Company Background
Our Client, Randstad, is a leading global human resources company specialising in recruitment, outsourcing, and workforce solutions. Originating in the Netherlands, Randstad has expanded its physical footprint to 39 countries worldwide. The company faced a significant challenge in maintaining consistent messaging across its website and Google Business Profile (GBP) listings on a global scale.

Challenge: Inconsistency in Website vs. GBP
Strategic Approach
Auditing Online Presence:
- Rigorous audits were conducted on Randstad’s websites and Google Business Profiles to identify any inconsistencies or discrepancies.
Google Business Profile Optimisation:
- A comprehensive optimisation format was crafted, emphasising consistent messaging and integrating language-specific keywords that were pertinent to the respective countries where those branches are located.
- The template was submitted to each country’s dedicated “local heroes” for approval.
- Randstad’s Google Business Profiles transformed, ensuring accurate business information, including locations, operating hours, UTM tagging, and contact details.

Next Steps in Randstad's Growth Journey
Products & Services:
Development of a template for adding products to Randstad’s GBPs. As Randstad shifts its emphasis toward specialised jobs and branches dedicated to specific industries, the option to include one or two of these specialisations as additional products alongside the templated ones will be available for individual “local heroes” to assess.
For services, we will create a similar template, integrating keywords for country-specific optimisation.
