Before working with us, S Bertram Foods had no structured marketing strategy. They relied on word of mouth and traditional business operations, with no paid advertising, no content strategy and no social media engagement. Their products were well regarded in the industry. Their online presence was close to nonexistent.
The challenge
S Bertram Foods needed a real digital footprint: more brand awareness and meaningful traffic to their website. With no paid advertising and no prior content to build on, the goal was an organic growth strategy that would produce sustainable, long-term results.
What we did
We built a fully organic program across three areas.
SEO and content strategy
- In-depth keyword research to find high-value search terms.
- Optimized website content, including product pages, blog posts and metadata.
- Technical SEO improvements to lift site performance.
- A content calendar of useful, well-researched articles written for their audience. (This is the core of our content strategy work.)
High-authority backlinks
- Placements on industry-relevant websites to build domain authority.
- Guest posts and mentions with food bloggers and industry influencers.
- Stronger internal linking to improve navigation and rankings.
Organic social media
- Consistent social campaigns built for their audience.
- Shareable content that landed with customers and industry peers.
- Encouraging user-generated content for authenticity and engagement.
The results
Over 12 months, S Bertram Foods achieved:
- 135,000 total sessions, a 235% increase in organic traffic.
- A strong organic presence built from zero, through SEO and content alone.
- Sustained visibility and credibility, leading to higher customer engagement.
They did it without spending on ads. That's the case for SEO done properly: the traffic keeps coming after the work is done.
