Effective search engine optimisation and online visibility for arts organisations

By Thomas Jones

SUMMARY

The Globe is a rural arts venue based in the town of Hay-on-Wye in Powys. It’s used for live music, theatre, art exhibitions, community groups, debates, workshops and as a general cafe/restaurant. Since relaunching its website, improving its search engine optimisation, user experience and digital marketing practices, the Globe has seen a dramatic change in its online presence. This case study describes the ways in which the Globe improved its online visibility.

Objectives

  • To increase the percentage of online ticket sales 
  • To increase the geographical reach of the venue to those living in Powys and Herefordshire 
  • To engage with the local community and to provide useful information about events/groups/workshops
