A D2C seafood brand, built from zero — in a crowded delivery market.

The founder wanted to build a direct-to-consumer seafood business. So we built GetFish, Australia's premier online seafood marketplace — and set out to scale it fast in a category dominated by entrenched online food retailers.

The brief was three-pronged: scale revenue through digital channels, dominate organic visibility in a competitive delivery market, and keep paid-ad performance profitable as spend climbed.

02 · Approach

Build organic authority and paid demand in parallel.

We sequenced organic and paid so they amplified each other. The SEO programme attacked content gaps and technical foundations first, building the authority base that paid couldn't buy.

Google Ads was then layered to capture high-intent demand as rankings landed — and the eCommerce stack was tuned so traffic converted as efficiently as possible.

The growth playbook
3 workstreams

SEO that dominates the SERP

In-depth audits, a content powerhouse and high-authority backlinks delivered 500+ keywords on page one within four months — driving massive non-brand visibility.

Revenue-focused Google Ads

Restructured campaigns around high-converting, purchase-intent terms with advanced audience segmentation and ongoing A/B testing — so paid scaled profitably alongside organic.

eCommerce optimisation at scale

Refined the shopping experience, streamlined checkout flows and implemented conversion-focused CRO to convert hard-won traffic into repeat seafood buyers.

03 · The result

$20M in 24 months — built on 500+ page-one rankings.

Inside the first four months, 500+ keywords reached page one — the visibility base that would compound for the next two years. Organic sessions climbed by 11,000-plus quarter on quarter.

Combined with a profitable paid engine, the brand hit $20M in revenue within 24 months — proof that a category newcomer can outscale entrenched players when the digital strategy is built from the SERP up.
