About Oakcraft

Oakcraft is one of Britain’s leading manufacturers of bespoke oak frame buildings; from garages and garden rooms to orangeries and extensions. With a strong, deep-rooted heritage, they manage every stage in-house: from sustainable oak forestry to hand-crafted joinery and nationwide installation. Their unmatched control, craftsmanship, and legacy set them apart.

To support their next phase of growth, Oakcraft partnered with AIWIZ for a full digital transformation: brand, website, SEO, social media, and lead generation.

Objectives

  • Reimagine the OakCraft brand to reflect their craftsmanship, heritage and quality
  • Design and develop a fully optimised, high-performance website for visibility and conversions
  • Launch a long-term SEO content strategy to increase organic performance
  • Drive consistent, qualified leads through region-specific Google Ads
  • Build a strong social media presence for authority and visibility, showcasing projects

Our Approach

Rebranding: Modern Heritage, Digitally Aligned

We led a complete rebrand to unify Oakcraft’s visual identity and align it with their quality product offering:

  • Logo redesign that retained heritage but modernised form and typography
  • A full colour system reimagined to include oak-inspired neutrals, slate tones, and heritage green
  • Brand guidelines for consistency across digital, print and site signage
  • Design language and typography reflecting architectural elegance and craftsmanship

This new brand identity became the foundation for all future campaigns and digital assets.

Website Development: Built for Craft, Built to Convert

We completely redesigned and rebuilt Oakcraft’s website from the ground up to align with their scale, quality, and positioning:

  • 100+ SEO-structured pages, by product, location, and search intent
  • Advanced filtering, brochure downloads, and seamless enquiry forms
  • Full technical and on-page SEO integration
  • A structured content hierarchy guiding users from inspiration to enquiry
  • Optimised for mobile, speed, and UX to increase engagement and reduce bounce

The result: a site that now reflects Oakcraft’s position in the market, and drives conversions.

SEO: Long-Term Discovery

Our SEO approach focused on visibility, authority and relevance:

  • Keyword strategy targeting terms like: oak frame garage builders, oak trusses UK, luxury garden rooms
  • Technical SEO including schema, page speed, mobile optimisation, and internal linking
  • SEO-focused landing pages and blog strategy based on user search intent
  • Topics included planning guides, timber benefits, design trends, and sustainability

Initial keyword rankings appeared within weeks, with significant organic traffic growth within months.

Google Ads: High-Intent, Region-Specific Campaigns

While SEO matured, we launched targeted Google Ads campaigns to generate qualified leads:

  • Focused on rural high-value areas in England and the Channel Islands
  • Campaigns aligned with buyer-ready keywords: oak garage prices, garden room builders, custom oak buildings
  • Custom landing pages per region and product
  • Constant A/B testing for conversions and budget control

Results: over 500+ enquiries generated in one year, with consistently strong lead quality and high intent.

Social Media: Building Visibility & Trust

Our organic and paid social strategy focused on showcasing craftsmanship, builds in progress, and completed work:

  • LinkedIn for authority with architects, contractors, and developers
  • Meta platforms (Facebook & Instagram) for visual storytelling and local targeting
  • Seasonal campaigns mapped to planning trends and garden-building interest peaks

Results

  • A unified, modern brand identity rooted in Oakcraft’s heritage
  • A high-performance website optimised for UX, speed, and search
  • Major improvements in SEO visibility and rankings
  • Over 500+ high-intent enquiries generated through paid campaigns in one year
  • Expanded brand presence across England and the Channel Islands
  • Increased authority through consistent, brand-aligned social content

Final Word

Oakcraft’s story is one of heritage and precision. Our job was to ensure their digital presence matched that and positioned them to lead in a growing, premium market.

Through strategy, creativity, and technical execution, we helped transform Oakcraft into a modern brand without losing their authenticity or tradition.
