Project Overview
The saying no pain, no gain proves true even in the digital marketing world. In fact, it’s the cornerstone from which lucrative, long-term results grow. And we could all use a boost, especially in the loud and crowded eCommerce world. Spoonful of Comfort is a true testament to this.
This eCommerce business has helped millions of people spread love and comfort from afar. With their care packages surging in popularity (thanks to their feature on Shark Tank), Spoonful was faced with not only staying on top of their expansion but also emulating these developments on their site while earning bottom-line results.
They hired Big Leap in 2018 after a lack of results from a previous SEO agency. Fast forward five years and Spoonful has earned a 2,362.26% boost in organic revenue.

Strategy
Our Strategy
While our five-year partnership has covered a lot of ground, big and small, three key strategies served as the pillars of Spoonful of Comfort’s campaign:
- Content marketing
- Site migration & technical SEO
- Site maintenance
These areas leaned on creativity and technical expertise to inject our client’s online presence with the holistic approach it needed.
1. Bridging the Gap with Content Marketing
Content Creation
Going in, we knew content would play a key role. It would be the butter to the SEO bread, allowing Spoonful to elevate its authority—something that should not be overlooked when attempting to bolster your brand in such a crowded space.
We established this authority via topic clusters that covered various subjects surrounding a single keyword. As we created content, we also ensured to interlink related articles to one another, gradually building a solid internal link structure.
Content Optimization
Due to the higher number of content pieces produced throughout the years, we also emphasized:
- Optimizing and refreshing content
- Running content audits to identify new gaps
- Updating CTAs to increase the likelihood of conversions.
These optimization efforts have helped elevate the customer journey—bridging the gap between blog posts and product pages, ultimately crafting a holistic eCommerce experience.
2. Site Migration via Technical SEO
To offer a better eCommerce experience, Spoonful of Comfort decided to migrate their site from WordPress to Shopify. With over 1000 pages, we invested a lot of attention to the technical SEO components involved with the move.
Examples include reviewing:
- The staging site on Shopify
- URL structure
- Metadata
- Site speed
- Internal linking structure
These efforts ensured search engines were crawling their site and current and prospective customers would receive a high-quality user experience.
3. Streamlining SEO Processes
It’s no secret products come and go in the eCommerce world. And when you’ve got a large site, collectively establishing SEO continuity is crucial to achieving and maintaining lucrative online gains.
In the case of Spoonful, our team decided to build and streamline a process for managing these scenarios. We implemented an ongoing SEO process with Spoonful’s product, content, and development teams. This would ensure SEO best practices were considered as our client’s site grew over time.
From the traffic and revenue numbers to the total number of keywords, the results have been amazing. Spoonful’s business is so unique and the mission and purpose of their business is meaningful.
