Growthack Wins ‘Stand Out B2B SEO Campaign of the Year’ for Buyer-led Growth Strategy

In May 2023, Growthack partnered with elementsuite, an AI-enabled HR and workforce management software provider for enterprise businesses, to transform a stagnant website into a powerful lead-generation engine. Despite working with household names like McDonald’s, Travelodge and Roadchef, the business wasn’t attracting the right level of inbound demand or ranking for key commercial terms.

Positioning for growth, not just traffic

Their brief was clear: reposition the company as a leader in the enterprise HR software space and generate marketing-qualified leads, primarily from organic search.

What the client says

“Our work with Growthack was about much more than just SEO – it was about truly understanding our buyers and bringing our brand to life in a way that resonated with them. By mapping out key personas and creating a content strategy that spoke directly to our audience’s needs, we transformed our website into a vehicle for growth.”

Victoria Beaven, Head of Marketing, elementsuite

Targeting the right buyers

elementsuite serves large, complex businesses with distributed workforces — hospitality chains, manufacturers, and retailers with thousands of hourly-paid staff.

“We began with a two-day, on-site stakeholder workshop involving Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and the C-Suite. We built a strategic foundation for a full website rebuild and a search-led growth strategy from this.”

Kevin Kapezi, Director of Growthack

Aligning SEO with messaging, UX and sales

We overhauled the entire online experience through a phased, buyer-led process:

1. Foundation strategy

  • Mapped out detailed buyer personas
  • Defined messaging architecture for each product and persona
  • Prioritised commercial terms like “enterprise HR software” and “enterprise WFM”

2. Website restructure

  • Developed sitemap and UX flow based on research
  • Reorganised site architecture around pain points and capabilities
  • Created new pages focused on solution fit, AI innovation, and industry needs

3. Creative execution

  • Built interactive Figma prototypes with the web agency
  • Integrated SEO copy, brand voice and conversion best practices
  • Launched a fully redesigned site in November 2023 with our web development partners

Results

“It’s hard to find the words to describe all the effort that has gone into working with elementsuite. We went far beyond the usual SEO tactics and went all in on brand, positioning, product, etc., while fully immersing ourselves in the process.”

  • 84 MQLs directly from SEO: Tracked via dedicated organic landing pages and confirmed weekly in CRM and sales alignment calls.
  • +123% organic sessions in 12 months: 100+ content briefs tied to ICP needs and sales enablement goals
  • Conversion rate increased from 0.59% to 1.35%: Website strategy overhauled, brand realigned, and UX improved
  • Zero to 48 commercial keywords now ranking on page 1: Frequently appearing for relevant “enterprise” terms
  • 4x enterprise deals closed from SEO, each worth 6-figure sums: Acquisition in January 2025 with SEO, content and brand cited as key drivers

What the judges said

“The campaign demonstrates a strong strategic approach, aligning SEO with business growth beyond standard keyword rankings. The positioning and audience segmentation are well thought out, and the results achieved within 18 months are outstanding, including a direct impact on lead generation and revenue.”
