For over 25 years, Habitat Systems has partnered with municipalities, schools, landscape architects, and community groups to create imaginative and inclusive outdoor spaces. From playgrounds and splash parks to site furnishings and layouts, they provide full-service support.

The Problem

When Habitat Systems approached us, its team expressed concern that they were losing digital ground to competitors that were aggressively targeting their audience online. Rivals were making high bids on paid media and capturing leads before they reached Habitat System’s site.

As competition intensified, maintaining visibility and protecting market share in search became a critical challenge.

The company’s goals included:

• Increasing its share of the market when facing increasingly high competition in the industry
• Generating a steady stream of high-quality leads through digital channels
• Improving website engagement and overall user experience

With ambitious goals and a playful brand identity, Habitat Systems sought a marketing partner who could blend creativity with a results-driven strategy. In 2021, Habitat’s team partnered with Ballistic Arts to enhance their online lead generation and digital presence.

The Solution

To help Habitat Systems expand its digital presence and attract qualified leads, we developed a three-part strategy focused on:

1. Improved website speed, discoverability, and conversion readiness.
2. Enhanced lead capture through dedicated landing pages with purpose-built forms.
3. Optimized key landing pages for search visibility using keywords and updated metadata.
4. Elevated user engagement with intuitive navigation and modern site experience.
5. Implemented effective lead generation campaigns with standalone lead forms.

We ensured that our digital marketing strategy was tailored to Habitat Systems’ specific business objectives. 

To help Habitat Systems compete in an increasingly aggressive digital landscape, we started by making improvements to the website. It needed to be faster, more discoverable, and conversion-ready.

We tackled site speed issues caused by large image galleries, ensuring the site loaded quickly without sacrificing visual impact. To improve lead capture, we created dedicated landing pages with purpose-built forms, providing a more efficient way for prospects to get in touch.

On the visibility front, we optimized key landing pages for search by aligning content with high-performing keywords and updating metadata to boost relevance for both SEO and PPC. This improved the site’s presence in competitive search results, especially where rivals were actively bidding.

Finally, we elevated user engagement by reworking the site experience, introducing intuitive navigation, smooth transitions, and subtle animations that made the site more modern, inviting, and easier to explore. Together, these updates turned Habitat’s website into a high-performing tool for growth.

To complement the work on our website and begin generating Habitat Systems leads, our team set up lead-generation campaigns. A key aspect of this was creating standalone lead forms on each dedicated landing page. This tactic proved more effective in driving leads compared to a general contact form. 

The result was a more engaging, high-performing site that now works harder to attract and convert the right audience.

Key Success Factors

Precise Geographic & Demographic Targeting

We refined targeting to focus on British Columbia and Alberta, Habitat’s primary regions. We also ensured that the messaging aligned with decision-makers to attract suitable commercial and institutional clients.

Search Intent Optimization

By constantly monitoring new search queries and integrating relevant ones into our keyword strategy, we kept visibility in an increasingly competitive landscape. This ensured Habitat remained discoverable even as competitors aggressively expanded their paid search efforts.

Design That Reinforces Brand Identity

We introduced animations and interactive scrolling to create a digital experience that matched the imaginative, movement-based nature of Habitat’s physical work. Our goal was to bring Habitat System’s brand personality to life!

The Results

Our combined strategy not only boosted Habitat Systems’ digital presence but also yielded concrete, measurable results that exceeded our initial expectations.

Behind the Strategy: How We Delivered Results

Multi-Campaign Targeting Strategy

We managed nine different campaigns, each targeting a specific audience segment—ranging from municipalities to school districts to landscape architects. 

By tailoring messaging and creative to reflect each group’s priorities, we ensured every campaign remained focused and relevant. As a result, we consistently generated high-quality leads across all campaigns, with new inquiries arriving almost every month.

Landing Page-Centric Lead Capture

Rather than directing traffic to a generic contact page, we developed dedicated landing pages for each campaign. Each page featured a standalone lead form optimized for simplicity and relevance. This approach reduced friction and helped boost both submission volume and lead quality.

Playful Web Animation Enhancements

Harnessing the power of UI/UX design, we collaborated to create a scroll-triggered, animated site for our inner child to enjoy. 

The idea? To enhance the site experience, making it more engaging and reflecting Habitat System’s playful brand. After our adjustments, we observed a 78% rise in average engagement time per active user compared to the previous period during the first two quarters of 2025.

We love to go into details to make the most of what we have, and with this brand, we had a significant opportunity to create a unique user experience; we decided to implement improvements such as:

• CTA improvement
• 3D layouts
• Video implementation and optimization for the web
• Animation
• Smooth scrolling
• and more

SEO Improvements

We provided guidance to enhance SEO elements on Habitat System’s business website, ensuring that its on-site messaging resonated with user search intent. There were multiple pages where we needed to optimize for key SEO fundamentals across the most important landing pages. 

Our team worked diligently to refine meta titles, descriptions, and on-page copy to better align with user intent. These improvements helped increase visibility and reinforce Habitat Systems’s authority in its niche.
