Dillmeier Glass Company teamed up with Morey Creative Studios in mid-2016. Although the commercial glass fabricator had been providing clients with pristine interior glass products for decades, it had very little online presence or authority.

Team Morey revamped its website with a new design, layout, and improved functionality. This included an intuitive navigation that enables visitors to easily find the information they’re looking for, as well as a new blog environment to educate readers about the glass and commercial construction industries.

In the two years, Dillmeier Glass Company and Morey Creative Studios have been working together, the Dillmeier Glass website has seen a dramatic increase in organic and direct traffic, as well as project inquiries.

Background

Dillmeier Glass Company draws upon 85 years of history, industry experience and expertise, having first opened its doors as a small fabrication business in Brooklyn, New York in 1933. In the decades since, Dillmeier Glass Company has become a leading manufacturer of glass applications ranging from store fixtures to glass wall systems capable of meeting the needs of customers around the globe.

Manufacturing from their 150,000-square-foot facility, Dillmeier Glass specializes in pairing the latest technology with highly skilled operators and fabricators to produce glass components capable of meeting virtually any specification in relation to size, shape, or surface treatment.

Direct Traffic

Direct, or branded traffic to the website has also experienced substantial growth since the initial website launch. In year one (September 2016 to August 2017), website visits from direct sources accounted for 2,644 session, which translates to more than 2,500% growth over the previous period’s unimpressive statistics. Year two (September 2017 to July 2018) has resulted in 4,996 sessions, to date, and is on track to achieve 100% growth compared to year one. In total, there have been 7,668 sessions via direct search.

The staggering difference between direct visits from then and now can be clearly seen by examining the earliest and latest data.

In July 2018, 570 direct sessions took place—a 56,900% jump.
