A structured route into Dancing Badger's strategy, web, design and analytics ecosystem.

View overview

The Great Barn Devon is a premium wedding and events venue located in Devon, offering exclusive-use weddings, luxury accommodation and event experiences.

The venue already had a talented internal marketing team and a clear direction for its brand and digital presence. However, specialist support was required to ensure that both the website and digital marketing infrastructure were implemented effectively.

Rather than taking ownership away from the client, Dancing Badger worked alongside the existing team, providing technical expertise, strategic guidance and implementation support where required.

This collaborative approach helped strengthen both online visibility and marketing performance whilst allowing the client to maintain control of its ongoing activity.

The newly launched Google Ads campaign generated brochure downloads, lead form submissions, conversation starts and call interactions, creating a strong foundation for ongoing lead generation.

The Client

The Great Barn Devon is a luxury wedding and events venue offering exclusive-use celebrations, on-site accommodation and bespoke guest experiences.

As competition within the wedding venue sector continues to increase, ensuring strong visibility across local search, wedding-related searches and paid advertising channels is critical for attracting new enquiries and bookings.

The Challenge

The Great Barn Devon already had a strong brand and a clear vision for its digital presence.

However, there were several areas where specialist support would deliver greater impact:

The objective was to strengthen performance whilst supporting, rather than replacing, the existing marketing team.

Our Role

Website Development & Technical Delivery

The Great Barn Devon approached Dancing Badger with an established vision and design direction for the website.

Our role was to provide the technical expertise required to transform those concepts into a fully functioning, user-friendly website capable of supporting long-term growth.

By working closely with the internal team, we helped ensure the final website reflected both the venue’s brand and commercial objectives.

SEO Consultancy

SEO support focused on helping The Great Barn Devon increase visibility across wedding and venue-related searches.

This included:

As part of the project, we recommended and implemented BrightLocal, allowing the team to monitor and improve local SEO performance on an ongoing basis. The internal team continues to use and manage this platform independently.

Google Ads Setup

Dancing Badger helped establish Google Ads activity designed to generate qualified wedding enquiries.

Campaigns were configured to support:

From launch, the campaign generated more than 120 measurable engagement and enquiry actions, providing a valuable source of qualified leads.

Strategic Consultancy

A key part of the engagement was providing strategic input rather than simply executing tasks.

This included:

This flexible approach allowed the in-house team to remain in control whilst gaining access to specialist expertise whenever required.

The Approach

Our role was never to replace The Great Barn Devon’s internal marketing team.

Instead, we focused on complementing and supporting existing resources.

By understanding the client’s structure and strengths, we were able to step in where specialist knowledge was needed whilst allowing the internal team to continue leading day-to-day marketing activity.

This consultative model ensured:

Key Outcomes

Improving Visibility for Wedding Venue Searches

One of the most significant areas of growth came through improved visibility for wedding-related searches.

Search performance improved across key terms including:

Several of these searches showed substantial ranking improvements, increasing opportunities for prospective couples to discover the venue through organic search.

Supporting, Not Replacing, Internal Teams

The Great Barn Devon perfectly reflects the philosophy behind DB Growth.

Not every business wants or needs a fully outsourced marketing function.

Many organisations already have talented internal teams and simply require additional expertise in specific areas.

Our role was to provide that expertise, helping the client move faster, avoid technical pitfalls and implement industry-leading tools and strategies while keeping ownership and knowledge within the business.

Conclusion

The Great Barn Devon project demonstrates the value of a flexible, consultative approach to digital marketing.

By combining website development expertise, SEO consultancy, Google Ads implementation and ongoing strategic support, Dancing Badger helped strengthen the venue’s digital foundations whilst supporting the existing marketing team.

The result was a successful website launch, a 24.7% increase in organic search traffic, improved wedding venue visibility and a paid advertising programme generating more than 120 wedding-related lead and engagement actions. Most importantly, the project showcases how specialist support can work alongside internal teams to accelerate growth without replacing existing capabilities.

Operating within the luxury home and interiors sector requires more than simply attracting traffic. Success depends on reaching the right customers, showcasing products effectively and creating a seamless path to purchase.

Through a combination of SEO, PPC optimisation, audience targeting and data analysis, we developed a strategy focused on delivering measurable commercial growth.

Rather than treating SEO and PPC as separate disciplines, performance insights were shared across channels.

