Grey's Fine Foods SEO Case Study

How Edge45® doubled Grey’s Fine Foods organic traffic within 3 months & more than trebled it year on year within 12

Client: Grey’s Fine Foods

Website: 
www.greysfinefoods.com

Segment: Food & Drink, E-commerce, B2C

Background: Grey’s Fine Foods is an online Spanish food shop that specialises in sourcing and importing authentic, top quality Spanish foods, ingredients and drinks from Spain into the UK where they are then sold online.

Grey’s was already a major player in the import and wholesale B2B market where wholesale clients ranged from michelin star restaurants to 5 star hotels as well as a large range of independent delis. However our client wanted to open up a new revenue stream by offering a number of products to the B2C market via an online store where margins were bigger than those typical in wholesale.

With no growth in website traffic and revenue, Edge45® was tasked with increasing the organic search presence of www.greysfinefoods.com so that the website could become profitable in its own right rather than subsidised by the wholesale division of the business.

Goal 1: Increase visibility of website in Organic Search to drive more visitors

Goal 2: Increase revenue generated from online sales
