SAM Leisure

The brief

SAM Leisure is one of the UK's leading retailers and manufacturers of pool, snooker and games-room equipment, supplying everything from full-size tables to accessories, parts and bespoke installations. The team wanted a website and SEO programme that matched the scale of the business and gave them a serious organic search presence to go alongside trade and wholesale channels.

The challenge

Specialist equipment retail has two audiences pulling in different directions: the casual buyer kitting out a games room, and the trade buyer sourcing for a venue, retailer or installation. The site needed to serve both without confusing either, present a deep product range cleanly, and start ranking for the dozens of high-intent searches happening every month around pool and snooker equipment.

What we did

A category-led web design

We built the site around how customers really shop pool and snooker, by table type, by accessory category, by brand, by use case. Each section gets the room it needs without burying the rest of the range.

SEO campaign across the catalogue

We ran an SEO programme across the full catalogue: page titles, structured product and category content, schema markup, and ongoing authority building. The site is set up to compete for the searches that matter, tables, cues, accessories, parts, installation, brand-specific queries, across the long tail of the catalogue.

Ongoing partnership

SAM Leisure is a long-running client, not a one-and-done project. We continue to support on SEO, content and technical work as the business grows.

The outcome

SAM Leisure has a website and SEO programme that reflects its position as a UK market leader. Matthew Drage, Director, put it simply: "Glide are a great asset to our business in terms of supporting on all things SEO. We are really grateful for their continued support." The online presence now does justice to the scale of the operation behind it.
