01 / BACKGROUND

A trust-driven category with almost no off-site visibility

Before this engagement, Rooted Owl's product pages weren't doing enough to convert the traffic they had, and the brand had little visibility anywhere beyond its own site — no presence on Reddit or product listing sites, no educational content to bring in top-of-funnel visitors, an unoptimized Google Merchant listing, and no clear path guiding new visitors from "just learning" to "ready to buy." Retention was also being left on the table.
