1800 Salvage is a motor vehicle dealer with a great reputation but little online presence to promote their services beyond word of mouth. They specialise in offering fast payment & removal for second-hand cars, motorcycles, vans and light trucks.
After exhausting their existing network, 1800 Salvage was keen to discover the impact of a digital strategy to help grow the business. They partnered with EngineRoom in 2020, and after initial discussions, designs for a new website were developed. Its launch led to a significant increase in leads and revenue and the further creation of marketing strategies to build on this initial success.

When I first approached EngineRoom, I was just trying to find a reputable company to build a user-friendly website for our company. What I ended up with was a collaborative partnership which restructured the way we do business entirely! EngineRoom has helped me give the company a great digital identity and strong, consistent growth to our web leads, which has improved all aspects of the business.
1800 Salvage started out as a small business buying salvage vehicles through an existing network. They knew their business had potential and wanted to unlock further business growth using digital strategies. The client engaged EngineRoom back in 2020, just before COVID hit. By working closely with the business in detailed strategy sessions, we developed a data-led strategy that included a new website build and a comprehensive marketing plan.
1800 Salvage wanted to understand how they could generate leads through their website and grow their business outside their existing clients and networks. The first challenge was to gain clean data and set up efficient internal systems to manage leads and track performance. The key to their growth would be the guidance of our experienced senior digital advisors combined with insights from the EngineRoom platform that would effectively “unlock digital” for the client and open the doors to strong business growth.
The first step was to build an online presence for 1800 Salvage. With strong competition in the market, we conducted considerable research before beginning work designing and developing the website. A detailed SEO strategy was created with in-depth keyword research, custom content creation and a bespoke link building program. Combined, these SEO activities lead to a much-improved domain authority score and stronger SERP results.
Once the website was up and running, we could start to glean insights into customer behaviour and track the performance of sales and marketing campaigns through the EngineRoom platform. Our highly integrative platform provides one true source for all marketing and sales activities and data, ensuring a far clearer picture of the business’s campaign performance, lead generation and marketing ROI.
Glen Allpress, 1800 Salvage’s Senior Digital Advisor and founding partner at EngineRoom, detailed a comprehensive roadmap to grow the business using his considerable business acumen and data-led insights.
We started with the website and brand refresh, launching in 2021. With the website live, we set up our internal systems, Pipedrive and Podium, to ensure leads coming in could be efficiently managed and mapped through our platform.
The PPC team tested the market with Google Ads through 2021, and with the data we generated, we commenced SEO in April 2022. SEO was always going to be the centrepiece of our longer-term strategy generating substantial growth for the business and improving its authority online.
EngineRoom also onboarded 1800 Salvage staff into our process and systems using a highly collaborative approach and maximising the ROI from our program. 2022 has been a huge success for 1800 Salvage and we are set up for huge wins in 2023.
Our SEO strategy, boosted by the new website and developed with data gleaned from the GoogleAds campaign, laid the groundwork for long-term, sustainable success.
EngineRoom built a new website which was launched in 2020 in collaboration with an external branding partner, which included a refresh of the product offering and branding.
Founding Partner of EngineRoom and a business owner with extensive digital marketing growth and automotive industry experience, Glen Allpress, manages the 1800 Salvage account.

We bought a company to show exactly what EngineRoom’s methodology could do. Five years later, we had grown revenue by 1266% and increased the equity value of the business 10x.
The Water People needed more than a simple SEO agency, they sought a complete digital transformation to coincide with a change in ownership. EngineRoom created strong growth and captured new markets through a complimentary SEO strategy and Google Ads campaign.
As an award winning SEO agency, we supply the tools, insights, and strategies that small businesses need to grow sustainably, defining success by the goals and targets they set with their digital advisors. Take Trav’s Trees, for example. As an arborist business specialising in tree removal, the team had a steady flow of work but wanted to take things up a level. We implemented data tracking and designed a comprehensive digital strategy (including a fresh website, Google Ads, and SEO). As a result, Trav’s Trees welcomed over 3,500 new accounts and achieved a revenue uplift of over 150%.
