13 of 14 keywords on page one. Here's how.

Picture it. A homeowner finds mud tubes along the skirting board. They want an inspection, and they want it this week.

Specialist Termite Control. Expert termite inspection and treatment.

But their keywords were scattered across pages two to four. The conversion rate was low, and the Free Assessment page, their main source of leads, was underperforming.

So we ran three plays. A page for every service and treatment type. Paid search data choosing which organic keywords to chase. And every ranking routed to the Free Assessment page.

The result? 13 of 14 keywords on page one, and 9 in top positions.

Goal conversions up 38% year on year. The conversion rate more than doubled. Great news for everyone except the termites.

In their director's words: the Free Assessment page is generating real leads.

Run an urgent-service trade? Pick one conversion point, and build everything around it.

The Challenge

Specialist Termite Control provides expert termite inspection and treatment services. In pest control, ranking visibility directly correlates with booking volume — homeowners searching for termite treatment need immediate, trusted results. This campaign was managed by SEO Melbourne, Melbourne's specialist SEO agency.

The company needed to rank for highly competitive terms in the Melbourne pest control space while driving visitors to their Free Assessment page, the primary conversion point for new leads.

Termite inspection and treatment is bought under pressure. A homeowner who suspects termites wants an assessment quickly, and the Melbourne pest control results are contested by operators who all want the same handful of high-intent terms.

Specialist Termite Control provides expert inspection and treatment, and its commercial engine is the Free Assessment page: the campaign's success was defined by traffic reaching that page and booking.

That single conversion point shaped the strategy. Rankings mattered only insofar as they moved the right visitors towards an assessment.

Where the campaign started:

  • campaign keywords were scattered across pages 2 to 4, where a homeowner with an urgent problem never looks
  • the goal conversion rate was low
  • the Free Assessment page was underperforming as a destination, so even the visitors who did arrive were not consistently reaching the point where the business could help them

The business needed to rank for highly competitive terms and, at the same time, to make every ranking a path to the assessment page.

Our Approach

Targeted content writing came first: our content team created optimised pages for specific pest control services and treatment types, each built to rank for a curated keyword set.

PPC and organic were then run as one programme, with paid campaign data used to inform organic keyword priorities so that the two channels reinforced each other rather than competing for budget.

Conversion path optimisation ran through everything: the route from a search result to the Free Assessment booking was shortened and clarified so that ranking gains turned into assessments rather than page views.

  • 38%ConversionsGoal conversions up 38%
  • 2×Conversion RateGoal conversion rate doubled

The targeted approach delivered page 1 rankings for 13 of 14 campaign keywords, with 9 ranking in the top positions. Goal conversions increased 38% year-over-year, with the conversion rate more than doubling.

Visits to the critical Free Assessment page grew significantly, directly translating to more qualified leads entering the sales pipeline.

Thirteen of the 14 campaign keywords reached page 1, nine of them in the top positions. Goal conversions grew 38% year over year and the conversion rate more than doubled.

Visits to the Free Assessment page grew significantly, feeding qualified leads directly into the sales pipeline, and the Director's account is that the combined SEO and PPC strategy took nearly every keyword to page one.

A doubled conversion rate alongside a 38% conversion lift means traffic did not need to double for leads to grow; the visitors reaching the assessment page were better matched and the path was shorter.

SEO Melbourne's combined SEO and PPC strategy got nearly all our keywords to page one and our conversions increased significantly. The Free Assessment page is generating real leads.
