Advertising CBD products online is always a challenge, but the challenge is even bigger when a brand has a smaller budget they wish to scale as sales grow. Mad Ritual wanted to raise brand awareness and drive sales without risking the long-term viability of brand assets, particularly on Facebook, by triggering ad violations.

Optimize ads performance and search engine rankings

This client did not have an established SEO program in place. The client was paying more for paid ads to build brand awareness and sales and decided to pivot to leverage SEO to increase targeted, qualified traffic.

Please read the Process overview first.

Olivela went against the expert opinions of not only myself, but our paid social lead and their Facebook rep. They wanted to set up their ad sets in a very niche way by targeting each celebrity and their charity. For example, one ad set for Jennifer Anniston and one ad set for St. Jude. Not only did I struggle with targeting challenges, but creative issues as well. The celebrities and charity's representation were later seeing the creative live on their feeds and telling Olivela they were not approved, so I had to pause ads and/or launch new ones. The algorithm was consistently being reset almost on a daily basis due to unforeseen circumstances on Olivela's side.
