The challenge

Labels Zoo approached us during a pivotal transition in their business model. Previously operating as a global distributor, they shifted their focus solely to the UK market, selling only products they could manufacture in-house. However, their outdated website was not mobile-friendly, and a poorly executed migration of international subdomains had led to a significant decline in organic traffic.

Additionally, our audit of their Google Ads account revealed that conversions were heavily reliant on brand-based keywords, limiting their reach and potential customer acquisition. To support their growth, we needed to develop a multi-channel digital strategy that aligned with their refined offering and target audience.

Our approach

 

1

Discovery

We quickly identified the need for a complete digital overhaul to meet their new business goals. Our process began with a data-driven research phase, including keyword research, audience analysis, competitor benchmarking, and a SWOT analysis. This formed the foundation of a comprehensive digital strategy.

2

Web Design & Development

With newly developed branding from a third party, our designers applied the updated brand guidelines to craft a modern, user-friendly website. We focused on usability, ensuring seamless navigation while incorporating key SEO and CRO principles. The custom-coded site was built with an intuitive backend, enabling easy future updates and optimisations.

3

Migration

The new website launched in November 2023, with our SEO team playing a crucial role in the migration process. In addition to transitioning from the old site, we resolved numerous issues caused by a previous subdomain migration. While initial volatility was expected, traffic and sales rebounded swiftly, leading to a record-breaking revenue month at launch.

4

SEO Strategy

We implemented as many SEO optimisations as possible before the launch to establish a strong foundation. Post-launch, we leveraged Hotjar to analyse user engagement and ensure easy product discoverability. Our strategy focused on content pillars aligned with their refined offering and strengthening domain authority to drive keyword rankings.

5

PPC Strategy

After six months of website optimisation, we launched targeted paid campaigns to attract new customers. Labels Zoo had previously relied on PPC but with misleading conversion data due to free sample packs. We introduced a refined campaign structure, including PMAX, Search, and Display, with a strong emphasis on high-margin products. Continuous refinement improved ROAS over time.

6

Email Marketing for Retention

SEO and PPC delivered a 54% increase in new customer revenue within the first six months. However, we noticed a decline in returning customer rates. To address this, we launched email campaigns, starting with list segmentation to focus on UK-based customers. We implemented automation and encouraged monthly promotions and exclusive email discounts to boost retention.

7

Social Media Consultancy

With core acquisition channels performing well, we turned our attention to social media engagement. Labels Zoo’s parent company, Integrity Communications Group, has an in-house marketing team, so we developed a refined social media strategy and content calendar. We continue to provide ongoing consultancy to enhance performance on LinkedIn and Facebook.

8

Monitoring & Optimisation

Our partnership includes continuous data monitoring and strategic adjustments to align with evolving business objectives. Monthly performance reports provide transparency, and our proactive approach ensures ongoing refinements to support sustainable growth.

The results

Through a data-driven approach and multi-channel strategy, we successfully helped Labels Zoo refine their UK offering and connect with their new audience. Since 2023, we have seen substantial improvements in traffic, orders, and overall online revenue.
