Slide 27: Case Studies Asterion Hotel Case Study Client: Asterion Hotel is a 4-star resort Hotel in Pyrgos Psilonerou, in Platanias, Chania, Crete, ideal for family summer vacation. Challenge: They wanted to increase their website’s traffic and respective on line bookings while on the other hand we had to convince them to trust SEO techniques in order to achieve their goal. They had never trusted an SEO company before and there was a lot of skepticism regarding the return on investment which we had to overcome. Solutions: We presented them an initial research concerning their website, the procedure and the respective timetable that we were about to implement and we started working. Results: We managed to improve their website's traffic and succeed some first page rankings within the first 2-3 months. The return on investment was amazing: they increased their website's traffic and respective on line bookings 150% and goes on. Now, we have established long term cooperation and as Mr. Alexakis say: "That is why we keep on with Rankings and we unconditionally recommend it. In fact we have already done". www.rankings.gr
Slide 28: Client: Esplanade Apartments, located in Kalathas area, only 9 Khm away from the city of Chania, Crete, is ideal for dream summer vacation Challenge: Mr. Perakis was informed of SEO techniques and he had some Search Engine Marketing attempts, but he needed a lot more. We were told that he heard about Rankings accidentally and although he had a lot of reservations, after our presentation he decided to proceed. The time of response regarding the return of investment was narrow. We started last March and we had to manage not only in getting high rankings for Esplanade but to turn them in on line bookings in such a short time in the middle of a full summer season. Solutions: Having completed our research we presented them the procedure’s framework setting out priorities and respective actions to be made. Results: Within four months we managed to effectively increase their website’s traffic while the return on investment was quite satisfactory given that it was a hard task to achieve due to time limits. We keep on working on Esplanade and we are certain that the ROI will be more than amazing this year, given the results we have already achieved. As the Hotel Manager, Mr. Perakis say: “We are already satisfied from Rankings services and we undoubtedly recommend it”. Esplanade Case Study www.rankings.gr
Slide 29: Testimonials "Asterion Hotel " Asterion Hotel is a 4-star resort Hotel in Pyrgos Psilonerou, in Platanias, Chania, Crete, ideal for family summer vacation. Given the need for raising our site’s traffic and thus increasing our bookings, we decided to trust SEO techniques in order to achieve our goal. Then we heard about Rankings that convinced us to invest in SEO and the whole procedure began. We had many reservations regarding effectiveness of SEO services but we came through this quite soon due to Rankings’ professionalism and corresponding trustworthiness. In those two Rankings did make the difference and prompted us in cooperating with its team. The whole procedure was undertaken by Rankings on the given schedule and within two months we had already an impressive outcome. The return on investment was more than amazing: we had 4 site visitors’ online bookings in 2005, we reached 54 in 2006 and we managed to reach our peak number of 125 online bookings through our web site, in 2007. We never expected such an outcome. That is why we keep on with Rankings and we unconditionally recommend Rankings. In fact we have already done.
