Overview
Etix clients have digital content optimized for the mobile experience thanks to Rockhouse Partners as 79% of people start their search for live event information on a smartphone. With this in mind, Rockhouse conducted an SEO audit on Tyson Events Center’s website to find new opportunities for improvement.
Rockhouse Partners took the positive and negatives of Tyson’s analytics and audit results to create their new website on an Etix-integrated platform with SEO best practices as one of the main ingredients.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]
The Challenge
Before the new website, mobile traffic only consisted of 11% of Tyson’s total traffic. There was no mobile-friendly tag on SERPs (now an important SEO ranking factor), and it was almost impossible to begin the sales funnel from a mobile device.
After analyzing a sample of our clients, Rockhouse found that an average 44% of ticket sales take place on smartphones. With that said, our goal was to sell more tickets by drawing Tyson site visitors into the conversion funnel as quickly and smoothly as possible.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”40″][vc_column_text]
What We Did
To develop a website that was up to the standards of the best mobile performance, Rockhouse completely rebuilt tysoncenter.com on their new template platform. SEO practices come bundled with structured data, responsive design, and our newly launched Etix API Integration. This led to Tyson’s digital presence, specifically mobile and SEO, improving drastically.

The Wins
With the launch of the new site, Tyson’s analytics began to tell a really different story than before. Here’s a brief summary of what we’ve seen post-launch:*[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/3″][milestone symbol_position=”after” color=”Default” effect=”count” symbol_alignment=”Default” number=”+641.7″ symbol=”%” subject=”Sessions”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/3″][milestone symbol_position=”after” color=”Default” effect=”count” symbol_alignment=”Default” number=”+1067.5″ symbol=”%” subject=”Pageviews”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/3″][milestone symbol_position=”after” color=”Default” effect=”count” symbol_alignment=”Default” number=”-12.4″ symbol=”%” subject=”Bounce Rate”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]On the flip side with SEO practices, sessions driven by Organic Search comprised just 6% of traffic in pre-launch, and has since increased to 34%.
Remember when we said that mobile traffic was a measly 11%? Now 56% of all traffic comes from mobile + tablet devices.
