The brief

What they needed.

Access to Words is a system to help deaf people communicate — the kind of project that is not about search rankings at all, until it is: a service built for the deaf community only works if the deaf community and the people who need to communicate with them can actually find it. The task was to sell a genuinely useful accessibility system in a market where nobody yet knows to search for it by name, which means competing directly with generic tools like Google Translate for the same searches.

What we did

Our approach.

A site built to explain what the system does and why it matters, aimed at the searches people actually make when they need this kind of help — sign language translation, BSL interpretation — rather than assuming anyone already knows the brand. It is working against genuinely difficult competition: it holds third for “sign language translator”, a national term with over 4,000 impressions a year, ahead of some of the generic tools people default to.