This integrated approach created a more efficient and effective growth programme.

Rather than treating SEO and PPC as separate activities, insights were shared across channels to create a more cohesive acquisition strategy.

This integrated approach ensured activities remained aligned with measurable business outcomes.

Results

Key Outcomes

Strengthening Visibility for Anniversary Gifting

One of the most successful areas of the project was expanding visibility across anniversary-related searches.

Search data highlighted growing demand around milestone anniversaries, with particularly strong opportunities in categories such as Ruby, Golden, Diamond and other commemorative gifting occasions.

By improving category optimisation, refining keyword targeting and creating supporting content, English Roses strengthened its visibility across some of its most commercially valuable search themes.

Conclusion

The English Roses project demonstrates how a data-led marketing strategy can unlock substantial ecommerce growth.

Through a combination of SEO, PPC optimisation, audience segmentation, conversion improvements and content development, Dancing Badger helped English Roses strengthen its online presence, increase customer acquisition opportunities and achieve a 312% increase in ROI year on year.

Increase in Referral Traffic

Enhanced visibility and a stronger online presence contributed to a substantial increase in referral traffic year on year.

The Client

LHP Medical Aesthetics offers advanced non-surgical aesthetic treatments designed to address a range of skin, facial and ageing concerns.

The clinic’s focus on professional treatments and patient care meant there was a strong opportunity to attract more qualified traffic through organic search, provided the website could effectively match patient intent and answer key pre-treatment questions.

The Challenge

The website contained valuable treatment information, but several challenges were limiting its ability to maximise organic performance:

The challenge was to create a structure that worked for both users and search engines while supporting future growth.

Our Role

Data Analysis & Insights

The project began with a comprehensive review of performance data using Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4.

This analysis helped identify:

By understanding how users interacted with the website, we could make more informed strategic recommendations.

SEO Strategy

A full SEO optimisation programme was implemented across the website, including:

Each key page was reviewed and optimised to improve relevance, search visibility and user experience.

Conditions Section Development

One of the most significant improvements was the introduction of a dedicated Conditions section.

Rather than focusing exclusively on treatment names, the new structure addressed the concerns patients were actively searching for, including issues such as skin ageing, pigmentation, acne and rosacea.

Each condition page was linked to the most appropriate treatment options, creating a more intuitive user journey while helping search engines better understand the relationship between concerns and solutions.

Content Cluster Strategy

To strengthen topical authority, we analysed search behaviour and developed supporting content clusters around key treatment areas.

This content strategy focused on building relevance around themes including:

The resulting content ecosystem helped support both category-level visibility and treatment page performance.

AI Recommendations & Copywriting

Alongside manual SEO analysis, AI-assisted recommendations were used to identify content opportunities, strengthen internal linking and enhance topical coverage across the website.

This allowed content improvements to be implemented strategically and at scale.

The Approach

The project focused on aligning the website more closely with real-world patient behaviour.

Rather than simply promoting treatments, the strategy was built around understanding:

From this analysis, we implemented a joined-up strategy consisting of:

Together, these improvements created a website that was more visible, more useful and better positioned to attract qualified traffic.

Results

Key Outcomes

Creating Condition-Led Patient Journeys

A significant factor in the project’s success was understanding how patients search.

Many prospective clients search for concerns such as acne, rosacea, pigmentation or ageing skin before they search for a specific treatment.

The dedicated Conditions section allowed LHP Medical Aesthetics to address this behaviour directly, helping users find relevant information faster and creating stronger pathways towards appropriate treatments.

Building Authority Through Content

The content cluster strategy enabled LHP Medical Aesthetics to grow beyond individual treatment pages.

By creating supporting content around key aesthetic themes and patient concerns, the website was able to address a wider range of search intents while strengthening the authority of core treatment pages through strategic internal linking.

This approach laid the foundations for continued long-term organic growth.

Conclusion

The LHP Medical Aesthetics project demonstrates the value of combining data analysis, SEO expertise and content strategy to drive sustainable growth.

Through a comprehensive programme of keyword research, website optimisation, condition-led content development and topical authority building, Dancing Badger helped transform organic search into the clinic’s leading digital acquisition channel.

The result was a 75.07% increase in organic traffic, a 73.35% increase in organic search sessions and significantly greater visibility across both treatment and condition-focused searches, helping more prospective patients discover the right solutions at the right stage of their journey.
