Challenges
Kansas City Steak Company was searching for ways to enhance its online presence, grow brand awareness, and drive more sales, from both new and repeat customers. They were coming off an atypical covid pandemic year which, because people were living more isolated and ordering food online for home-prepared meals at historic levels, their customer base had experienced immense growth. As the original isolation tendencies of the pandemic waned, Kansas City Steak Company wanted to be certain they were doing everything they could to maintain the positive momentum of their brand and products.
As people were slowly returning to everyday life and not spending as much time at home, it was clear that fewer people were searching for keywords related to the Kansas City Steak Company products. They were seeing 20-25% decreases in available search impressions on non-branded keywords, year over year. As a result, revenue and conversion numbers were suffering. Ad spending, moving forward, was to be reduced across all digital channels.
