Case Study at a Glance

The Challenge 

Worthwhile Event Services wanted its website to attract more people searching for the specific staffing services and event professionals it provides—not just generate traffic from broad staffing-related searches. 

The Solution 

Worthwhile partnered with Haley Marketing to refine its search strategy, create targeted SEO pages and answer more of the questions prospective clients and candidates ask online. 

The Results 

  • 92.3% increase in engaged sessions 
  • 204.1% increase in homepage visits 
  • 46.0% increase in organic search sessions 
  • 85% increase in search click-through rate 

Client Background and Challenges 

Worthwhile Event Services provides professional event staffing throughout New York City and surrounding areas. Its teams include event captains, bartenders, catering staff and brand ambassadors who support caterers, event organizers, brands and private hosts.  

Worthwhile relies on its website to connect with two important audiences: organizations looking for dependable event professionals and people interested in working in event staffing or brand ambassador roles. 

During the first quarter, the website’s search strategy focused largely on broad, high-volume staffing terms. Traffic was steady, but those general searches did not always align closely with the roles, services and markets Worthwhile wanted to promote. 

The goal was not simply to attract more website visitors. Worthwhile wanted to become more visible when prospective clients and candidates searched for the specific event staffing solutions the company provides. 

The Solution 

A More Focused Search Strategy 

Worthwhile moved from its traditional SEO program to RogIQ Guided, combining strategic direction with a more scalable approach to content creation and optimization. 

Instead of placing the greatest emphasis on broad staffing keywords, the strategy focused on the specific terms prospective clients and candidates were more likely to use when looking for Worthwhile’s services. 

These included searches related to: 

  • Professional event staffing 
  • Brand ambassadors 
  • Bartenders and catering staff 
  • Event captains 
  • Specific services and geographic markets 

This shift helped Worthwhile concentrate its visibility on searches that more closely matched what the company offers. 

Targeted Talent Pages 

Haley Marketing used programmatic SEO Talent Pages to create content around Worthwhile’s priority services, positions and markets. 

Rather than relying on a small number of general website pages, the strategy gave Worthwhile more opportunities to appear when someone searched for a specific type of event professional or staffing solution. Haley Marketing’s Talent Pages are designed to expand search visibility through targeted, search-optimized website content.  

Helpful FAQ Content 

The team also added frequently asked questions to key pages throughout the website. 

These FAQs answered common questions from prospective clients and candidates while helping search engines better understand the topics and services covered on each page. 

The content was created and added without increasing Worthwhile’s day-to-day marketing workload. 

The Results 

After we implemented the new strategy, every core website engagement metric included in the analysis improved from Q1 to Q2. 

Website Engagement Nearly Doubled 

Engaged sessions increased from 1,230 in Q1 to 2,365 in Q2, a 92.3% quarter-over-quarter increase

Other engagement metrics also improved: 

Website Metric Q1 Q2 Change 
Engaged sessions 1,230 2,365 +92.3% 
Website interactions 13,456 24,365 +81.1% 
Direct sessions 1,569 1,890 +20.5% 
Organic search sessions 863 1,260 +46.0% 

Key Website Pages Saw Significant Growth 

The pages most closely connected to Worthwhile’s primary services recorded some of the largest gains. 

Homepage visits increased from 1,230 to 3,741, representing a 204.1% increase. In other words, homepage traffic more than tripled in one quarter. 

Website Page Q1 Visits Q2 Visits Change 
Worthwhile homepage 1,230 3,741 +204.1% 
Professional Event Services 789 1,580 +100.3% 
Contact page 273 376 +37.7% 

Visits to the Professional Event Services page more than doubled, while the Contact page saw a 37.7% increase

More Searchers Chose Worthwhile 

Google Search Console data showed that Worthwhile appeared in fewer searches overall—but earned substantially more clicks. 

Search Metric Q1 Q2 Change 
Total clicks 637 870 +36.6% 
Total impressions 43,350 31,950 –26.3% 
Click-through rate 1.47% 2.72% +85% 

Although total search impressions declined 26.3%, clicks increased 36.6% and the click-through rate rose from 1.47% to 2.72%

That pattern suggests Worthwhile was appearing in fewer broad, less-relevant searches while earning more visits when its listings did appear. Searchers were more likely to see Worthwhile’s result as relevant to what they needed—and click through to the website. 

The Takeaway for Staffing Firms 

Worthwhile’s results demonstrate the value of combining a focused search strategy with consistent content execution. 

By building website content around specific roles, services and markets, Worthwhile: 

  • Nearly doubled engaged website sessions 
  • Increased organic search traffic 
  • More than tripled homepage visits 
  • Earned more Google clicks from fewer overall search appearances 
  • Expanded its website without adding work for its internal team 

The strategy did not simply pursue the highest possible search volume. It helped Worthwhile attract traffic that more closely aligned with the staffing services and opportunities it wanted to promote.
