The Challenge

Essential Pathway’s website had some great content, yet stagnant traffic and very few email signups.

We put together a campaign of SEO, content marketing, and email conversion rate optimization.

The increased search traffic combined with a unique online tool and irresistible "lead magnet" (email freebie) brought them exponential growth for their email list.

What We Did

01

Website Redesign

Through extensive wireframing, we improved user experience (UX), design, and SEO structure of this 200+ page website.

02

Email Signup Optimization

Offering a weekly email freebie series and unlocking premium content on the site greatly increased email signups.

03

SEO

The whole redesign was guided by SEO principles including a content plan, official blog launch, structured video gallery, research database and more.

Content Marketing & SEO

We & Goliath designed Essential Pathways’ free Inner Oracle Cards tool, and collection of free Guided Imagery Scripts.

We then performed 2 years of SEO getting dozens of top 10 rankings. This brought steady year over year increases in traffic.

Then, we moved elements of their most popular content behind an email signup form (eg: audio files and the Inner Oracle Cards tool) to increase lead generation.

A Guided Imagery script page, Limiting Belief - It Hurts to Love, gated behind an email form reading Enter Your Email to Listen to this Clearing for FREE A visits chart climbing steadily from early 2011 to the end of 2013, reaching 7,692 visits in January 2013

Email Signup Optimization

We also helped the client design a free “email list magnet” which turned into a giant hit.

We finished it off with powerful copywriting for all their email signup forms.

In total, the client experienced a 2,800% Increase in Monthly Email Signups

The Inner Oracle Cards signup: Get FREE access, used by over 100,000 visitors, with four visitor quotes and a form A list-growth chart flat below 200 subscribers through 2010 to 2012, then rising steeply past 1,200 in 2013
