Boosting Brand Visibility and Lead Generation for Parking app
Our client, a highly respected Skin and Hair specialist in New York (USA), has a strong offline reputation with a loyal patient base as they are operating since 2001. However, like many healthcare professionals, they struggled to translate their expertise and success into the online world. Despite offering a range of advanced skin and hair treatments, they found it challenging to attract new customers and generate sales through their online platforms.
Their goal was to increase their visibility, attract more clients for both online consultations and in-clinic appointments, and grow their brand’s digital presence.
Problems
Despite offering a useful service, ParkItNow struggled with the following challenges:
- Limited Online Presence: Although the app was well-known within the local community, it had low visibility on digital platforms. The website was not optimized for search engines, and there was little interaction on social media channels.
- Low Conversion Rates: The app had an existing website, but the conversion of visitors into app downloads or sign-ups was minimal, with users failing to engage fully.
- Lack of Brand Awareness: The app’s reputation was confined to a small geographic area, and the client wanted to expand their brand recognition and reach a broader audience.
- Ineffective Paid Advertising Campaigns: The client had attempted to run Google Ads and social media campaigns, but they didn’t see a meaningful return on investment (ROI) due to poorly targeted ads and an unclear value proposition.
- Inadequate Customer Retention: ParkItNow wasn’t effectively leveraging its existing user base to generate repeat users, leading to higher acquisition costs and lower customer loyalty.
Solutions
Website Redesign and SEO Strategy: We revamped the website to make it more user-friendly and visually appealing, highlighting features like easy parking reservations and secure payments. We also optimized the site for search engines by targeting relevant keywords and created a blog to share parking tips and app updates, which helped drive organic traffic.
Social Media Marketing and Community Engagement: We focused on building a strong presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. This included sharing user-generated content, success stories, and engaging with the community through real-time updates and discussions about parking issues. We also collaborated with local influencers to promote the app and held interactive sessions like Q&As and contests.
Targeted Paid Advertising Campaigns: We improved previous paid campaigns by restructuring them for better targeting and messaging. This included setting up Google Ads with location-specific keywords and creating targeted social media ads aimed at city dwellers and commuters. We also implemented retargeting ads to encourage users who visited the site but didn’t download the app.
Email Marketing for Retention and Upselling: We developed email campaigns to nurture existing users by offering discounts, updates on new locations, and reminders to use the app. We promoted premium features and exclusive offers to encourage repeat bookings and increase user engagement.
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO): We analyzed the customer journey to identify drop-off points and made improvements, such as simplifying the booking process and adding a live chat feature for instant support. We also created tailored landing pages for specific parking services to enhance relevance and boost conversion rates.
Brand Positioning and PR Campaigns: We positioned Parking App as a trusted solution for parking in cities through targeted PR efforts, including guest blog posts and interviews to establish authority in the parking space. We also engaged with local businesses and events to increase brand visibility and build community trust.
