Time Out Chooses Steak Media to Handle SEO
The project is part of a wider strategy to strengthen the already strong relationships with its existing online community and to attract new visitors to the sites. It is the first major UK search engine marketing activity for the online publishing group.
"The Steak Media team stands out due to their professionalism, knowledge and all importantly the results they deliver," says Garry Durston, Commercial Marketing Director, Time Out Communications. “We are looking to deeply mine 'the long tail' of search, and for that we need an agency that has the level of experience and robust performance that Steak has demonstrated with other clients. We are also looking to enhance our brand awareness online in a number of sectors." Oliver Bishop, CEO of Steak Media, commented: "We're delighted to have been signed by Time Out. Our approach will be not only to focus on the obvious, high volume generic keywords, but also to build up a solid base of traffic from long tail keywords to provide a good breadth of traffic to the site to meet Time Out's corporate objectives. We believe this approach is vital for sustainable, successful SEO campaigns, alongside working with our clients as their partners, transferring knowledge so that everybody involved is focused on the success of the campaigns."
