Curated Digital has used the following skills/services in the project.
HERE’S HOW WE DID IT
To kick off, Curated reviewed all current & past digital activity that The Formations Company had run. Whilst our audit found that the website featured a lot of informational content which helped with rankings & organic traffic, there was a lack of Calls To Action. Curated also found structural & UX changed which needed to be fixed to maximise site performance. Further to this, our audit found that there was wasted spend being spent on search channels & this presented an opportunity to focus on other areas.
In a highly competitive search market, with ambitious cost per acquisition targets, The Formations Company needed to be responsive to the constant changes in the market. Curated introduced a mixture of Rules & Automated Bidding in the Paid Search accounts which resulted in bids & budgets being updated on a daily basis. This resulted in PPC channels seeing a 14% decrease in CPA in 2020 by focusing on the searches which were converting.
The impact of Covid-19 & lockdown had a great impact on the Company Formation market, with large numbers of brands competing for a smaller overall market. Curated supported The Formations Company throughout this time with regular trend analysis, reporting & forecasting. This enabled us to be prepared for all possible turns & remain at the forefront of the market from a digital perspective.

Whilst spend was reduced, and the market size was smaller, Curated supported TFC in reaching higher value customers. Through audience changes, display remarketing & lookalike campaigns we were able to drive a 12.5% increase in average sale value.
Overall, in a challenging year which has had an impact on customers starting up businesses, The Formations Company have seen an uplift in site revenue whilst spending over 20% less year on year.
