What they needed

The brief

01
Boost Bridal Appointments in the Hitchin Boutique
Morgan Davies Bridal approached Xanthos with a clear goal: to increase the number of high-quality bridal appointments at its Hitchin location. Despite its reputation for offering designer wedding gowns and exceptional service, appointment numbers had begun to decline. The brief required a focused local marketing strategy that would drive qualified traffic to the booking pages and convert browsing brides into confirmed appointments.
02
Refine Google Ads Strategy for Maximum ROI
The boutique was investing in paid advertising but not seeing a strong return. Xanthos was tasked with restructuring and optimising the Google Ads account to improve visibility for key search terms such as bridal boutiques in Hitchin, luxury wedding dresses UK, and bridal fittings Hertfordshire. The objective was to reduce wasted ad spend, increase relevant clicks, and achieve a measurable rise in bookings directly attributed to ad campaigns.
03
Enhance Local Search Visibility and Brand Awareness
Competition in the Hertfordshire bridal market is strong, and Morgan Davies Bridal needed to stand out as the go-to destination for luxury designer wedding gowns. The brief included improving organic search performance and local visibility in Google Maps, helping potential brides discover the Hitchin boutique through both search and paid channels. This required strengthening brand presence and ensuring consistent visibility across all digital touchpoints.
04
Promote In-Store Events and Special Occasions
Another key objective was to generate awareness and attendance for boutique events, such as bridal trunk shows and exclusive designer showcases. The brief called for strategic campaign support that combined online advertising and content marketing to increase event exposure, attract local brides, and reinforce the boutique’s position as a leading luxury bridal destination in the region.

What we did

The solution

Xanthos developed and executed a targeted Google Ads strategy designed specifically to increase bridal appointment bookings for the Hitchin boutique. The campaign focused on reaching brides actively searching online for designer wedding gowns, fittings, and boutique experiences in Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. By leveraging advanced audience targeting, location-based bidding, and carefully selected high-intent keywords, the campaign ensured Morgan Davies Bridal’s ads were displayed to the right users at precisely the right time in their wedding planning journey.

To maximise visibility and return on ad spend, Xanthos restructured the account into tightly focused ad groups, improved ad relevance through refined keyword alignment, and implemented tailored ad copy highlighting Morgan Davies Bridal’s luxury service, exclusive designers, and one-to-one appointments. Regular A/B testing and ongoing performance monitoring allowed continuous optimisation, ensuring the campaign evolved with search trends and seasonal demand.

Alongside paid advertising, we refined tracking and reporting to ensure complete transparency and actionable insight into campaign performance. This data-driven approach provided Morgan Davies Bridal with a clear understanding of which keywords, audiences, and ad creatives were delivering the strongest results — empowering informed decisions and sustainable growth in bridal bookings.
