Timberlook’s website and search strategy

Timberlook sells wood effect windows and doors to homeowners and through a network of installers. Its website had to help both of them find what they needed and get in touch.

In the first year, clicks from search rose by 350% and search impressions by more than 500%.

The Timberlook website gives homeowners and trade customers separate routes from the first screen, and a quick way to find an installer.

“Purplex has transformed our marketing. Not only is their communication fantastic, but the results speak for themselves - we’re generating more leads than ever before and our installers are delighted with the quality of enquiries we are passing to them.”

Amelia GaughanHead of Marketing, Affordable Window Group

What the strategy included

  • A new website matching the premium design of Timberlook’s products, with separate routes for homeowners and trade customers.
  • Location-specific landing pages.
  • Reviews and updates to existing pages to improve their visibility in search.
  • Monthly content relevant to Timberlook’s market.
  • Continuing user-experience and conversion improvements across the site.

What’s included in our SEO service

An SEO report is only useful if someone has the time to act on it. Our search specialists work alongside writers and developers, so their recommendations become changes to your website. Here’s where each part of the work shows up on a typical product page.

  • Search research

    It starts with how your customers search: the words they use, the searches that lead to the work you want and where your competitors are already being found. That decides what your website needs first.

  • Technical SEO

    Search engines need to reach, read and index every page that matters. We check your site structure, internal links, page speed and mobile performance, and find the faults that quietly hold a website back.

  • Website content

    Your most useful product details are often buried in brochures and PDFs. We bring them onto clear product, service and location pages that answer your customers’ questions and help them choose you.

  • SEO during a website rebuild

    A new website can lose the pages that are already bringing you customers. We map your existing content into the new structure, redirect old addresses and check search activity before and after launch.

  • Local search

    If you work in particular areas, you want enquiries from the places you cover. Service-area pages and genuine local projects help nearby customers find you and see that you already work in their area.

  • Authority and digital PR

    Expert articles, industry coverage and links from relevant websites give customers and search engines reasons to trust what you say.

  • Reporting

    You’ll see what’s changed in your search visibility and traffic, the enquiries that follow where your tracking can record them, and what it all means for the next piece of work.

    Analytics and measurement

The order matters more than the list. Tell us what you sell, where you work and where you want more enquiries from, and we’ll suggest where to start.

Fire Doors Complete: technical SEO and content

Fire Doors Complete trains, inspects and advises on fire doors, and wanted to be seen as the go-to authority in its field. Alongside a new website, we wrote articles around the fire door questions people search for and improved the site’s technical SEO.

Organic search traffic grew by 64% in the year to June 2024, and website users rose by 38% year on year. Average form submissions in the second year were 71% higher than in the first.

SEO for Google AI Overviews and AI Mode

There’s no separate trick for AI search. Google’s AI features draw on the same foundations as the rest of its results: useful content, accessible pages and evidence behind your claims.

Your customers use AI-generated search answers to compare products, research suppliers and narrow down their options. So the questions are practical ones. Does your website explain your products and expertise clearly, and can search engines reach the information that backs it up? We review both.

Google’s guidance doesn’t require a special AI file or separate markup for AI Overviews and AI Mode. We treat these features as part of your search strategy, without promising that your business will appear in a particular answer.

  • Useful, specific content

    Pages that answer the questions your customers actually ask, in your specialists’ words, with the detail that sets your products and services apart.

  • Pages search engines can read

    Important information on the page itself rather than locked in PDFs or images, on a fast website that search engines can crawl.

  • Evidence behind your claims

    Test results, accreditations, case studies and industry coverage that show why your answer can be trusted.

Measuring the effect of SEO changes

Search traffic rises and falls for plenty of reasons outside your control: the season, your competitors, an update to Google. When we change your website, we look for evidence of what that change achieved, so your next decision rests on more than a rising graph.

Compare the pages you changed with similar pages you didn’t, and the difference after the change is the evidence.

Purplex has presented its approach to SEO testing at brightonSEO, one of the best-known conferences in search marketing.

Questions about our SEO service

Is AI search separate from SEO?

Not for Google. Its AI features use the same core SEO foundations as its other search results, so AI search is part of your wider search strategy. Other AI services work differently, so the work depends on where your customers look for information. Nobody can guarantee your business a place in an AI answer.

How quickly should we expect results?

That depends on your website, your competition and the work required. Fixing a technical problem and building visibility for a competitive search can take very different amounts of time. We’ll talk through realistic expectations once we understand your starting point.

Can you help with SEO during a website rebuild?

Yes. We review your existing content and search performance, help plan your new structure and manage the search-related work around the move. This includes content mapping, redirects, internal links and checks after launch.

Is SEO different for manufacturers, contractors and installers?

Yes, because their customers are different. An installer usually wants enquiries for the work it does in the areas it covers. A manufacturer often needs homeowners, installers, merchants and specifiers to find and choose its products. A contractor or developer may need to be found by clients and procurement teams researching its capability. We plan the work around the customers you want to reach.

How do you report on SEO?

Reports cover the measures that matter to your business: visibility for the searches you want to be found for, the traffic that brings and the enquiries that follow, where your tracking can record them. You’ll know what the figures mean and what we’re working on next.
