How Infoserve helped Wise Bartender gain 187% ROI

Wise Bartender is an independent, growing family business that launched in 2017. Nestled in the heart of Somerset, their aim is simple; to make alcohol-free drinks as accessible as possible.

The smart choice for alcohol-free, Wise Bartender successfully sells a variety of high quality, alcohol-free alternatives to wines, beers, ciders and spirits, as well as providing a broad collection of beverages that satisfy a number of dietary requirements.

While their business was successful, they wanted to get a better return from their Google Shopping Campaign and approached Infoserve with a goal of growing their existing audience to the next level.

We did this, and more...

After beneficial results, Wise Bartender soon extended with us to manage thier Microsoft Shopping, Facebook and Instagram.

Over a period of 1.5 years, in which the client has been with us, what started as £250 spent on 1 PPC product has advanced into a £3k split over 4 different product platforms.

Overall, investing £18,440 in their campaigns has recieved a return of £37,510!

Infoserve’s Role

PPC Campaigns

We are Yorkshire's only Google Premier Partner and Microsoft Elite Partner. The highest level of partnership, earned by high-performance PPC campaign management.

During the Covid-19 pandemic many people were turning to online shopping. Nonetheless, that didn’t mean we just sat back and let sales increase naturally, we used the boost in online visitors to our advantage. During this crucial time, we increased budgets and covered all bases when it came to paid ad campaigns, to make sure our client was getting noticed above the rest of the noise and competition.

How...

Delivered content by location, device and user preference for an effective personalised experience for the user.
Provided every customer with a unified voice and clear brand identity.
Created unique and engaging experiences for the customer journey.
Launched campaigns that capitalised on trends with efficient workflows and content tools.

Results...

Highly segmented insights for daily campaign deep dives.
More visibility and brand awareness.
Highly interested prospects.

Our managed PPC finds the best-converting traffic and lowest cost-per-click in real-time, from Google and Bing.

We provide results that outperform the industry average and we didn’t fall short when it came to Wise Bartender.

SEO

Our SEO team worked on a range of relevant keywords for Wise Bartender and carried out various on-site and off-site tasks to help bring the average of their rankings from page 6 to page 1 of Google.

For example, Wise Bartenders main keywords of 'alcohol free drinks', 'alcohol free beer', 'alcohol free cider', 'non alcoholic beer' and 'non alcoholic spirits' are all now on page 1 of Google.

Social Media

All of our social media marketing includes audience targeting, professional ad creation with flair, and budget optimisation. As a Facebook partner, our team of experts are trained by Facebook themselves.

Facebook

Wise Bartender already utilised a product catalogue on Facebook for use in their organic social strategy. Their goal, however, was to use this catalogue to generate more business.

After various a/b tests, we discovered in order to sensibly scale the campaign, we had to attack different parts of the funnel, focussing on high and mid-funnel campaigns, alongside retargeting lost sales.

Following a well structured plan and a goal in mind, the campaign yielded returns of more than £20,000!

How...

Achieved immediate results.
Increased brand awareness by making people aware of what Wise Bartender had to offer.
Boosted website traffic with a website click campaign targeting their audience.

What is the Role of a Digital Marketing Agency?

By Francesca Taylor • September 30, 2026

If your business is not performing online and you don’t have the capacity to hire an in-house marketing team, you might consider outsourcing to a digital marketing agency. The job of a digital marketing agency is to get you found online through multistream avenues like SEO, PPC, CRO, social media ads, branding, and listings. However, not every digital marketing agency does the same thing, and not every agency works in the same way. So, realistically, what should you expect when you reach out to one? Let’s take a look:

PPC V SEO: Which is best for your business?

By Francesca Taylor • September 30, 2026

SEO and PPC are both fundamental components of a successful marketing strategy but they target audiences in critically different ways. SEO (search engine optimisation) is an ongoing process of improving a website’s visibility in organic (unpaid) search results through technical optimisation and trust signals. PPC (pay-per-click) is a form of paid advertising where companies bid to appear in sponsored positions at the top of the SERP (search engine results page). As the name suggests, you pay when someone clicks on the ad. Because PPC and SEO are so different, you might not know where to allocate your budget. So, let’s take a look at how each can benefit your business, and whether you will find more cost benefit in paid vs organic search.

Manage Your Local Search Performance From Your Phone

By Daniel Bland • September 14, 2026

Managing your local marketing doesn’t have to mean sitting at a desk. With the Local Search app, you can stay on top of your business locations wherever your working day takes you. Reviews can arrive at any time, opening hours can change unexpectedly, and social posts may need a quick update before they’re published. You won’t always be near your laptop when these things happen. Waiting until you’re back at your desk can mean missing opportunities to respond to customers, increase engagement and keep your online presence up to date. For busy business owners, location managers and marketing teams, the Local Search app brings essential listing, reputation and social tools together in one convenient place. Instead of catching up later, you can take action when it matters. Whether you manage one location or several, the app makes everyday local marketing tasks easier to manage from your phone.

Search is changing rapidly. With AI powered results, conversational search assistants, and large language models (LLMs) influencing how customers discover businesses, your Google Business Profile (GBP) has become more important than ever.

If you want to stay visible as search evolves, here’s exactly what you should be doing to optimise your Google Business Profile right now.
