The situation

One franchisee was winning. The brand wanted the same.

Frank Casey Suit Hire runs several retail stores and an online shop for hiring and buying formal suits. After seeing the extra enquiries The Authority had delivered for one of its franchisees, the franchisor wanted the same across the whole brand.

The existing website was built in Flash, and had none of the basics search engines need.

What we did

Audit, rebuild, then build authority.

Audit

SEO audit

Keyword research, a ranking report, an on-page assessment, a backlink review and recommendations.

To be straight about it

What it led to.
