Built from the ground up

Elite Soccer School is a large-scale sports infrastructure brand operating a network of nearly 150 to 200 football arenas, and we built their entire digital presence from the ground up.

The engagement began with deep audience research — understanding who was searching for turf bookings, how they were arriving, what they were looking for at each stage, and which locations carried the highest intent. Every page was then written and structured around those findings rather than filled with generic copy.

We designed and developed the complete website architecture, including dedicated pages for each arena, supporting content, imagery and interaction design, with a mobile-first build that keeps the experience fast and frictionless for users booking on the move.

A brand that now generates roughly 200 to 300 qualified leads every single day from multiple locations, backed by a consistent and searchable online presence.

02

Scattered demand

A network of nearly two hundred arenas is a lot of demand spread across a lot of places, and none of it was being captured coherently. Prospective players search locally, on their phones, with high intent and little patience — and without a presence built for that behaviour, most of it goes to whoever shows up first in search.

The problem was twofold. There was no website architecture that could represent every arena as its own findable destination, and there was no local-search presence to put those arenas in front of the people looking for turf nearby.

The brief was to turn scattered, location-by-location demand into a system: a site that speaks to real search intent and a local-discovery layer that makes every arena visible to the players closest to it.

03

Research-led build

We led with research. Before a single page was designed, we studied who was searching for turf bookings, how they arrived, what they wanted at each stage, and which locations carried the highest intent — and every page was written and structured around those findings.

The build itself was mobile-first, with dedicated pages for each arena, supporting content, imagery and considered interaction design. Alongside the website we established the brand’s Google My Business presence from scratch across the entire network and optimised each listing for local discovery.

A few principles kept the work honest:

  • Deep audience research before any design decisions
  • Every page written around real search intent
  • A dedicated, findable page for each arena
  • A mobile-first build for users booking on the move
  • Google My Business set up across the whole network
  • Each listing optimised for local discovery
04

A discovery engine

The result is a complete, searchable presence that treats local discovery as the growth engine it is. The website gives every arena a fast, purpose-built page, while the optimised Google My Business network puts those arenas in front of high-intent searchers in each area.

Local discovery became the single biggest driver of growth — the layer that connects a player searching nearby to the closest arena and turns that search into a booking enquiry.

What we shipped, end to end:

  • A complete, research-led website architecture
  • Dedicated pages for each arena across the network
  • A mobile-first, fast, frictionless booking experience
  • Google My Business established across every location
  • Local-discovery optimisation as the primary growth lever
  • A consistent, searchable presence for the whole brand
05

What the build changed

Demand that used to be scattered and largely uncaptured now flows through a system built to convert it. The combination of a research-led site and an optimised local presence turned search intent into a steady stream of enquiries.

The numbers tell the story plainly:

  • Roughly 200 to 300 qualified leads generated every day
  • Leads arriving consistently from multiple locations
  • Local search established as the biggest growth driver
  • Every arena made discoverable to nearby searchers
  • A fast, mobile-first experience for on-the-move booking
  • A consistent, searchable presence across the network
06

Searchable at scale

Elite Soccer School shows what happens when a multi-location brand is built for how people actually search: locally, on mobile, with intent. The research came first, and the site and listings were shaped to meet that demand where it lives.

The Google My Business network turned every arena into a discoverable destination, and local search became the engine behind hundreds of qualified leads a day.

What the brand now holds is not just a website but a searchable presence at scale — a system that keeps generating enquiries across its entire network, consistently, every day.

Testimonials

Don't take our word for it - take theirs

Externo didn't start with a design, they started with who was actually searching for turf and why. Every page and every listing came out of that. The Google My Business work alone became our single biggest driver of growth, and we're now seeing hundreds of qualified leads a day across locations.
