Castings Drainage
BACKGROUND

Castings Drainage, a long-established supplier of drainage products in the UK, had no online sales, no digital presence, and no marketing activity prior to partnering with Digital House. Their previous website functioned only as a static brochure, with customers needing to call to place orders.

In early 2024, the business approached Digital House wanting to modernise operations, increase sales, and reach new customers. The owner initially said he would be happy if the new website could “just get one order a day.”

In May 2024, Digital House launched a fully-featured eCommerce platform integrated with Sage accounting. The transformation was immediate — and extraordinary.

CHALLENGE
  • No Online Sales Capability: Castings Drainage had never taken a single online order.
  • No Digital Marketing or SEO: The business had zero visibility on Google and no online lead generation.
  • Manual Operations: All orders were processed manually, creating delays and admin bottlenecks.
  • A Need for Immediate Sales: With no digital presence, the business required fast results and reliable revenue growth.
SOLUTION

1. Full eCommerce Website Development & Automation:

  • Custom-Built WordPress & WooCommerce Platform: Designed for speed, professionalism, and conversion.
  • Complete Product Catalogue Upload: The entire product range was structured, uploaded, and optimised.
  • Sage Integration: Every order now syncs automatically into Sage, eliminating manual entry and improving accuracy.
  • Integrated Shipping Options: Fully aligned with weight-based and region-based delivery rules.
  • Conversion-Focused Page Layouts: Modern design, clear CTAs, and a frictionless checkout.

2. Google Ads Campaigns for Immediate Sales:

Highly targeted Google Ads campaigns were launched to attract commercial buyers searching for drainage products. These ads drove qualified traffic immediately, accelerating revenue growth while SEO built long-term visibility.

3. Full SEO Strategy for Organic Growth:

SEO optimisation was implemented across category pages, product pages, metadata, and site performance. This resulted in exceptionally high Google rankings and strong ongoing organic traffic.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

We had no online system and no marketing before this. Digital House built everything from scratch — the website, the automation, the SEO, the ads. We were hoping for one order a day.
