Challenge

Starting with a brand-new website and zero online visibility, the challenge was clear: build a sustainable stream of leads without overspending on marketing. With no organic presence to rely on, the goal was to generate quick wins through paid search while laying down solid SEO foundations for long-term growth.

Strategy

We rolled out a dual-track strategy focused on immediate performance and future growth:

  • Launched Google Ads campaigns aimed at fast lead generation while tightly managing cost per lead.
  • Continuously optimised ads, landing pages, and keyword targeting to improve performance over time.
  • Established SEO foundations to build long-term visibility, including technical setup, content improvements, and on-page optimisation.
  • Applied updates to core pages to boost rankings and improve user engagement.

Results

Within nine months, the results results were clear:

  • Cost per lead dropped by 72%, from $53.41 in the first month to $14.74
  • Conversion rate more than doubled, rising from 5.6% to 12.3%
  • Organic clicks from Google increased by 770%, showing steady growth over time

By combining paid and organic strategies with continuous optimisation, Classic Gelato built a sustainable, high-performing online presence—without overspending on marketing.
