Campaign Context

A Custom SEO Campaign for a Rapidly Changing Workplace Market

The campaign began in June 2020, when companies were urgently searching for ways to manage distancing, shared workspaces, flexible seating and controlled office access. DeskFlex already offered relevant workplace-management solutions, creating a strong opportunity to capture this growing commercial demand.

  • Office hoteling and hot-desking software
  • Desk and room reservation systems
  • Workplace and office-management solutions
02

Core Solution Page Visibility

SEO activity supported the homepage and relevant solution pages across connected commercial search themes.

  • Homepage visibility for broad software terms

03

Multi-Market Search Coverage

The campaign developed visibility across more than one national market and multiple workplace-software terminology variations.

Market context: the campaign coincided with rapidly increasing demand for desk booking, office hoteling, room scheduling, flexible workspace coordination and safer return-to-office processes.
