Our 3 step marketing mix.
At TRACE we keep things simple for our clients. We build your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) foundation and compliment it with Pay Per Click (PPC) campaigns to retarget your existing audience and prospect for new customers across social, search engine and ancillary channels. Our final step in the process is taking your winning formula and maximising profitability from your sales conversions using our customised Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) strategy.
It’s our proven three step path to success that will take your business to the next level.
1. Search Engine Optimisation.
Our custom SEO program sets the foundation of your business, increases your rankings, builds valuable traffic for you to convert to real business leads and most importantly challenges your industry competitors. Without a solid SEO foundation in place you will lose highly valuable organic search traffic from finding your site and engaging with your business. Our SEO technicians at TRACE have a proven organic SEO program that drive real results for our clients. Click through below to learn more about our SEO services.

Our custom PPC program turbocharges your sales message through targeted ad campaigns – perfect for re-targeting and driving new business. Our PPC team at TRACE work across all major search engines including Google, Bing and Yahoo as well as executing campaigns on social channels including Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. We also work on niche campaigns for Gmail, YouTube and LinkedIn. TRACE provides PPC solutions for both prospecting and retargeting across all search, social and email channels.
