BS3 Ltd is a specialist Mercedes mechanic garage located in Bristol. They focus on providing high-quality, specialised services for Mercedes vehicles, positioning themselves as experts in the region. The company has ambitions to become the leading Mercedes specialist in the South West, offering expert repairs and servicing to customers throughout Bristol and beyond.

SEO
BS3 Ltd wanted to see an increase in phone calls and contact form bookings for their Mercedes repair services. They aimed to become the leading Mercedes specialist in the South West. The primary challenge was improving the visibility of their website locally (Bristol & the wider South West) and increasing conversions (phone calls and form submissions) over a 12-month period.
We were tasked with a specific KPI: Increase organic sessions and organic conversions by 100% within 12 months. But, BS3 Ltd faced stiff competition from other Mercedes garages in the region, so it was crucial to attract more business from the South West.

SEO
To achieve these objectives, we implemented a detailed SEO and content strategy focused on boosting local visibility and improving conversion rates:
Target Audience
People with Mercedes vehicles needing specialist repairs. Since customers are willing to travel for specialised services, we targeted both Bristol and the Wider South West area. So, we focused on the following key areas:
Content Creation and Blogs
We conducted keyword research to identify long-tail infromational keywords with local intent. Blogs were written on topics like ‘Most Reliable Mercedes’ to drive traffic and internally linked to landing pages.
Landing Page Optimisation
We refreshed landing pages, focusing on short-tail commercial keywords such as ‘Mercedes Services Bristol’ to capture bottom-of-the-funnel traffic.
Technical and Offsite SEO
We implemented improvements like XML sitemaps and optimised robots.txt. Additionally, we engaged in outreach for free local directories and improved Google Business Profile.
CRO (Conversion Rate Optimisation)
We noticed that topical blogs were generating traffic but not converting well. To address this, we:
- Added clear CTAs (call-to-action) throughout the blogs.
- Included internal links to relevant Mercedes service pages.
- Implemented a sticky CTA button that followed users as they scrolled.
These changes improved conversion rates significantly, particularly on the blog ‘Most Reliable Mercedes’, which saw a 148.5% increase in organic conversions.

“Digital NRG have been fantastic to work with from the start. The initial explanation about the process and what to expect as the service develops into results enabled me to make an informed choice as to how little, or how much to invest in my targeted SEO campaign. Offering an explanation that I can increase or decrease my commitment and monthly budgets. Clarity and instruction are at the forefront to help me understand the impact of the service which have led to so many great results. Luke and Bailey have been instrumental in providing this support and I cannot thank them enough for their attention to detail which has helped me grow aspects of BS3 Garage Services. The visuals used, the fun call to action statements, open questions and suggested planned campaigns have allowed us to target areas that have supported our growth and created awareness. Thank you for your friendly, expert advice which has enabled me to focus on the quality of my service.” – Mike Nichols, BS3 Garage Services
Why This Campaign Stands Out
Despite a low budget of £500 per month and a single SEO resource, the campaign’s focus on core local SEO strategies, content creation and CRO delivered substantial, measurable results. The campaign hit the initial KPIs within 5 months, leading to the development of a stretched KPI. The strategic execution and efficiency resulted in the company getting a Search Award (2024), making this campaign a standout success in a highly competitive market.
kind words.
The team at Digital NRG have been fantastic to work with. They worked hard with us to understand our business before providing a detailed strategy. Once implemented we saw some quick wins. The regular face to face reviews means we can continue to develop and identify opportunities. As a company they are truly one in a million.
We were first introduced to Digital NRG shortly before lockdown. The team at Digital NRG came to see us and really took time to understand our business and what we were looking for with the website and the ongoing SEO support.
In relation to the SEO, Digital NRG nailed what was required and pretty much as soon as we went live, we were getting enquiries through the website. I can’t recommend Jack and the team at Digital NRG highly enough, they really are great to work with.
The work they [DNRG] have done has been a transformation to the business. As a company we have moved online and we are continuing to grow month by month with our online sales. Having started on SEO, they now manage our Google Shopping & Ads since they are always looking to improve the way we get new customers. Year on year, we’ve seen conversion rates increase from 0.85% to 6.05% and their ongoing support and communication is exceptional.
After being introduced to Ian from Digital NRG I knew this was the guy we were looking for to advance our SEO campaign and grow our presence online. Ian and Alex have quickly proven their knowledge in their field which is 2nd to none, proving not only with huge growth in traffic but also there to help with other duties online that may require further in-depth knowledge. These guys are super easy to work with a friendly approach. They are there to support the growth of the business at hand.
A very professional and thorough service with attention to detail, Kian is very easy to work with and is constantly feeding us with information and results of our campaign. Kian goes out of his way to inform us of the latest news and recommendations wherever possible. We feel this service is a vital part of our business and would highly recommend it as a great investment
The work carried out by the DNRG Social team has certainly helped us grow as a business and they have driven an exceptional amount of leads since the campaigns went live. Andrew, Rob and the team are very easy to work with and nothing is too much effort for them.
We have been working with Digital NRG now for a number of years and they have been excellent. We recently have had a new main website built which is fantastic and a second one developed for our new home lift department. The service provided is first class and we look forward to working with you for the years to come as we grow as a business.
I’ve worked with DNRG for several years now, and I’d recommend them in a heartbeat. They manage our full digital activity, from Google Adwords and social media remarketing to SEO, CRM management and email marketing; and they do so for several other brands across our wider group of companies too. We get the majority of our leads from our work with DNRG. They work closely with us to understand our customers and our business, and they consistently keep us up to speed with the latest market insight and best practices for our website. They are experts in their field and our internal teams could never keep at the forefront of digital marketing like they do. The team are a pleasure to work with, down to earth, and explain everything in a simple but expert way. They are a trusted, critical extension of our team.
Digital NRG are fantastic to work with. They have experts in every aspect that makes up your entire digital and online world. Great team communication and very good when translating into a language and a level that us mere mortals understand. They’re very careful with your budget and very quick to react when one direction isn’t quite working. Always keen to make sure you’re getting good value for money. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
‘At The Aerial Man, we specialise in aerial and satellite installations for residential and business customers to receive Freeview and Freesat. We also now offer CCTV and Wifi installations. Working with the team at DNRG, we have established a great presence in the region and have found the best way to communicate with both our new and existing customers.
The DNRG teams are my friends and supporters. They never talk down or throw jargon at me and they are always happy to help. DNRG have some great new products on offer which should improve the way we communicate without customers that we plan on taking up, and we have a very exciting project in the works with them.’
The DNRG team has worked closely with us to understand our business and wide range of products, and this has been reflected within our keyword rankings and the growth of our organic and PPC revenue over the past year. Their communication is brilliant, and they are genuinely a lovely bunch to work with.
