The Situation

When a long-time employee bought the company, Murphy Rigging, which was formerly a part of Murphy Warehouse Company (Murphy Logistics), faced the need to separate their marketing initiatives. The new owner turned to BizMatchery to help him establish his own business identity in the digital realm. 

While part of Murphy Logistics, much of Murphy Rigging’s business was funneled through the senior company’s existing marketing efforts. This meant that, apart from Murphy Logistics’ efforts, a unique strategy was required to help Murphy Rigging establish itself in the rigging and millwright industries. Before partnering with BizMatchery, Murphy Rigging faced several challenges in its digital marketing efforts. The company struggled to rank prominently in search engine results, lacked visibility among its target audience, and had limited online lead generation capabilities. Recognizing the importance of a robust digital presence, Murphy Rigging sought assistance in developing a tailored strategy to address these challenges effectively.

The Solution

We began with our proprietary BizBoost custom digital marketing strategy. Through this thorough process, we were able to identify the many ways the rigging site had grown stagnant and was failing to reach its ideal target audience. We began by conducting exhaustive keyword research. This involved identifying keywords relevant to Murphy Rigging’s industry, services, and target audience. By delving into the search intent of potential customers, the team pinpointed high-potential keywords with substantial search volume and manageable competition. These keywords served as the cornerstone of Murphy Rigging’s SEO strategy, guiding subsequent content creation and optimization efforts.

Next, thorough competitor research was conducted to gain insights into industry trends and effective tactics. Analyzing competitors’ digital marketing strategies enabled BizMatchery to identify areas of opportunity and refine Murphy Rigging’s approach to outperform rivals in search engine rankings. This competitive analysis remains pivotal throughout the campaign, informing strategic decisions and ensuring Murphy Rigging maintains a competitive edge.

As part of the strategy, Murphy Rigging’s existing website content underwent meticulous evaluation and refreshment. Outdated or underperforming content was revamped and optimized to align seamlessly with target keywords, thereby enhancing relevance and maximizing its potential to rank higher in search results. Ongoing content refreshes continue to be part of the overall optimization strategy as we continue to refine their targeted organic reach.

Additionally, BizMatchery developed a content calendar for the creation of new blog posts. These posts addressed common pain points, industry trends, and frequently asked questions, positioning Murphy Rigging as a thought leader in the rigging and millwright sectors. Each post was meticulously optimized for target keywords, driving organic traffic and bolstering search engine visibility.

To further showcase Murphy Rigging’s extensive range of services, BizMatchery created new, tailored service pages. These pages provided comprehensive descriptions of services, emphasized key benefits, and featured compelling calls-to-action to encourage conversions. By expanding its online footprint with targeted service pages, Murphy Rigging effectively communicated its expertise and attracted prospects seeking specialized rigging solutions.

As traffic has increased and sales have grown, Murphy Rigging has been able to add paid media (PPC) strategies to their ongoing digital marketing work. New ad conversions have added additional leads to the funnel and positioned Murphy for ongoing success.
