Dominating Search in the Energy Sector

The Challenge

BP aimed to reinforce its position as an authority in the energy sector while ensuring a unified, powerful message across both SEO and SEM channels. Facing increasing competition and a rapidly evolving market, BP encountered several critical issues:

  • Fragmented Brand Messaging: Inconsistent communication between paid and organic campaigns led to brand ambiguity, lowering conversion rates and weakening BP’s market presence.
  • Missed Visibility Targets: Key industry keywords failed to achieve target visibility, affecting organic reach and ad quality scores, and impacting BP’s ability to attract high-intent audiences.
  • Competitor Encroachment: Competitors in both Google Ads and organic search were capturing critical market share on high-value terms, limiting BP’s ability to dominate search results.

To succeed, BP required a strategic SEO and SEM alignment that could streamline messaging, improve keyword rankings, and maximize its share of search in the highly competitive energy space.
