Nairobi, Kenya
Case Study: Green Spoon
Company Overview: Green Spoon is a vibrant food delivery service based in Nairobi, Kenya. The company offers healthy, delicious meal options designed to cater to busy professionals and health-conscious individuals. The challenge for Green Spoon was to increase their online visibility and drive targeted traffic to their website, greenspoon.co.ke, specifically from the Kenyan audience.
Objective:
The primary goal was to improve Green Spoon’s organic search ranking and attract more visitors from Kenya. This would help build brand awareness, increase website traffic, and ultimately drive more conversions (orders) through their online platform.
Strategy:
- Keyword Research: We began by conducting thorough keyword research to identify the most relevant and high-traffic search terms related to food delivery services, healthy eating, and meal planning in Nairobi, Kenya. Focus was placed on both short-tail and long-tail keywords to ensure a broad reach. We also targeted local terms like “healthy food delivery Nairobi,” “meal plans Nairobi,” and “organic food delivery Kenya” to align with user intent in the region.
- On-Page Optimization: The next step was optimizing the website’s on-page elements, including title tags, meta descriptions, and header tags. We ensured that these elements were tailored to incorporate the target keywords. Additionally, content on the homepage, service pages, and blog section was optimized for both SEO and user experience.
- Local SEO: Given that Green Spoon operates in Nairobi, a local SEO strategy was crucial. We optimized the website for local search terms, claimed and updated the Google My Business profile, and made sure the business information (NAP: Name, Address, Phone) was consistent across online directories. This helped Green Spoon appear in local searches and maps, connecting directly with customers in Nairobi.
- Content Marketing: To engage users and provide value, we implemented a content marketing strategy focused on health tips, nutrition advice, and meal preparation ideas. Blog posts were regularly published, targeting questions and topics related to healthy eating in Kenya. These articles were designed to attract organic traffic, answer user queries, and encourage social shares.
- Link Building: We conducted a strategic link-building campaign to increase Green Spoon’s domain authority. This included reaching out to local food bloggers, influencers, and health-focused websites to get quality backlinks. Additionally, we participated in local online forums and communities to build brand credibility and gain more visibility.
- Mobile Optimization: Considering the high number of mobile users in Kenya, we ensured that the Green Spoon website was fully optimized for mobile devices. A seamless mobile experience improved the website’s performance in mobile search results, leading to increased traffic and better user engagement.
Results:
Over a period of six months, the SEO efforts resulted in significant improvements in website traffic and online visibility:
- Organic Traffic Growth: Organic search traffic increased by 75%, with a steady rise in visitors from Nairobi and other major cities in Kenya.

- Higher Engagement: The blog content attracted more visitors, leading to higher engagement rates, longer time spent on the site, and more page views per visit.
Conclusion:
By implementing a comprehensive SEO strategy tailored to the Kenyan market, Green Spoon achieved remarkable success in increasing both website traffic and conversions. The combination of keyword optimization, local SEO, content marketing, and mobile optimization allowed Green Spoon to dominate the search results for relevant terms and position itself as a top choice for healthy meal delivery in Nairobi.
