Monster Skips Case Study

West Midlands Skip Hire Marketing Success

The Challenge

Boosting Local Visibility for a Skip Hire Leader

Monster Skips, a skip hire company based in the West Midlands, partnered with Finsbury Media to increase high-quality local enquiries through SEO and Google Ads. The goal was to boost visibility for skip hire services in targeted areas like Solihull and surrounding suburbs — without overspending on low-intent traffic.

Despite offering competitive prices and reliable service, Monster Skips faced increasing competition from larger skip hire companies dominating both paid and organic search results. Their existing campaigns lacked the precision needed to capture high-intent local customers, and their website wasn’t fully optimised to convert the traffic they were getting into enquiries.

The Solution

We executed a dual-channel strategy to dominate relevant search results and generate cost-efficient leads.
Local SEO

  • Location-Based Optimisation

    Key service pages were optimised for high-volume, location-specific skip hire keywords.

  • Technical SEO Enhancements

    We improved mobile performance, load speed, and site structure for better crawlability.

  • Trusted Backlink Building

    Local citations and backlinks were secured to build authority and improve local rankings.

Google Ads (PPC)

  • Granular Ad Group Targeting

    Built tightly themed ad groups around “skip hire + location” search intent.

  • Negative Keyword Optimisation

    Continuously refined negative keyword lists to prevent budget wastage.

  • Conversion-Focused Copy

    Used persuasive ad copy and extensions to increase CTR and drive qualified leads.

The Result

1. SEO Performance
  • 211 keywords ranking in Google UK

  • 178 keywords in the top 3 positions

  • “Skip hire” moved from position 42 to position 5 in under 1 month

  • Search visibility across target areas reached 56.5%

  • Over 3,800 leads driven from targeted campaigns

  • Branded search CTRs exceeded 40%

  • Average Cost Per Lead: £4.04, with top keywords under £1.00
