Red Clay Interactive

The Lab Depot

“Red Clay has easily doubled the value of my company.”
Don Westall, CEO, The Lab Depot

In 2003, The Lab Depot tapped Red Clay Interactive to create a national online presence for their regional brick-n-mortar laboratory supply company.

In the three years since the launch of www.labdepotinc.com, Red Clay has managed search engine optimization, Web design, and ecommerce development for The Lab Depot. Key results include that The Lab Depot:
  • Maintains the number one position for over 200 search terms

  • Maintains over 1,000 top ten rankings in major search engines

  • Enjoys a 113% increase in online orders (averaged annually since the site’s launch)

  • Posts an 111% average annual growth rate in online sales since the site’s launch

My vision is to create tremendous service and value.”

Westall tasked Red Clay Interactive with making The Lab Depot a national lab supply authority through its online presence. With ongoing search engine optimization by Red Clay, The Lab Depot has discovered that:
  • Traffic increased from 200 to 100,000 unique visitors per month

  • Google pages indexed mushroomed from 200 to 40,000; and

  • Search engine rankings maintain resilience despite changes in ranking algorithms
“While we're proud of the strong and effective visual strategy we created for The Lab Depot, what really makes the site successful is the search engine optimization strategy we developed and continue to manage,” says Lance Compton, CEO at Red Clay Interactive."

“Red Clay really gets the big picture for my company,” Westall says. “You explain a business goal to their team and they not only understand, they help make it happen on an ongoing basis. Red Clay Interactive is a critical partner in the success of The Lab Depot’s brand and
