Results Spotlight: 14.3% CTR in Just 3 Months
The Challenge:
Full Strap & Stringer built a sterling reputation guiding waterfowl hunts on Historic Catahoula Lake since the 1970s, but their website told a different story.
It was difficult to navigate, failed to reflect the premium outdoor experience they offer, and missed opportunities to convert visitors into bookings.
Without a user‑friendly site or clear digital presence, Full Strap & Stringer struggled to attract new customers beyond word‑of‑mouth referrals.
The Solution:
The Ugly Mug Marketing team delivered a full web overhaul paired with targeted digital marketing tactics to elevate visibility and drive engagement:
- Website Redesign: Crafted an intuitive layout with clear calls‑to‑action and streamlined navigation to showcase hunting packages and cabin rentals.
- Content Optimization: Developed concise, benefit‑focused copy and optimized page structure for search intent.
- Technical SEO:Â Improved site speed, mobile responsiveness, and implemented schema markup to boost search engine indexing.
- Performance Tracking:Â Established dashboard reporting on clicks, impressions, CTR, and average ranking to guide ongoing optimization.
- Integrated Campaigns:Â Launched coordinated social ads and email outreach to drive qualified traffic to the new site.
The Results:
In just three months, Full Strap & Stringer achieved measurable growth across every key metric:
- Average Ranking shot up to 7th position in search results
- Click‑Through Rate grew to 14.3% on organic listings
- Total Impressions boomed to over 1,300
