Kate McQuillan – Pet Sitters Ireland
Chris with Kate McQuillan – Pet Sitters Ireland
Kate McQuillan, Co-owner of Pet Sitters Ireland, launched in 2010, has taken the business from strength to strength through consistent content marketing, writing over 300 blogs in just 18 months.
Inspired to start the business as a solution to a personal problem, Pet Sitters Ireland provides in-home pet care, dog-walking and even a wedding day pet service. With a background in business, Kate is very much a business owner who has taken on the marketing role in her business and over time has seen amazing results. For example, in the past year Pet Sitters Ireland website traffic has increased 450%!!
Kate began marketing Pet Sitters Ireland with just a simple website, Facebook page, and a few Google ads, with little structure to the content she shared. However, after learning from content marketing industry experts, Kate has a schedule and a content marketing strategy in place, where writing blogs and using social media now comes as second nature.
Kate is now becoming known across the world for her successful content marketing efforts.
