How We Did It
What if your business was slowly becoming irrelevant?
That’s what happened to our client. In a world of fads or looking for magic quick fix solutions, are your products and services truly evergreen.
Or have user preferences and trends changed, without you knowing, leaving your business behind?
Outcomes
Our clients had built their business around Ideal Protein, a weight loss protocol that was previously very popular.
However, as new weight loss methods became popular, Ideal Protein began trending downward at an alarming rate. At the point we began working with our client, it was almost irrelevant.

Finding an evergreen niche
Who are you selling to?
When there is a disconnect between what you are selling and who you are selling to, all marketing and sales efforts are in vain. Use data to answer questions like:
- Who is your target market?
- Who is your actual audience?
- What can you offer them that they are wanting?
Data we analyzed
Audience is mostly women in their middle age.


Specific health concerns for this demographic
We discovered that a major wellness concern for women in the 45 – 65 age range is menopause – particularly how to combat menopausal weight gain.
We confirmed that this would resonate with her audience through reviewing testimonials where menopause was mentioned, and through audience surveys.
And because women will always go through menopause this is a topic that will never trend out – our evergreen niche.
Data-Driven Advertising Spend Reduction
Before working with WP Gazelle, client’s financial paying over $2.00 per click on paid ads without attaining any new customers.
This was unsustainable. We adjusted keywords and targeting to drive leads and reduce ad spend.

Confused customers don’t buy
The very first thing we noticed about our client’s website was that it took a long time to load, had outdated design elements, and wasn’t easy to navigate.

WP Gazelle gives client site a modern makeover
Our client’s users appeared to be having trouble finding pages due to confusing navigation. When we converted our client’s website hosting to the WP Gazelle platform we:
-
- Performed a complete overhaul of their website using moderndesign elements
- Updated their website navigation making pages easier to find &added search bar
- We made it as easy as possible for customers and future customers tofind and order products and services by creating a full client portal

Most Companies Stop There… but Traffic Doesn’t Equal Leads
They do solid ad targeting work and maybe a site redesign, but that’s where it ends. Yet, even if you find the perfect niche, offer the perfect product, and advertise with low rates and high engagement, it means nothing if your website can’t convert visitors into leads

Optimizing for conversions can dramatically increase leads
We were generating traffic but we weren’t generating leads or new business. The data showed us that initial improvements weren’t enough, and we knew that fixing conversions – even small tweaks – would make a huge difference.

Pay attention to the unexpected, including Google algorithm updates
After implementing all of the aforementioned changes, with great results, our impressions and traffic drastically dropped in May 2021. We were unable to bring impressions up to what they had been, despite our best efforts.
Then, in September 2021, they were suddenly hit again with another drastic drop in traffic


Pay attention to the unexpected, including Google algorithm updates
Our findings
In August 2018, Google rolled out one of the largest search engine algorithm updates to date, the Medic Update, which primarily affected organic rankings for health, fitness and medical websites, as well as the financial industry. Because of this update, many companies’ website rankings plummeted, and companies saw a drastic decline in site traffic.
