01 · Challenge

A premium brand in a tightly regulated category.

Krush Organics is a premium CBD eCommerce brand in Australia — strong product, sharp positioning, ambitious growth targets. The challenge was where they had to win: a category where every ad policy, every keyword and every claim is tightly regulated.

Ranking for terms like "CBD oil Australia" is competitive at the best of times. Without a long-term, compliant strategy, the brand was leaning too heavily on paid traffic and not building the organic base needed to scale.

02 · Approach

Compliant by design, aggressive by intent.

We ran SEO, Google Ads and eCommerce optimisation as one programme — built around the regulatory realities of the category and the unit economics of a premium DTC brand.

Every play was designed to compound: organic for long-term authority, paid for high-intent capture, CRO to make sure the lifted traffic actually bought.

The growth playbook
4 workstreams

SEO at depth

A full technical audit, indexing fixes and content built around high-converting CBD-related search terms drove 179 keywords onto page one — organic dominance in one of Australia's most regulated verticals.

Conversion-focused Google Ads

We built compliant, hyper-targeted paid campaigns that captured high-intent buyers without breaching ad policy — maximising every paid dollar in a category where most can't run at all.

eCommerce optimisation

We rebuilt the buyer journey, sharpened product page UX and ran a focused CRO programme so every percentage-point improvement compounded with the lifted traffic.

Integrated digital strategy

Paid and organic worked as a single growth engine, not two separate budgets — scalable, attributable and built for compounding revenue.

03 · The result

+195% revenue, 1,353 orders, 179 page-one keywords.

Inside 90 days, revenue lifted 195% — a near-tripling from the same baseline — driven by the synergy of organic and paid working together.

By six months, the funnel had delivered 1,353 orders and 179 keywords were ranking on page one of Google. Website traffic grew 44% year on year, building the organic base the brand needed to scale beyond paid.
