OBAN Objectives

hamptons-screenshotHamptons International approached OBAN Multilingual to raise their online profile for local websites across multiple markets in order to generate strong search results (SEO & SEM) by driving traffic and conversions. To achieve these goals they asked OBAN to implement SEO campaigns as well as PPC campaigns in multiple local markets across Europe and Asia.

OBAN Solution

The local OBAN SEO teams in each market conducted extensive research on the search behaviours of Hamptons’ target audiences in the individual locations. This was combined with detailed in-market research, which revealed the latest property trends that would affect not only search but also conversion.

Since the launch of the campaign, visitor numbers have dramatically increased by over 15,000 unique visitors per month. Rankings on Google.co.uk:
