Using Both SEO & PPC to Increase Revenue - Natures Grub Case Study

Natures Grub Case Study Norwich, Norfolk & Cambridge


Utilising both paid and organic channels is key to developing an effective digital marketing strategy that will generate significant growth in both traffic and revenue.

This case study showcases how, over the past two years, our digital marketing team have utilised both key elements of search engine marketing – Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and Pay-per-Click Advertising (PPC) – to generate rich results for Norfolk-based pet food supplier, Natures Grub.


The Client

Natures Grub is best known for providing a wide range of own brand animal feeds for a variety of small animals. As demand grew for natural pet food for other animals, Natures Grub expanded their offering by creating adjacent sites to satisfy this demand: Horse Herbs, Bunny Bistro, and The Fish Food Warehouse.


The Challenges

Natures Grub approached us with the goal of wanting to increase traffic, and subsequently drive sales, across all of their e-commerce platforms.

In order to achieve this, a number of key issues needed to be addressed:

•  Lack of website traffic and results through search engines.

•  Search listings for all the websites were not showing on the first page of Google.

•  Conversion rates across all sites were low, specifically for new users.

The Solution

To achieve these objectives, the team devised a comprehensive digital marketing strategy that encompassed both SEO, and PPC, in order to maximise both organic and paid channels respectively.

Our SEO strategy had the core objective of boosting the search engine rankings for all four of the e-commerce websites, providing greater online visibility in order to increase traffic volumes. To execute this, we:

Conducted extensive research to compile a list of keywords that we wanted to target for each site, prioritising high-volume keywords with low competition so our changes could make a significant difference quickly.

Assessed and updated all of the metadata on the site to ensure that it aligned with our new list of keyword targets.

Conducted extensive optimisation across all key pages on the site, including adding in keywords, as well as more technical tasks such as adding internal links to related pages, and boosting the overall user experience to increase user engagement and the likelihood of them making a purchase.

Our PPC marketing strategy looked to generate consistent, high-value traffic by placing search engine adverts in front of users searching for products similar to those offered by the client:

We conducted another round of keyword research for each site, focussing on terms with low cost-per-clicks, high search volumes, and low competition densities, allowing us to maximise the returns within the budget.

We created adverts that effectively reflected the enquiries of the target audience to encourage users to click through to the product pages. We continuously monitored all campaigns on a weekly basis to identify inefficiencies and opportunities, optimising the campaigns accordingly to maximise their performance within the set budgets.


Results

Our SEO work had an immediate impact on traffic volumes, with each site rapidly rising up the search engine results page:
