The Challenge

Cabot Creamery needed a digital experience that supported both brand storytelling and measurable growth across search, email, and retention. With a robust content ecosystem and established audience, the focus was on better connecting SEO and retention efforts to drive visibility, engagement, and conversion.

We conducted multiple audits throughout the engagement to take a holistic approach to website updates, focusing on conversion rate optimization, preparing the site for the holidays, and streamlining the customer journey.

We redesigned Cabot’s site architecture to streamline the customer journey, enhance product discovery, and support their growing product line—creating more opportunities for users to engage with the brand both online and offline.

To boost AOV and conversion rates, we optimized Cabot Creamery's cart by incorporating free shipping incentives, upsells, gift messages, and quick checkout options.

We strategically optimized the recipe detail page and featured modules on the homepage to enhance customer engagement, making it easier for customers to cook at home with Cabot products.

We audited Cabot's gifting experience and recommended improvements for the holiday season, including a gift card page, gifting bundles, and a gift guide. We helped Cabot reinforce their mission by integrating a donation feature on the PDP and in the cart, making it easy for customers to give back.

We launched an interactive Digital Journey that showcases all the places customers can experience Cabot firsthand—from farms and retail stores in the Northeast to events across the country.

To boost on-site engagement, we created an interactive Digital Charcuterie Board quiz that delivers personalized recipe and product recommendations, followed by an automated email flow with tailored results.

Why It Matters

The integrated approach helped Cabot build stronger momentum across the entire customer journey. By aligning search visibility with retention efforts, the brand saw measurable increases in organic traffic, engagement, and email and SMS performance, showing how combining long-term traffic growth with retention strategy can meaningfully drive conversions.

Impact

Targeted SEO and retention efforts increased Cabot’s visibility, engagement, and conversion momentum across search, email, and SMS. This holistic approach created measurable gains at every stage of the funnel.
