Services Detail
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
During IHP's service term, a majority of SEO efforts were spent strengthening search engine results to increase brand visibility and reach. Click the examples below to see a few highlights of our results:
A rigorous search engine marketing campaign yielded dominant rankings for all major and most minor keywords in the form of top-3 / top-5 / and top-10 rankings depending on market saturation-- thereby strengthening brand reach in a narrow and competitive market.
Web Design
When we began service with IHP, we reflected on the work from previous design and marketing vendors, being sure not to disrupt successful efforts while taking consideration of weak areas. Preliminary assessments revealed that while some tasks were done right (even very well), some things were definitely missed, and that's what got our attention-- the "little things" that, if they were dont right the first time, the website would be a lot stronger both functionally and aesthetically.
For a little over a year, collaborative efforts focused on specific target areas that both the IHP team and website analytics data considered weak points to improve on. Targeted redesign efforts later yielded enhanced user experience, content flow, and clearer calls to action.
Service Highlights:
- Migration away from HubSpot platform, improving blog authority and in-house maintenance of posts.
- Improved Onsite SEO (stronger meta data, internal linking, rich content and data, etc.).
- Custom designed branding assets including testimonials and infographics.
- Integration of GetResponse forms, clearer calls to action for website visitors.
- Improved user flow and brand messaging site-wide, expanded company narrative to website visitors.
- Removal of Google Penalties for duplicate and lean content.
- Replacement of old stock images with licensed copies.

LinkedIn Advertising & Lead Generation
LinkedIn Cost-Per-Click (CPC) advertising efforts for IHP, overall, outperformed LinkedIn's recommend CTR averages by a significant margin.
Click-Through-Rates (CTR) for all campaigns averaged at .41, more than 16x better than the LinkedIn recommended CTR at .025. The top campaign performed at .91 CTR, more than 36x better than the LinkedIn CTR average.
We attribute the success of IHP's LinkedIn Ads to the following:
- Knowing who to target on LinkedIn by means of audience research and reviwing prior success models. Understanding your audience means you know what they want, and how to communicate to them.
- Knowing how much to bid on ads, and how to scale them up. By far the largest area for error for many businesses is not knowing how much capital to invest on starting bids, and then not knowing how to scale successful ads for maximum ROI. With our strategy, we were able to maximize engagement metrics while maintaining the lowest possible ad spend.
- Watching and assessing successful ads and failures. Another mistake many businesses make is they try to "force" ads on the customer, or they don't know when to "let go" and try different angles with their advertising. With our strategy, we targeted ideal customers and placed emphasized education and starting a conversation with the brand instead of the "buy now" strategy a lot of businesses fail with.
Conclusion
With a monthly contract, Straub Creative Company was able to achieve dominant search engine rankings in a narrow, saturated market; improve brand communications with new and redesigned collateral; and increase lead generation efforts online via top SERP positions and high-engagement ads.

What is SEO?
Matt Cutts, a software engineer and head of Google's Webspam team, discusses how Google Search works.
...And How Does It Work?
When you type out a question or some keywords in Google Search, how do you think Google filters the best results for your query? It's no secret that Google uses a complex algorithm for it's Search feature, however, you may notice that certain websites show up a lot more favorably than others do on Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). This is because Google "favors" these websites moreso than others, and likely chances are, these websites are already optimized for search engines.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a marketing process that takes advantage of specific metrics search engines use to determine how information is listed on SERPs. Websites that show up more consistently and higher on search listings usually have higher SEO scores than websites that are not optimized properly. The ultimate goal for any SEO campaign is to increase brand visibility so the brand can generate more organic traffic, and by association, generate more high-quality leads for the business.
The #1 spot on Google takes 35% of all web traffic in their niche
By having your website read higher on search listings, you can acquire leads that are already looking for you. SEO is a long-term, low risk / high reward marketing strategy, which, on average, not only pays for itself over time but also has the potential to keep working for you long after campaigns are over.

If you're here now reading this, you understand that the future of your business is online.

You have a suspicion that there's more out there for you, and you're not wrong- you've actually come to the right place.
We're inviting you to take advantage of our knowledge.
In our own pursuits for success, we've learned what works and what doesn't. The big secret in the online world is that there is no such thing as scarcity. There are over 7 billion people on the planet, and over 350 million in America alone.

Every single service offered on this website integrates with all of the other services, like a giant spider web.
A well-made design cannot be as effective without generating traffic, and likewise, generating traffic alone isn't as effective with poorly made designs or clear calls to action. Save time, money, and effort by getting everything done right, the first time.
