The challenge

Strong locally, invisible on search.

Corker is one of St Albans’ most established private-hire firms, with a large fleet, its own booking app and a loyal customer base. But underlying issues on its website were holding back SEO progress, and its search visibility didn’t reflect its reputation on the ground.

With most journeys now booked online or by mobile, the Corker team needed a partner who could fix the technical foundations, rank the site for high-intent local searches, and turn that visibility into real bookings, not just traffic.

The goal

Turn search visibility into real bookings.

  • Fix the technical foundation holding back the site’s SEO performance.
  • Grow organic rankings for high-intent local taxi and airport-transfer searches.
  • Run Google Ads alongside SEO to capture demand while organic rankings built.
  • Keep the site secure and fast with ongoing web maintenance and monitoring.
Our approach

A connected SEO, Ads and web programme.

Our 8-9 person team runs Corker’s complete digital presence (content, backlinks, technical SEO, Google Ads and website maintenance) as one connected programme rather than separate services.

01

Technical SEO

Improved site speed and navigational structure, implemented full tracking, and fixed the underlying issues holding back organic performance.

02

Content & local backlinks

Structured and optimised content for search engines and readers, and focused link building on local backlinks and paid publications.

03

Google Ads

Ran targeted Google Ads campaigns alongside organic SEO to capture bookings from high-intent local and airport-transfer searches.

04

Website maintenance & security

Ongoing website maintenance and security management, keeping the site fast, safe and reliable as traffic and bookings grew.

The results

Visibility up. Bookings up.

Since the engagement began in September 2024, Corker’s organic traffic has nearly tripled and bookings have kept climbing month over month.
