There is a multitude of brands and products vying for the attention and loyalty of consumers, ranging from established industry leaders to up-and-coming startups. To succeed in this market, companies must differentiate themselves from their competitors by offering unique products, superior quality, and effective marketing strategies.

Furthermore, with the rise of e-commerce and online shopping, companies must also have a strong online presence and employ effective digital marketing techniques to stand out in the crowded supplements market.

The Marketing Challenges

Digital marketing has become increasingly important in the dietary supplements niche due to the growing number of consumers who are turning to online channels to research and purchase supplements. However, there are several challenges that companies in this industry face when it comes to SEO and other types of digital marketing.

  1. Legal restrictions: The dietary supplement industry is heavily regulated, and companies must adhere to strict guidelines when it comes to making claims about their products. This can make it challenging to create effective digital marketing campaigns that communicate the benefits of their products without running afoul of regulations.
  2. Intense competition: The dietary supplement market is crowded, with a large number of companies competing for consumers’ attention. This makes it challenging to stand out from the crowd and attract new customers through digital marketing channels.
  3. Limited marketing budgets: Many companies in the dietary supplement industry are small and have limited marketing budgets. This can make it difficult to invest in the kind of digital marketing campaigns that are necessary to build brand awareness and attract new customers.
  4. Complexity of the science: The science behind dietary supplements can be complex and difficult for consumers to understand. This can make it challenging to communicate the benefits of products in a way that is clear and compelling, especially in the limited space of digital marketing channels.
  5. Consumer skepticism: Many consumers are skeptical of the claims made by dietary supplement companies. This can make it challenging to build trust and credibility with potential customers through digital marketing channels.

ScaledOn SEO Strategy

For a digital marketing agency to develop an effective SEO strategy for a website, it is crucial to analyze and understand the business, the website itself, and the objectives of the company. The primary objective of our client was to get more commercial traffic that drives sales. Therefore, we’ve recommended optimizing the website’s hierarchy by improving the category pages and the clustering. 

This goal obviously means that we need to make keyword research, analyze the keywords we want to focus on the category pages and find the best options considering the search volume and keyword difficulty. 

Besides, it’s very important to create an efficient page structure with a great user experience in mind. That means the pages should have relevant content, including heading titles, paragraphs, images, CTA buttons, FAQs, and many other related sections that will help visitors understand what you offer and why should they buy from you instead of your competitors. 

And the last critical aspect we’ve recommended to our client is the clustering.

What is Clustering?

Clustering is the technique of organizing website content into related groups, or “clusters,” based on specific topics or keywords. The purpose of clustering is to create a more organized and coherent structure for your website’s content, making it easier for visitors and search engines to understand your pages.

When clustering, you group pages on your website that are related to a particular topic or keyword. By doing this, you create a clear hierarchy of content that can help improve the relevance and authority of your website, making it more likely to appear higher in search engine results pages (SERPs) for relevant queries.

Clustering can be accomplished through various methods, including organizing pages into categories and subcategories, using internal linking to connect related pages, related guides, and creating pillar pages that serve as a hub for related content.

The Results

After implementing a few recommendations from our SEO strategy, including creating new pages, improving the page UX, and linking the pages for a better clustering, the results started to come. 

We’ll present below the organic traffic and organic sales KPIs evolution in the last year compared to the previous period. However, the client didn’t implemented all our recommendations, yet. We expect to see a continually increase in traffic and sales after implementing everything we’ve mentioned in our digital marketing strategy. 

Organic Traffic Results

The organic traffic boosted up by 188.12% and the last period indicates an increasing trend. Organic sessions were higher for each month compared to the year before. The last few months have shown an even bigger difference in traffic compared to last year.

Organic Revenue

A website’s most critical aspect is undoubtedly its page experience. Google is using page experience as a ranking factor, and more significantly, visitors are more likely to engage and convert when they interact with a website of high quality. So improving this KPI is critical for any online business owner that wants to have the best results. Due to boosting up the organic traffic, the UX quality of the website, internal linking, and CTAs, revenue increased by 104.41% and the number of transactions increased by 71.97%. All the months have higher sales compared to the previous year and the increasing trend is accelerating.
