A Clifton Village institution, brought into the digital age.
For years, The Albion has been part of the fabric of Clifton Village, a go-to for Sunday roasts, everyday dining, drinks and private hire. This project was built around the website itself: in April 2026 we designed and launched a clean, modern site aimed at making booking effortless and giving the pub the online presence it deserved. The search improvements that followed were a bonus, not the goal. This case study covers the launch period, 17 April to 20 May 2026, and what the new site delivered early on.
One of Bristol’s most competitive local markets.
Clifton Village’s hospitality search is crowded, pubs, restaurants, bars and event venues all chasing the same high-value terms, Sunday roast, pub food, private dining, venue hire. Migrating a well-established website adds risk on top of that, rankings, indexing and years of built-up link value can take a hit if it’s not managed properly. The old site had redirect chains going nowhere, a broken page, and a handful of URLs Google couldn’t index, along with a large but low quality backlink profile.
The priority was to give the pub a site that finally matched its standing, fast, well designed, easy to book through, while protecting the local visibility it had already built. Better search performance was a welcome side effect of getting those basics right.
We took a measured approach to the relaunch, protecting what the pub had earned while giving it a genuine refresh.
Modern microsite with mobile-first design and clearly defined conversion paths
Fully self-managed platform with CRM integration and sub-second load speeds
+47 keywords in the top 10 ranking in first 30 days
Tristan and his company redesigned our company website. It has produced exception results – online enquires have gone up 3 fold, bookings have increased 33%, private dining bookings have increased 11%. These are all qualified stats! Pretty impressive. What is most impressive is the increase in Google rankings, and searches – in a time when hospitality is not where it was any spend has to be critically analysed with return on investment. We did it and it was the best decision we made in 10 years.
If anyone ever want to contact me Tristan has my details and I am happy for him to forward on.
In summary I will say this – be ahead of the game not behind it.
