Simply Seated — event styling and furniture hire
The challenge

A leading event furniture and styling service, ready to scale online.

Simply Seated embarked on a digital marketing journey to enhance their online visibility and attract a larger clientele. Specializing in elegant, high-quality furniture rentals for events, they required a strategy that would differentiate them in a competitive market and drive more business through digital channels.

The story

Strong brand, flat pipeline.

From broken SEO and underperforming ads to a full-funnel machine. Here's what we found — and fixed.

01

Client Background

Operating in the event planning and hospitality industry, Simply Seated offers an exquisite selection of furniture and decor items for weddings, corporate events, and private parties. Their commitment to quality and customer service has established them as a go-to provider, yet they sought to expand their reach and increase bookings through effective online marketing.

02

Problem Statement

Despite a strong portfolio and reputation for excellence, Simply Seated faced challenges in maximizing their online presence and generating leads. They aimed to boost website traffic, enhance their digital footprint, and achieve a higher conversion rate for event bookings.

03

Solution Provided

Meta Ads targeting event planners, brides-to-be, and corporate event coordinators. Google Ads on high-intent event-furniture queries. And SEO recovery from a "redirect gone wrong" that had wiped 75% of organic traffic months earlier.

Implementation process

Optimise the site. Then scale the spend.

We began by optimizing the Simply Seated website for user experience and conversion efficiency — ensuring landing pages were compelling and conversion tracking was in place.
