background
The challenge
RSJ Funeral Directors have been a trusted part of the Liverpool community since 1870. Founded by one of the city’s oldest independent family funeral directors, the business has been passed down through five generations, continuing a tradition of compassionate care, dignity, and support.
They had been a client of Yell’s for a few years, with a website, business profiles, and Yell advertising. However, with growing competition in the local market, they wanted to take their marketing to the next level.
Their account manager, Jamie Tyrrell, conducted a full marketing audit and recommended a tailored Accelerate digital marketing solution, enhanced with additional local search engine optimisation (SEO) services.
“Exceptional support in website launch and SEO enhancement. Jamie Tyrrell has been an exceptional asset in launching our new website and advancing our company’s online presence. His expertise in SEO has been invaluable, driving significant traffic and improving our search engine rankings. Jamie’s dedication, professionalism, and insightful strategies have greatly contributed to our success. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking to enhance their digital footprint. Thank you, Jamie!”
