Overview
Chatsworth House is a spectacular stately home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. Chatsworth estate offers 35,000 acres of beautiful land and a wide range of events within the house and gardens throughout the year.
Chatsworth began working with Digital Clarity from summer 2013 to promote exciting events and has developed into creating a new strategy to engage visitors to explore the English heritage of Chatsworth House.
The most immediate goal was to move focus from PPC brand spend, to non brand terms with a view to engaging new visitors.
- Increase non brand relevant traffic
- Increase ticket sales online
- Increase awareness of Chatsworth House, gardens and events to families looking for days out
Strategy
Optimising a not for profit account within Google Grant limitation was a challenge. In order to shift the focus to non brand searches we first had to increase CTR’s and quality scores from landing pages in order to allow for lower CPC’s.
