Timbermat is the UK’s leading expert in temporary access solutions.
Translation: when construction teams, civil engineers, or heavy-duty machinery need solid ground beneath them, Timbermat are the people who stop things sinking, literally.
They supply hardwood crane mats, temporary roadways, bog mats and access systems for major infrastructure, utilities, construction and environmental projects across the UK and Europe.
Great reputation offline.
But online? Their competitors were stomping all over the SERPs.
Add into the mix that we’ve been working with Timbermat for over 15 years.
Timbermat came to us with a clear challenge: their products were incredible, their service was exceptional… but their online visibility said otherwise.
Their audience: construction companies, contractors, civil engineers, groundworkers and site managers, don’t browse for fun. They search with urgency, budget, and machinery on standby.
So Timbermat needed:
- Higher visibility
- Better rankings
- More high-quality enquiries
- And a website that matched the strength of the products
Competitors were dominating the search space, often with less experience and lower-quality solutions. Time for an upgrade.
Goals and objectives
We focused on goals that would actually move the needle:
- Increase organic search visibility
- Improve rankings for high-intent, product-led keywords
- Drive more relevant enquiries from UK and European construction sectors
- Strengthen Timbermat’s position as the authoritative supplier in their industry
No vanity metrics, just results their sales team could feel.
The world of temporary access isn’t glamorous (unless you really love timber), but the competition is fierce.
-
The audience
A highly commercial audience who only care about solutions, speed and durability
-
The environment
Industry terminology that varies by region (“bog mats”, “crane mats”, “temporary roadways”, all meaning different things to different users)
-
The complication
A product set where differences are subtle but search intent is everything
-
The Competitors
Competitors with aggressive SEO tactics
We engineered a strategy built on clarity, authority and strategic content, no fluff, no filler, no wasted effort.
1. Technical SEO to lay the groundwork
We ensured search engines could fully understand and index Timbermat’s product range, restructuring pages to reflect real user search patterns.
2. A content strategy that understood the industry
We created and optimised pages around:
- crane mats
- bog mats
- temporary access roads
- sectors and use cases
- environmental requirements
- load-bearing and technical specs
Every page was designed to answer a real problem construction buyers face and position Timbermat as the safest pair of hands on the market.
3. Keyword targeting grounded in commercial intent
We didn’t chase traffic for the sake of it. We targeted the keywords that result in actual enquiries from high-value contractors.
4. Ongoing optimisation and collaboration
SEO isn’t a one-and-done job, especially in a competitive niche. So we worked with Timbermat continuously, refining, improving and identifying new opportunities.
