BackgroundABOUT THE CLIENT
SHEEN GROUP CLIENT CASE STUDY
About Sheen Group
Sheen Panel Service has served Melbourne drivers since 1969, growing to 25 individual franchises and earning a reputation for high quality, reliable service.
To remain the number one choice for Melbourne's quality smash repairs, Sheen Group recognised the need to reach and serve their customers in the digital space.
New digital channels – particularly search traffic – were having a large impact on the industry's methods of lead generation. After searching for a digital partner, Sheen was referred to the team at Digital360.
Our task was to build the brand's online visibility across a range of product segments and locations, competing against established competitors as well as large insurance companies.
SHEEN GROUP CLIENT CASE STUDY
The challenge
After poor results from previous agencies, the client remained unconvinced of the return on investment of search engine marketing.
Sheen Group had been spending $4,000 per month on AdWords for over three years, with little-to-no success. And due to poor quality campaigns, ads and landing pages, the client’s quality Score was below 3.
Our early focus was to rebuild the client’s trust and faith in digital marketing. That meant we needed to first deliver better results on the client’s current spend of $4,000, before identifying new growth opportunities.
We took the client’s existing budget and implemented the tools recommended by Google, including conversion tracking, best practice campaigns, mobile optimised ads, keyword relevancy and responsive web design.

ServicesSTRATEGY
SHEEN GROUP CLIENT CASE STUDY
The Sheen SEO strategy combines development and technical optimisation with the creation of useful, search-optimised content.
New product pages were developed to target competitive search opportunities, while a range of resource content was created for long tail, social and awareness-building opportunities.
The result is a broad SEO strategy that targets potential customers at every stage in the buyer's journey – creating a funnel of fresh leads and a key source of growth for Sheen.
Search engine optimisation (SEO)Building a steady stream of leads
SHEEN GROUP CLIENT CASE STUDY
PPC search marketing is a critical element in the Sheen digital strategy. It boosts brand visibility in search results and drives the growth in a range of business segments, from smash repairs to towing.
The strategy is highly effective for individual franchise locations, driving new business to each store using both keyword and geo-location tactics.
The strategy is boosted by the strength of the website, and integrates with call and conversion tracking to increase the effectiveness of campaigns and reduce overall cost.
Search engine marketing (PPC)Targeting customers ready to convert
SHEEN GROUP CLIENT CASE STUDY
Lead generation and brand awareness were the key objectives for the Sheen display marketing strategy.
To meet these objectives, our marketing team developed two sets of creative and strategy – one targeting new visitors and another returning visitors.
The key was targeting Sheen's ideal demographic at critical conversion moments, delivered using a mix of static and animated creative combined with placements on premium networks.
The result has been a click-through-rate three times above average, and an increase in paid traffic by 61 per cent.
Display marketingFinding and targeting customers
SHEEN GROUP CLIENT CASE STUDY
We launched a new website for Sheen Group in 2015. The immediate goals of the site were to increase customer conversation rates, while using SEO fundamentals to build a solid base for organic search growth.
Over time, data analysis helped the team optimise site structure and develop new content and functionality – such as the highly successful 'Upload Your Smash' feature and careers pages.
The result is a site that generates new leads, assists the Group's franchisees and delivers ROI across the business.
Website developmentBuilding a solid base
SHEEN GROUP CLIENT CASE STUDY
Optimisation is a key part of the Sheen digital strategy.
Using a range of analytics and analysis tools – from heat maps to click maps, visitor recording to tracking – our data analysts selected candidates for optimisation that would deliver the highest ROI.
Often this process would uncover new opportunities for development, such as the 'Upload Your Smash' functionality.
The result is the evolution of Sheen's digital assets, delivering value for the business and generating more sales for more locations.
