The Client approached BlueMagnet in early 2024 with the goal of elevating its
digital presence, educating its audience on business rescue as an alternative to
insolvency, and positioning the brand as a trusted authority in a niche and often
misunderstood space.

With a need to compete against high-authority legal and advisory firms, the client
required a digital strategy that could build credibility, drive engagement, and
generate qualified leads. BlueMagnet implemented a hybrid digital marketing
strategy that included SEO, content strategy, paid search, and website
optimisation.

Within five months, the client experienced a 200% increase in keyword rankings, a
54% growth in organic traffic, and a 95% rise in key conversions. Domain authority
increased by 38%, and core service pages achieved up to 96% engagement.
These results highlight the power of a well-structured digital foundation, supported
by consistent content and targeted search marketing, in driving real growth—even
in competitive, low-awareness markets.
