04 / Why it worked

The honest reason this campaign moved the needle

Covering five regional centres in one campaign is a harder brief than a single-city rollout, so the strategy prioritised building strong, location-specific pages for each town rather than one generic regional page trying to cover all of them.

Within the first 3 months, that approach has already put Seareal on the first three pages of Google for every tracked keyword, with several location-based terms already leading page one, entirely through organic search.
