Renowned for its passion to reinvent the industry with its people at its heart, Clink Hostels have fast become one of the most-loved hostel companies since its fruition in 2007.
Having made waves in the hospitality industry, Clink Hotels turned their focus to creating a world class website that allows customers to easily book their next adventure and digest information about each location and its surroundings. In doing so, this would drive more traffic to the website and increase conversion.
Charged with the task to drive traffic and increase conversion, we began our project with a full website audit and competitor analysis to allow our team to create a strategy built to deliver (and exceed) the brief.
We spread the challenges posed by the project across three main areas: SEO, content, and design. These key aspects had to come together seamlessly to ensure the user journey was streamlined in order to maximise sales and traffic.
Using website analytics, heat mappings, user journey recordings and our expertise (of course), we were able to redesign key landing pages and streamline the booking process on Clink Hostels’ website to improve conversion rates.
Our responsive, mobile-first approach allowed us to focus on presenting an immersive experience to those customers on portable devices in order to increase UX and conversion rates. With a mobile-friendly design, Clink Hostels’ website is now geared up to benefit from an era of smartphone shopping from a generation that sees the world wide web as second nature.
We understand that a hostel’s website should build excitement for a much-needed adventure. Encompassing informative content, incredible imagery and a friendly tone of voice rolled into one in order to contribute to an online experience like no other.
Using our initial analysis to obtain seasonality information, most searched topics and identify gaps in content, our team of content connoisseurs crafted a strategy which incorporated a 12 month content calendar, creative campaigns, outreach opportunities and articles to engage website users.
Using the strategy, we produced a number of engaging visuals geared towards Clink Hostels’ target market, informative blog posts that build up excitement to an adventure and drafts to give their in-house team the tools they need to continue to create kick-ass content.
Our SEO experts worked closely alongside our website designers, developers and content creators in order to maximise Clink Hostels’ organic traffic and visibility on search engines. With a careful mix of content, technical and authority, we created a reliable and effective SEO strategy that continues to deliver results, even to this very day.
“The team are always incredibly supportive. We’ve worked together on several significant website projects in the last few years, and they’re always delivered on time and on-spec. We are delighted with the growth in direct bookings we’re seeing.”
