The Challenge
Before switching to PinMeTo, AVIA had tried another local search marketing tool but the following online visibility challenges still remained unresolved.
1. Low Brand Loyalty of Motorists
Increasing AVIA’s petrol stations’ visibility in local search results was the primary challenge, especially given the low brand loyalty of motorists on the road.
2. Review Management of Various Markets
Managing the reputation of a vast number of stations across Switzerland, Austria, Germany as well as other EU markets was timely and error-prone while managed manually.
3. Information Management
Keeping key business information such as the addresses and opening hours of each station accurate and consistent was another challenge for AVIA.
AVIA used a suite of PinMeTo’s Local Marketing tools to automate local SEO & reputation management processes, with PinMeTo Listings as their primary solution for a better digital location management system.
The PinMeTo Conversations tool was used to monitor and respond to all customer reviews and interactions as well as increasing customer satisfaction and trust towards their brand.
Step 1: Centralised Listings Control
PinMeTo Listings enabled AVIA to ensure data accuracy across all locations and markets. With bulk information updates and error notifications, all listings were now kept updated and consistent for their petrol stations optimisation.
Step 2: Adopting Centralised Reputation Management
With the importance of reviews in users’ decision making, PinMeTo’s Conversations facilitated AVIA to give timely responses and enhance their customers’ trust towards the brand.
Step 3: Engagement Analytics
PinMeTo’s Analytics Dashboard provided AVIA with insights into customer engagement patterns that allowed for better local marketing strategy formulation tailored to each local market.
We’ve received a customized offer, suitable for the organizational structure of AVIA, and the customer support was very helpful and friendly. As a result, we’ve got higher click rates and visibility on Google.
