The Challenge
Simple Garden CBD approached us as a brand-new business struggling to gain online traction. They had high-quality proprietary products but faced many issues.
❌ Limited Digital Presence – They lacked SEO visibility and weren’t ranking for key industry terms.
❌ Minimal eCommerce Traffic – Their online store was generating less than $1,000 per month.
❌ Low Brand Awareness – Competing against franchise CBD retailers, they were overshadowed in local search.
❌ No Directory Listings – Their physical location was virtually invisible outside of Google Maps.
