CLIENT’S REVIEW

A Few Words By Bronte

“Shan worked with me and my business for a couple of years focusing on SEO work, re-development of both my websites and digital marketing. I’m a gay marriage and funeral celebrant. I also train other celebrants in celebrancy – as well as a broader corporate audience – in LGBTIQ+ inclusivity and sensitivity. Shan’s work has put me in a nice spot, in terms of SEO ranking. I’ve really enjoyed working with him – our regular meetings led me to gain a greater knowledge about SEO and digital marketing – and it was great to see him gain an understanding of the wedding industry and LGBTIQ+ culture.”

BRAND OVERVIEW

Bronte Price – Gay Marriage Celebrant

Based in Victoria, Bronte Price is the first registered wedding celebrant in Australia to have completed the Certificate in Gay and Lesbian Weddings (The Equality Institute, USA). He is also the co-founder of The Equality Network, to provide inclusivity training to LGBTIQ+ wedding celebrants and vendors in Australia.

Bronte earlier worked with straight wedding couples only and would conduct commitment ceremonies for LGBTQIA+ couples. Since the Marriage Amendment Act was passed in December 2017, Bronte has been officiating same-sex weddings, successfully building a niche with LGBTIQ+ ceremonies.

KEY CHALLENGES

The Pain Points

Bronte approached the team at Page Potato to help him with lead generation for his Gay Celebrant website. He had a knack for meeting couples face-to-face and converting them to clients. However, he wasn’t able to share a similar experience through his marriage celebrant website.

Bronte also had a lot of training material which he had prepared as part of the course but needed help with how to package it and share it with the visitors on his website. Page Potato listed these key challenges with his small business SEO campaign.
