How Did We Do It?

Website Optimisation & Content Refresh

1

 BFJ Digital modernised the Western Suburbs Automatics website by improving its technical performance and content architecture. We developed new, conversion-focused landing pages, refined internal linking and site hierarchy, and updated copy to align with SEO best practices.

This included optimising keyword placement, integrating locational relevance, and adding structured FAQ content to enhance semantic search visibility. The result was a faster, more search-friendly website that delivered a smoother user experience and stronger lead generation performance.

Strategic Google Ads Campaigns

2

By combining insights into search behaviour with localised audience targeting, we delivered campaigns highlighting core services, including automatic transmission servicing and repairs, to improve both engagement and conversions.

 

Continuous Optimisation & Scaling

3

Across five years, we continuously optimised campaign structure, including keyword selection, ad group organisation, and bidding strategies, while testing ad extensions, excluding non-performing audiences, and adjusting for seasonal trends to sustain strong ROI.

The Results

With just an 18% increase in ad spend compared to the previous year, BFJ achieved:

  • 173% increase in clicks
  • 32% increase in conversions
  • 109% higher CTR
  • 56% lower CPC
  • 10% reduction in CPA

The result? Western Suburbs Automatics is now booked out months in advance, a testament to the power of long-term strategic digital growth.
