Enhance sales, boost growth, and increase awareness
Pet businesses, including groomers, dog walkers, vet clinics, pet stores, and pet training companies, can sometimes find digital strategies a bit of a minefield. Mostly, this comes from not really knowing how digital strategies, like a social media plan, can benefit your business.
At Rokir, we’re here to tell you that not only will digital strategies improve your business growth, boost sales, and increase customer loyalty, but we can help you with all of this!
Our experience is varied across industries, including in the pet and animal industries. This means we’re incredibly well-placed to get started on your digital marketing, website overhaul, and social media calendar today.

Like any business trying to establish an online presence, the pet industry can face limitations. In our experience, these limitations affect companies across the sector, too, so you’re not alone.
Below, we’ve explored the different limitations that we have seen impact digital marketing strategies for businesses just like yours and offered solutions that we couple implement to ensure that your business goes on to be a thriving success.
Many pet services result in something intangible. As a vet, in particular, the services that you offer are not easily marketed because they often happen behind closed doors or are sensitive in nature. However, intangible services don’t mean that you cannot market them well.
At Rokir, we approach digital strategies for intangible services in a few ways. To begin with, we utilise our social media strategy services to create a social media calendar full of valuable content that may not show your services explicitly but can market them through testimonials, educational content, and solution-based content.
Another digital service that would benefit this kind of company is our web development services. A professional and responsive website is the perfect place for you to describe your services and explore how they benefit your clients. While you may not have a physical product to show someone, you can certainly tell them why your services would benefit them.
Having a local audience is common for small businesses, and pet companies are no different. As a local dog walker or grooming service, you might be wondering how you can stand out among the other businesses in the area just like yours.
Our SEO services are the best solution to this limitation.
Harnessing the power of SEO with highly specific and local keywords can ensure that your business is the first company anyone searching for your services sees. SEO helps websites to climb the search rankings, meaning that when someone googles ‘dog walkers Middlesbrough,’ the website optimised with the best local SEO will be the first website to appear at the top of the results page.
Using our SEO services, we can make sure that your pet business is right there at the top and is the first company people turn to in your local area.
Unfortunately, many people turn to businesses like vet clinics in times of great need and emotion. If a pet is ill, owners are likely to feel anguish, which drives your sales process. So, how do you get sales using emotions?
Tapping into the emotions of pet owners and exploring the connection people have with their pets is a great way to boost sales and improve customer loyalty. You can use compelling storytelling across your website and social media content to share stories of successful treatments and recoveries and also harness user-generated content to create a sense of community.
Our content services can be used to create educational content for your social media and website blog. Educational content can be used to ensure your clients know when, why, and how to get their pets vaccinated or checked out.
We would also work with you to ensure there is brand engagement on your social media platforms. This means having direct communication with your clients to create a sense of community and ensure the likelihood of referrals.
For many pet businesses, a lack of physical products means limited conversion online. While services may be purchased online, most often, the purchases happen offline, which means conversion tracking can give an inaccurate view of the actual profitability of the business.
Due to this limitation, it can be difficult to track when your marketing and digital strategies are actually having a positive impact. For this reason, Rokir offers tailored reporting for individual clients. We’ll ensure that you can see where the strategies are working and where they might need tweaking.
As with the intangibility of services for vet clinics, breeders, and pet trainers, the chances of repeat business are often limited. For vet clinics, this would require repeated illness or injury, and only clients who keep getting new pets would need trainers on retainer.
Overcoming this challenge is pretty simple. While repeat business often has an important role for retail stores and businesses of this kind, for pet businesses, we would ensure that the digital strategies we implement encourage word-of-mouth referrals and an increase in followers.
We would do this by spotlighting testimonials and user-generated content, encouraging online reviews, and creating highly shareable content so that your content is seen by more than just your followers.

” We wished to create a site that was very interactive and as a result, extremely difficult to design. Our original web designer was trying to design it for 6 months but did not have the skills to complete it. When all our work and effort seemed to be for nothing, we got a referral for Rokir.
From the beginning, Jade, James and the team were brilliant and started our site from scratch. In a few short months, our website went from seemingly doomed to being a fully functional and highly interactive site. As a result, we have been growing ever since. Rokir’s “can-do” attitude reignited our enthusiasm for our project. It is great to deal with people that always have a positive approach to what you are proposing, regardless of how difficult or outside the box it may be
We would highly recommend Rokir and have done so to quite a few people already. “
