About Crave Coffee

Crave Coffee is a UK-based independent coffee brand offering premium coffee products to consumers and businesses online. Passionate about quality and flavour, they had built a loyal customer base — but their website wasn’t converting at the level their product deserved, and their search visibility was holding back growth significantly.

Where They Started

When Crave Coffee approached SEO Bridge, they had great products but a digital presence that wasn’t working hard enough for them:

  • A small website with minimal pages and low conversion rates
  • Little to no organic search visibility for key coffee-related search terms
  • No structured SEO strategy — pages were thin, unoptimised, and poorly structured
  • No backlink profile to speak of, meaning Google had little reason to rank them
  • Strong competitors dominating search results for their core product keywords

Building the Right Foundations

SEO Bridge took a structured, two-phase approach — first fixing the website, then building the authority needed to rank and convert.

1

Website Optimisation & SEO-Friendly Improvements

Rather than rebuilding from scratch, we worked with Crave Coffee’s existing website — identifying the changes that would have the biggest SEO impact and making targeted improvements to structure, content, and technical performance.

  • Technical SEO audit to identify and fix crawl issues, thin pages, and poor site structure
  • Page speed and Core Web Vitals improvements to meet Google’s performance benchmarks
  • Optimised meta titles, descriptions, H1s, and structured data across all key pages
  • Improved internal linking to help Google understand and navigate the site
  • New SEO-focused landing pages built to target high-value search terms
2

Onsite SEO

With the new site in place, we conducted a thorough onsite SEO overhaul to ensure every page was optimised to rank for the right terms and serve the right intent.

  • In-depth keyword research mapped to every product and category page
  • Optimised meta titles, descriptions, H1s, and structured data across the site
  • Content enrichment on key landing pages to improve relevance and depth
  • Internal linking strategy to distribute authority and improve crawlability
  • Technical SEO audit and fixes — sitemaps, canonicals, indexation, and schema
3

Offsite SEO & Link Building

To build Crave Coffee’s authority in Google’s eyes, we implemented a targeted link building campaign focused on quality, relevant placements in the food, drink, and lifestyle space.

  • Outreach to relevant food, drink, and lifestyle publications for editorial coverage
  • Guest posting and digital PR to earn high-authority backlinks
  • Local citation building to strengthen brand presence and trust signals
  • Competitor backlink analysis to identify and target key link opportunities

Sales Doubled in a Matter of Months

Within just a few months of the new site launch and SEO campaign going live, Crave Coffee saw dramatic improvements across every key metric.

Breaking Down the Impact

Website Optimisation

By identifying and fixing the right technical and on-page issues — without a full rebuild — we were able to make rapid improvements to how Google interpreted and ranked the site. New ranking pages targeting high-value search terms began gaining traction quickly, and content adjustments across existing pages improved relevance and depth. Bounce rate dropped by 52% and pages per session increased by 178%, showing that both users and search engines were responding positively to the improvements made.

Onsite SEO

With a fully optimised site structure in place, organic search traffic grew by 156% within the campaign period. Crave Coffee now ranks in the top five positions on Google for over 20 target keywords, including highly competitive terms in the coffee and specialty drinks space. The combination of keyword-rich content, technical fixes, and a well-structured internal linking strategy gave Google exactly what it needed to rank the site with confidence.

Offsite SEO & Link Building

The link building campaign delivered a 230% growth in Crave Coffee’s backlink profile, with placements secured across relevant food, drink, and lifestyle publications. This increase in domain authority accelerated the onsite SEO results significantly, with rankings improving at a faster pace once the offsite campaign gained momentum. The combination of high-quality content and authoritative links proved to be the catalyst that drove the overall doubling of online sales.

We knew our products were great — we just couldn’t get enough people to find us online. SEO Bridge rebuilt our website and within a few months our sales had doubled. The difference has been incredible. They took the time to understand our brand, our customers, and our goals, and delivered results that have genuinely changed the trajectory of the business.
