First Gate Enterprises

client background

When I started in May 2023, there was no digital media ​presence.

First Gate aimed to increase its brand visibility and ​recognition while attracting potential clients and ​converting them into leads.


client problem

First Gate needed to increase its brand awareness and ​generate more leads. Their initial one-page website was ​insufficient for market competition, and they lacked a ​comprehensive marketing strategy to reach and engage ​their target audience effectively.

The strategy,

lets get into it.

may ‘23

Conducted market research to establish a target audience and marketing strategy. ​Based on research I executed a website optimization strategy for a construction ​industry client, resulting in an increase in website size for high SEO Ranking.

This strategy targeted corporate clients based on market research and included:

  • Lead generation: Implemented CTAs on the landing page to capture leads.
  • Content marketing: Introduced niche service descriptions, client testimonials, ​and blog posts addressing potential client questions.
  • Social proof: Displayed projects on the website to enhance credibility and ​engagement.
  • Presented social media strategy
