Background
- The product was launched recently and had fewer than 10 paying customers.
- Initially, they needed to scale organically, and once the basic elements had been established, they wanted to focus on performance marketing.
- They needed to improve their visibility and credibility.
Our Observations & Analysis
Social Media Marketing
- They had little to no online presence, so we needed to get their main social media channels up and running.
Search Engine Optimization
- They hadn’t done anything on SEO, so we decided to begin with technical SEO improvements.
Content
- With just 4-5 pages on their site, it was crucial to develop a content strategy and calendar.
Performance Marketing
- They hadn’t done anything on performance marketing.
- We needed to plan a strategy to take off once the organic activities were on track.
Challenges we faced
- Client communication: Since most of the potential customers (Restaurant owners/managers) weren't from a tech-related background, we needed to think of something simple in the communication strategy.
Our strategy & execution
Social Media Marketing
- We identified Instagram as their primary channel and developed a social media calendar accordingly.
- We began rolling out creatives according to the calendar, incorporating graphics, carousels, and motion graphics.
- We also launched a giveaway tied to a local event (Onam), which resulted in gaining over 200 followers in just 4 days.
Content marketing
- We created a content calendar, selecting topics based on the outcomes of keyword clustering.
- And began publishing content, including 8 blogs per month.
Performance Marketing
- The initial month was dedicated to launching carousel ads and video ads in English to the audience via Meta campaigns.
- While optimizing these campaigns, we simultaneously launched two additional campaigns featuring testimonial videos—one for a premium restaurant and the other for a regular restaurant.
- Leads from these campaigns contributed to an overall reduction in lead cost.
- We focused on reach and brand awareness as part of our top-of-funnel strategy.
- We began by boosting existing social media content and selecting the most engaging content for promotion.
- Awareness campaigns were developed around customer video testimonials.
- After 2-3 months, we initiated lead generation campaigns on Meta using instant lead forms.
What worked?
- The giveaway campaign significantly boosted our follower count and broadened our reach.
- Our SEO strategy effectively enhanced search visibility, leading to an increase in organic traffic.
- We crafted a content strategy that produces relevant and engaging content tailored to our target audience's interests.
- Through testimonial videos, we successfully built trust and motivated potential customers to register for demos and signups.
What didn't work?
- In fact, nothing!
