This is a story about a frozen fish and seafood supplier of Great Britain – Bradley’s Fish.
A little background…
Bradley’s Fish is a supplier of frozen fish and seafood across the major high street supermarkets of Great Britain with more than thousands of products.
Historically, Bradley’s Fish site relied heavily on organic traffic to drive business and stimulate demand for clean and hygienic fish and seafood. However, its website showed declining traffic and organic visibility, year-over-year. Gleb was challenged with updating Bradley’s site architecture, optimizing the mobile experience, and refreshing existing content to create a search-engine-friendly website that will maximize visibility, enhance the user experience, and ultimately boost site visits and revenue.
AddWeb Solutions was contacted to help Bradley’s Fish achieve their revenue goals…
AddWeb Solutions’ digital marketing team has helped the client scale the revenue from £26k to £200k in 8 months! But how?
In this blog post, we’ll be reviewing how Bradley’s Fish drives growth through digital marketing.
The Digital Marketing Strategy
Our goal was to build a strategy that would position our client favorably in the frozen seafood market for the long term without providing cluttered design or information that may confuse the users and refrain from ordering. There was a lot of work to do, so we’ve broken the entire SEO strategy into different steps. So, let’s get into it!
Before AddWeb Solutions’ digital marketing
When we started working with the client, the Bradley’s Fish website had nearly 10,000 users/visitors per month.
The website had a few competitive keywords that helped generate some amount of traffic every month.
But there was a lot of room for improvement and to do so much more!
There were a couple of problems with the website and contents. Though Bradley’s Fish has 200 product line up, the website’s content was not optimized. Another big problem with the website needed design optimization.
The 5-Step Process to boost traffic and revenue
- Step-1 Optimize Website Design
When we analyzed competitor websites, we found that Bradley’s Fish is neglecting a few key design aspects for both customers and search engine crawlers. To set up a proper and SEO-friendly design, we did follow a few things such as:
Optimized product pages:
There were a few handful ways we have optimized product pages for better search results:
- Added product categories: The client specified the highest priority categories and specific goods that he’d like to sell during the season.
- We have incorporated multiple image options for each products
- Added additional sections of recipes & video for different products
- Made sure images placed with the right spacing to avoid cluttering
- Added video & recipes with descriptions and implement recipes view count.
- Ensure consistent branding and logo placement
- Multiple payments, billing details, and many more incorporated in the checkout process.
Revamped checkout process
When we looked at the shopping cart and checkout process, we have decided to improve the conversation rate in order by either adding a few missing elements or changing the existing ones. We found that billing details were missing in the checkout process.
Furthermore, we’ve decided to incorporate a referral program to keep the client’s repeated customers in the checkout process.
Introduced Pop-Ups
We have created beautiful and contextual popups, banners and bars for Bradley’s Fish mobile and desktop visitors. Pops enables us to communicate a wide range of offers on different pages of the site and target specific visitors. Results are excellent! ROI is great both in terms of growing our lead base and impact on sales.
- Step-2 Upgrade content with new information
How do you write content or a post that goes viral everywhere, generate thousands of links, and brings a long-term search value for your brand? Well, you probably will never get it right at first! Most content marketing experts try to nail all these objectives, but once in a while, you get content that sets everyone on fire! Rather than expecting every piece of content to do wonders, we have broken the content marketing process into different steps for Bradley’s Fish.
Work on content improvement
One of the very first things we started working on was the content of Bradley’s Fish. We knew that people searching for fresh and frozen seafood were our prime target. We wanted them to understand why Bradley’s Frozen Fish is a better choice for them to encourage them to check out the product we had to offer. We have created a separate section for Why frozen fish is better? and share our knowledge to select the right fish for you.
We have also incorporated client testimonials on the website’s homepage to demonstrate Bradley’s fish business’s credibility and level of expertise. It has helped us achieve an improved conversion rate and inspired trust from the potential customers in Bradley’s Fish business.
We could cast a huge pool to bring new customers searching for the frozen seafood by enhancing a huge library of this informative and keyword-focused content. Moreover, it has enabled us to reduce customer abandonment. We have ensured that the testimonials are easy to access while increasing Bradley’s fish customers’ retention.

The key strategy behind their success has been user-generated content by its customer base.
Without spending a single cent on ads, these photos grew the company’s Facebook and Instagrame Fan Page to 5k fans while also boosting their product page conversion rate by 13%.
(Wow!)
Knowing that more customer-contributed recipe photos essentially made them more successful, they then created an environment of encouraging their customers to share more recipe photos.
Here’s what they did:
- A call-to-action found on the candle urging customers to take a recipe photo and share it on social media, exposing their brand to even more potential customers (for free)
- Giveaways that encourage customers to create and share images for a chance to win free products, developing customer loyalty
- Step-4 Getting the help of Google Ads
When it comes to Google AdWords management, it’s like a lot of work to do for us! We have followed an incremental approach to leverage from the Google AdWords management for Bradley’s fish’s marketing campaign.
Starting from search ads in Google search results and shopping ads, we have opted for a structured approach as mentioned below for the Google ad campaign:

We have decided to go for personalized email marketing and share at least two recipes a week. Secondly, we have segmented the customer base of Bradley’s Fish and floated discounts or other offers to grab the potential customers’ attention and increase customer engagement and sales. Such emails about offers and discounts were initiated regularly to the potential customers to follow up with them.
