Emerson Cranes Challenge

Building a stronger online presence for the UK's leading crane hire specialists.

Emerson Cranes is the leading crane hire company in both London and the South of the UK. Known for being expert lifting specialists, they offer both crane and contract lift hire.

They first approached Vooba in 2018 to help build a stronger online presence within their industry and generate consistent leads. The challenge was to create a joined-up digital strategy across social media, paid search, and organic search — all working together to drive measurable results.

Our Strategy

To drive crane hire conversions, Vooba launched targeted PPC, SEO, and social campaigns focused on brand building, retargeting, and performance — strengthened by a monthly newsletter, the Emerson Echo.
