background
The challenge
Llanharan Concrete, a family-run builders’ merchant and concrete supplier, has been serving customers in Cardiff and across the valleys for 60 years. Run by brothers Gino and John Cocco, they started the business in 1964 with a second-hand cement mixer and a block-making machine. Today, they operate two fully automated workshops, 10 lorries, and employ 30 staff.
Despite their strong reputation, they weren’t getting the online visibility they needed to attract more business. When their General Manager, Sam Griffin, met Carly Cheeseman, their Yell account manager, they discussed how to quickly increase leads and brand awareness. After a tailored consultation, the Accelerate digital marketing solution was launched in March 2024 to drive more business.
“Yell’s service has been fabulous! We’ve never had this kind of online visibility before. The number of calls we get has shot up, giving us more opportunities to win business. The service is fantastic – Carly keeps us in the loop every step of the way. It’s like we’ve known her for years! I would 100% recommend Yell.”
their solution
How we helped
To boost Llanharan Concrete’s online presence and generate leads, we implemented:
- Google & Bing ads – targeting ready-to-buy customers within a 25-mile radius.
- Online business profiles – listed on 58+ major platforms, including Yell, Google, Waze, Apple Maps, and Facebook.
- Ad-focused landing pages – supporting their campaigns, as their existing website was built by a family friend.
- Regular performance reviews – continuous optimisation with their dedicated account manager, Carly.
However, after a few months, the data showed that visitors were landing on the website but not converting – costing them money. They agreed to let us build a brand-new website, optimised for conversions. Later, they also added local SEO services to improve organic traffic and target key services.
