2,400 Visits in Five Months From a Blog That Started at One Click

This brand makes transdermal patches, topicals, and tinctures in a category most shoppers do not understand yet. That is the opportunity. People search how a patch works, where to place it, and how it differs from a cream long before they search for a brand. In the six months before Nina, the blog produced a single click. Five months in, it produces thousands.

Educational content as the growth driver

The comparison shoppers make before they choose

Category education compounds

In five months this blog went from one click to 2,400, and from no meaningful visibility to 199,000 impressions, at an average position on page one. The category is still being explained to the market, which means every question answered now keeps earning as more people start asking it.
