How we worked with Essential Marketer to help our client Quick Find Directories
At StudioRav, we believe that the best results come from strong partnerships that combine expertise, innovation, and shared goals. Recently, we had the opportunity to partner with Essential Marketer, a prominent SEO company based in Bromsgrove, to work on an exciting project for Quick Find Directories.
This partnership allowed both companies to play to their strengths. While Essential Marketer focused on SEO strategy, StudioRav handled the technical aspects of website development.
Together, we helped elevate Quick Find Directories, optimising their online presence and enhancing the user experience.
The Quick Find Directories Challenge
Quick Find Directories is an online platform designed to connect homeowners with reliable local tradespeople, including plumbers, electricians, builders, etc. in and around the Birmingham area.
Given the competitive nature of online directory services, Quick Find Directories faced a significant challenge: how to ensure the platform stands out in a crowded market, ranks well in search results, and provides an easy user experience.
That’s where the partnership between StudioRav and Essential Marketer became crucial. Our combined expertise allowed us to tackle this challenge from multiple angles, focusing on both the technical framework of the site and its visibility in search engines.
What StudioRav Did
At StudioRav, our core strength lies in website development, design customisation, and performance optimisation. When Quick Find Directories approached us, we knew we had the tools to help transform the website into a fast, user-friendly platform.
1. Website Development
Our first step in the project was to thoroughly audit the Quick Find Directories website. We wanted to ensure that the structure was not only user-friendly but also search-engine friendly. We worked on enhancing the overall website architecture, which improved both the navigation for users and the ease with which search engines could crawl the site.
2. WordPress Customisation
Quick Find Directories is powered by WordPress, a versatile platform that allows for various levels of customisation. However, like many businesses using WordPress, Quick Find Directories required tailored features to meet its unique needs.
StudioRav implemented several custom plugins and made design modifications to better reflect the brand’s goals. Our customisations ensured that users could easily find and interact with directory listings, leading to a more streamlined user journey.
3. Website Speed Optimisation
One of the major challenges Quick Find Directories faced was slow loading times. Website speed is a critical factor not only for user satisfaction but also for SEO rankings. At StudioRav, we used a range of strategies, including image compression, script optimisation, and caching techniques, to significantly improve the loading speed of the website. These improvements helped reduce bounce rates, increase user engagement, and create a smoother, faster experience overall.
Essential Marketer’s Contribution
While StudioRav focused on optimising the website’s technical framework, Essential Marketer applied their extensive knowledge of SEO to boost the site’s online visibility. Their efforts in keyword research, backlinking, and content strategy were instrumental in helping Quick Find Directories rank higher on Google and attract more organic traffic.
1. Keyword Research
Essential Marketer began by conducting in-depth keyword research to uncover high-traffic and relevant search terms for Quick Find Directories. Their research provided valuable insights into what potential customers were searching for when looking for local tradespeople. By integrating these keywords into our site structure, metadata, and content, StudioRav ensured that Quick Find Directories was positioned to capture more organic search traffic.
2. Backlinking Strategy
One of the key factors in improving a website’s authority and search engine ranking is the quality of its backlink profile. Essential Marketer executed an effective backlinking strategy by securing high-quality, relevant backlinks from reputable websites. This not only improved the domain authority of Quick Find Directories but also boosted its rankings in search engine results pages (SERPs).
3. Content Mapping
Content is a critical part of SEO success. Essential Marketer created a comprehensive content map to guide the creation of SEO-friendly, user-focused content. This content plan was designed to address gaps in the current website and help Quick Find Directories target key search terms while providing valuable information for its users. This combination of technical SEO improvements and high-quality content creation has helped to drive long-term traffic growth.
The Results – A Significant Increase in Traffic
Thanks to the successful partnership between StudioRav and Essential Marketer, Quick Find Directories has seen remarkable improvements in its website performance and traffic. The technical enhancements made by StudioRav, combined with the SEO expertise of Essential Marketer, have resulted in a substantial increase in organic traffic to the site. Users are now finding Quick Find Directories more easily through search engines, and once they land on the site, they’re enjoying a faster, more streamlined browsing experience.
Our joint efforts have also improved user engagement, with more visitors staying on the site longer and navigating through directory listings more efficiently.

The success of the Quick Find Directories project underscores the power of partnership. By aligning our technical expertise at StudioRav with Essential Marketer’s SEO prowess, we were able to deliver a holistic solution that not only improved the website’s usability but also made it more visible in a competitive online landscape.
Each company played a crucial role in ensuring the project’s success, and the results speak for themselves: higher traffic, better user engagement, and improved search engine rankings.
