Businesses need effective strategies to attract traffic through Search Engine Optimization (SEO), optimize conversions (CRO), and increase sales. This case study shows how a leading online retailer of fresh Christmas trees, wreaths, and garlands partnered with New Path Digital to:

  • Improve their position on Search Engine Results Pages (SERP) by 11 positions
  • Increase relevant keywords in the top 10 by 50%
  • Generate a 12% increase in average order value
  • Streamline shipping and delivery messaging to boost customer confidence and satisfaction.

The Challenge: Untapped Market Potential  

  • Low Organic Site Traffic During Peak Sales Season
    Despite being the busiest time of the year, the website received traffic but failed to capture its full potential. 
  • Poorly Organized/Hard to Navigate Website
    Users found the navigation confusing, leading to low conversion rates. 
  • Website Not Fully Indexed by Google
    A significant portion of the website wasn’t indexed by Google, resulting in lower visibility in search results. 

The Solution: SEO and Content Marketing

    • Ensuring the site was mobile-friendly, providing a smooth experience across all devices. 
    • Addressing duplicate content issues and implementing canonical tags to avoid penalties.

      • Improving headings and subheadings to better structure content for users and search engines. 
      • Implementing a mobile-friendly design for optimal user experience across devices.

Content Marketing

The team implemented a robust content marketing strategy to attract and engage the target audience. This strategy focused on: 

        • Regularly creating fresh, relevant content to keep the website up to date and aligned with user interests. 
        • Segmenting content to cater to specific audience needs and improve user engagement. 
        • Developing a content calendar to plan and organize content publishing for consistent output. 
        • Crafting high-quality, valuable content that attracts and retains visitors, increasing brand awareness and driving sales.

  • 11th Spot in Google Ranking
    The website’s average Google ranking improved from the 22nd spot to the 11th. Over 500 relevant keywords ranked in the top 10, marking a 50% increase from the previous year. 
  • 12% Increase in Average Order Value
    The average order value grew by 12%, signaling higher customer spending. Sales of the most profitable product, the garland, increased by 5%.
