76% increase in turnover for gluten-free bakery

Happy Bakers is a bakery located in Middelburg, the Netherlands. They sell a wide range of gluten-free products such as breads, bagels, cakes, and cookies. Happy Bakers products are 100% gluten-free and taste the same as regular bread and pastries.

Because the old website had been offline for a while and a new one had to be built, we had lost a lot of good positions. So it was important to regain them before December, because that's when the top season starts for Happy Bakers. So online visibility is a must!

Revenue was up 76% from the previous month.
In one month, we made 651 purchases, at €1.66 per conversion.
The number of organic visitors increased by 129% in three months.

Our data-driven approach

Good preparation is half the battle

Before we start a journey, we always conduct keyword research. This gives us insight into what people are looking for in the Netherlands. For example, we found out that there are more than 6,000 searches for 'gluten-free bread' in December, and that the keywords 'gluten-free oliebol', 'bagels', 'sandwiches', 'cake' and 'cookie' were searched for more than 10,000 times combined.

Data-driven recovery for webshop

Because the old webshop was unavailable for some time and there was a need for a new one, we lost many strong positions. However, we have put things in order in a data-driven way, by structuring categories and pages based on insights gained from keyword research.

With a detailed conversion measurement in the new webshop, we were able to accurately determine the return on every euro invested, which enabled us to optimally allocate the budget to the various channels.

Explosive growth through the use of multiple channels

We strengthened our online visibility by deploying both Google campaigns and Google Shopping. This strategy, combined with search engine optimization (SEO), allowed us to effectively reach the target audience looking for our products. Within a month, search engine advertising (SEA) generated 649 purchases at a cost per conversion of €1.66, representing a 200% increase over the previous month.

With the help of social media advertisements , we mainly focused on increasing our visibility, with the aim of informing the largest possible audience about our actions around oliebollen and bread. In December, we reached 281,874 people, of which 23,480 clicked through to more information.

In addition, we used organic posts and email marketing to inform our followers and subscribers about our promotions, focusing on offering discounts and highlighting the limited availability of our offers.

The result

In December, we achieved an impressive 129% growth in website visitors. By deploying search ads and Google Shopping, we achieved 651 purchases within a month, with a cost per conversion of only €1.66.

These strategic efforts resulted in a 76% increase in revenue compared to the previous month.
