A talented independent baker with a dedicated local following but no real digital presence — relying almost entirely on word of mouth and social media to take orders
No e-commerce capability: customers had to DM or call to place orders, creating friction that cost sales and made demand impossible to forecast
Near-zero Google visibility for any baking or delivery-related searches in Oxfordshire — no SEO foundation, no Google Ads, no structured way to capture demand
As a one-woman operation, the owner needed a system that ran itself — she couldn't afford to spend hours managing ads or responding to enquiries manually
We started with the website because everything else depended on it. The brief was clear: build a Shopify storefront that looked as premium as the product, handled the entire order journey — from browsing to checkout to DPD next-day dispatch — and converted visitors without the owner needing to manually manage anything. Once the store was live, we ran Google Ads targeting high-intent gluten-free bakery searches and a local SEO programme.
Built and launched a Shopify store with full bake-to-order logic, DPD next-day delivery integration, and an artisan-quality shop experience. Set up Google Shopping and Search campaigns targeting gluten-free bakery and dessert delivery searches. Built location and product-specific SEO content. Within weeks of launch, the bakery was fully booked — not just for the current week, but three months ahead.

Revenue
For independent food businesses, the website is the conversion multiplier — every pound spent on ads or SEO compounds when the destination experience matches the product quality. The 3-month booking backlog wasn't a vanity result — it showed that demand generation genuinely outpaced supply.
