SEO delivers a 720% return on investment for small business lender

Liberis specialises in lending to small businesses that have been rejected by traditional lenders. Its product - a business cash advance - is a new form of lending.

The challenge

Liberis asked Receptional to promote its service. In a tough market, Receptional’s SEO campaigns had a strict ROI target (250%). We were asked to generate more enquiries, while reducing cost per acquisition (CPA).

The solution

We conducted keyword research to understand our audience and how they search for business finance.

We then laid out a plan that involved:

Building landing pages to target our most profitable keywords
Creating high-quality, well-researched content to attract links from other websites
Promoting Liberis in the business and trade press.

A small business owner looks pleased at securing a loan like one of Liberis's

We’ve developed a great relationship with Receptional. They’ve brought us into the top 1-3 positions for our target keywords.
