Pala Petfoods, a raw dog food company needed a robust and simple content production system that drives consistent and high-quality organic traffic to their website.

They ran the numbers and determined that SEO would be far too expensive for them at their current stage. At the same time, relying on paid ads was also not a sustainable strategy in the long term.

With the help of ContentGecko, Palapets was able to reduce the investment needed for SEO, which made it possible to achieve positive ROI in the planned timeframe.

“Great solution even for a small team. I can focus on other tasks while ContentGecko handles our website content.”

Mikael Öling Head of Marketing at Pala Petfoods

The overarching strategy was to find the untapped potential for content in the highly competitive field of raw dog food and to fix technical issues on their Shopify platform that directly caused harm to traffic growth.

Their Story

One man’s quest to find the best diet for his dogs

After his family adopted a second dog, Prabha Natarajan, the founder, started paying attention to their diet as one of them had an allergic reaction to some foods.

Not happy with the quality of the ingredients and the number of fillers in their food, he switched over to a different premium brand, without much success. After trying several other brands over the years, with varying levels of success, Prabha arrived at the inevitable conclusion – if he wanted the best food for his dogs, he will have to make it himself. And that is how Pala came into being.

Their Goal

Build a sustainable SEO content system for maximum ROI

Their whole marketing is on the shoulders of Mikael — a brilliant marketing machine with an executive mindset. As all good marketers know there are countless moving parts and the organic traffic pursuit is only a small slice of the whole cake.

With the help of ContentGecko, Mikael aimed to automate as much work as possible and find a sustainable way to produce content and see real business results from it.
