on improvements in your rankings, website traffic and impressions and clicks.
