What Was The Strategy?

Developed a comprehensive blog strategy featuring engaging, actionable content like unique coffee recipes. This approach not only provided valuable insights for customers but also successfully captured non-branded traffic while showcasing new product releases.

Revamped collection pages with a focus on high-conversion commercial keywords, ensuring increased visibility and alignment with customer search intent. This helped attract the right audience and drive traffic to newly launched product ranges, boosting sales during critical periods.

"We've been working with Studio Hawk for a couple of years now, they've helped us see huge growth through our organic search channels and have been extremely supportive through launches, campaigns and helping us improve our content across the website.A great agency to work with - highly recommend."

The Challenges

 

Unforseen Competition

 

Struggled to identify opportunities for driving non-branded traffic and effectively promoting new product launches.

 

Navigating Seasonal Challenges

 

Experienced seasonal sales dips, particularly during winter, alongside the challenge of managing stock arrivals.

Lacked a focused SEO strategy to boost rankings and capture commercial traffic during peak sales periods like Christmas.
