Overview
Boots Apotek, with a rich history extending over 160 years in pharmacy operations, has become a household name in Europe and the UK. In Norway, they operate 150+ locations, each upholding the legacy of quality and service established since John Boot opened his first pharmacy in 1849. This case study highlights how Boots Apotek in Norway used PinMeTo Listings to enhance their local visibility, ensuring brand consistency and customer care across all their locations.
A year after onboarding PinMeTo, Boots Apotek saw a boost in local visibility.
The Challenge
1. Boosting Local Visibility
To attract more customers, particularly those searching for nearby pharmacy services, Boots Apotek needed an effective location marketing strategy to stand out in local search and reach more people across Norway.
2. Centralizing Location Data and Customer Interactions
The company was dealing with fragmented management of their location data and customer interactions. Boots Apotek needed a unified platform that could handle all the elements efficiently, without the burden of excessive manual work.
Because Boots Apotek has 150+ locations all over Norway, and customers tend to evaluate their experience, it was important to us to manage each evaluation individually in one platform.

3. Streamlining Daily Marketing Operations
Boots Apotek was in search of a solution to simplify their daily marketing operations. Their goal was to enhance the effectiveness of these tasks while reducing time and effort, seeking an intuitive and straightforward tool that could streamline their workflow.
The Solution
Boots Apotek employed PinMeTo’s suite of local marketing solutions, focusing on Listings for location data management and Conversations for customer interaction.
Step 1: Gaining Full Control of Location Data with Listings
PinMeTo Listings tool allowed for bulk updates and conflict resolution across key platforms including Google Maps, Apple Maps, HERE, Waze as well as Meta (Facebook, Instagram), keeping Boots Apotek’s location data accurate and up-to-date and boosting their local visibility.
Step 2: Enhancing Customer Support with Conversations
By using Conversations’ tool features like saved replies and templates for bulk responses, Boots Apotek could handle customer interactions more efficiently. These features enabled them to provide timely and personalized responses to inquiries and reviews, keeping their customers happy while not having a huge customer support team.
Step 3: Unloading Daily Marketing Operations
Integrating PinMeTo into their daily operations, Boots Apotek empowered their marketing team to use these tools effectively in their day to day local marketing operations, focusing not just on numbers but on enhancing daily work habits and marketing efficiency.
In our everyday activity we answer each review and comment through the Conversations tool. I do find interesting and really helpful the ability of managing all the conversations together. Because we are managing the comments in each of our stores individually, PinMeTo gives us the ability to do that easily and effectively.
