REINVENT THE BRAND WITH WEBSITE THAT SELLS

E-commerce Website

We came in to contact with Mainland Cannabis in 2018. At that time, they had an outdated website that had a lot of bugs and no to little online presence. After learning everything we could about Mainland Cannabis and their industry, we proposed creating a new website and marketing initiatives that were tailormade for helping them grow, expand into new territories, and attract more online sales through Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We re-built the website in September 2018. The new site was modern, clean, and mobile responsive. It had compelling calls to action that helped guide users along the path to conversion.

STREAMLINED PROCESSES

QuickBooks Integration

Mainland Cannabis used Quickbooks Online for their accounting and managing inventory. To ensure smooth operation, they needed to integrate Quickbooks Online with their online store. We integrated their Quickbooks with WooCommerce store and automated sync of customer sales, inventory, sales tax and shipping/tracking data from your selling platform to QuickBooks.

RISE IN VISITOR TRAFFIC AND REVENUE

Search Engine Optimization

The initial project scope was limited to designing and deploying a new online store, but very soon Mainland Cannabis realized that due to regulations, marijuana websites can’t promote themselves through PPC advertising or ads on social media. This meant that the client depended on his customers to find his website through Organic search. This is where we came into the picture again. In July 2019, we commenced many months of aggressive SEO campaigning in order to catch up with major competitors that have been doing SEO for a longer period of time.

Keyword growth from 192 keywords in July 2019 to 1800 keywords in Aug 2020

Our goal was to optimize technical SEO factors of the site and build high-quality content around CBD and hemp that attracts high-quality backlinks. After fixing several errors found in Google Search Console and making a ton of UI and on-page SEO enhancements, they started to see some upward movement in the SERPs. Sales and organic site traffic have steadily progressed, with an immediate and noticeable bump after completion of the July checklist. After 1 year, they have reached 15,000+ visitors every single month, and six figures in sales from organic search, every month. Organic users increased by 941% YoY (May 2019 vs May 2020). This has translated to a 745% improvement in goal completions.
