Motionlab Creates Contemporary New Website For MSL Interiors

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

The new site has been designed to further promote MSL’s extensive mix of contemporary office furniture solutions. Created using the latest web technologies, the site showcases MSL’s innovative product range with a clean and neutral style.

London-based MSL Interiors source exceptional reception desk, seating and table designs from a selection of leading European manufacturers and each item within their eclectic collection has been given due prominence on the site thanks to the hard work of our talented team of designers.

MSL, whose past clients include the BBC, ITV and HSBC, commissioned us to redesign their existing site and rebrand their email marketing. We have ensured that the site replicates the unique experience people can expect when they visit MSL’s expansive London showroom.

The site www.msl-interiors.co.uk has been built with integrated social media and we will also now be managing MSL’s SEO and PPC accounts in a push to give the new website increased exposure on all the major search engines.

Mike Laking, Managing Director of MSL Interiors added:  “Your business website is the global window to the world and as such investing in a new website, deciding on who should build it and subsequently look after it, is always an anxious and apprehensive process. From our first meeting with Motionlab, we felt confident that they possessed the creative flair and technical competence to deliver just what was needed!

We haven’t been disappointed and we really are exceptionally pleased with the new website and more importantly, so are our customers and prospective customers alike. Although we are in the early stages of SEO, the Motionlab team has this well in hand and I confidently look forward to being overwhelmed with orders and enquiries!”

Motionlab Helps Home Improvement Clients Buck The Trend

Friday, April 1st, 2011

The months of January and February have seen many companies involved in the home improvement sector reporting lower than expected lead volumes in comparison to the same period in 2010. This is far from the case when it comes to the client base of Motionlab Marketing, one of the North’s leading digital agencies.

The Conservatory Outlet dealership experienced an unprecedented 179% increase in the number of leads it received regards conservatories, windows and doors during the months of January and February in 2011 compared to the beginning of last year. One network member even managed to attract an incredible 344% rise in leads received.

These exceptional figures have been achieved following the recent re-design of many of the network’s websites by Motionlab’s web design team.

Motionlab’s SEO and PPC departments have also had their part to play by helping increase visitor numbers to each individual website and the main Conservatory Outlet website currently ranks at number one for the terms ‘conservatory’ and ‘conservatories’ in the major search engines.

But the success stories don’t end there. Kitchen and bedroom specialists Betta Living have also benefitted from an 18% increase in online enquiries and soundproofing experts Acoustic Supplies have had a mammoth growth in leads of 126% in contrast to the first two months of 2010. Both companies’ successes have also coincided with recent restyling’s of their websites by Motionlab.

If your company is similarly looking to improve upon current leads and sales figures in a struggling market, please call Motionlab on 01772 865050.

Are you local?

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Google are currently in the process of testing out an updated version of local search, with greater integration of Google Places into the search results. Google Places is essentially a local listing page where companies have the option to upload useful information like their address, logo and mission statement, along with user generated reviews and related listings. This did not come as a huge surprise, as Google have been quite evangelical about their efforts to improve local search. However, you do have to question if they’ve hit the nail on the head this time.

Below is the current view, where as you can see the local results map and Google Places pages appear above the normal search results.

Normal search results

However, in the new layout the map appears above the sponsored listings with the Google Place listing appearing in the main search results beneath the organic result.

New local search results

Now we believe this is only a trial at the moment, as it only appears occasionally, and we can most likely expect a number of variations along this theme as time progresses. I personally very much doubt this would be the finished article as the map has a fixed position relative to the screen that blocks out the sponsored listings on the right when you scroll down (see below). However, our PPC team think it’s more likely to push up the cost of adverting in the purple listing box at the top of the page.

Local search map blocking sponsored listings

If it does become standard, then I would imagine the main SEO implication would be to ensure you have an up to date Google Places listing, if only to take advantage of the prominence your search result gains through the addition of a red bubble and company logo.

It will be very interesting to see if this sticks over the following weeks and months, and I for one will be keeping a close eye out for further enhancements.

So when it came to creating and marketing a new website Housemaster Home Improvements based in Hertfordshire – Motionlab were the natural choice.
