Client Overview

FreshBite Foods is a fast-growing healthy meal delivery brand offering ready-to-eat meals in a competitive food delivery market. Facing pressure from larger rivals, the company needed to boost online visibility, attract loyal customers and maintain efficient advertising spend while scaling its business.

  • Intense market competition: FreshBite faced a highly competitive food delivery market, dominated by Swiggy, Zomato and Uber Eats.
  • Increasing ad costs: Rising CPC and CPM made traditional campaigns less profitable, requiring smarter strategies using Google Ads Service.
  • Customer retention issues: New customers were joining, but repeat orders remained low, affecting revenue growth.
  • Weak social engagement: Limited interaction on social platforms highlighted the need for Meta Ads Service and Facebook Ads Service to boost visibility and engagement.
  • Underutilised advertising channels: Existing campaigns lacked proper optimization, reducing the effectiveness of paid ads across Google and Meta platforms.

Our Strategy

Our strategy focused on using the right mix of Google Ads and Meta Ads to reach customers at different stages of their buying journey.

  • Identified high-intent keywords on Google to capture users actively searching for healthy meal services.
  • Created targeted audience segments on Meta platforms to reach new customers and retarget interested users.
  • Designed clear and engaging ad creatives with strong calls-to-action to improve click-through rates.
  • Focused on conversion tracking to measure real results like purchases and repeat orders.
  • Continuously tested different ads, audiences and budgets to improve performance.
  • Optimised campaigns weekly to reduce costs and increase return on ad spend.

This structured approach helped improve visibility, increase sales and build long-term customer retention.
