A website can attract hundreds of visitors through Google search.
Additionally, it should also serve as a hub for potential customers who find you through social media or referrals.
However, many companies find themselves in the following situation:
- Their website doesn’t generate leads, leaving sales teams to carry the full burden of customer acquisition.
- The content is technically strong, but written by scientists, not marketers, so it isn’t optimized for discoverability and the traffic is low.
- Social media doesn’t attract prospects. They mostly shared peer-reviewed articles, which doesn’t start conversations or send people to the website.
A Life Sciences company with over 200 employees —from now on, The Brand— faced this exact same problem.
They came to a fantastic marketing agency I collaborate with, looking for a clear strategy to drive meaningful website traffic.
Tired of a Website that Doesn’t Generate Leads?
Instead of chasing quick wins (for example running a few ads that will increase followers quickly), we focused on building strong foundations. The three-part strategy included:
- Clear Marketing & Communication Strategy
- Created a detailed brand analysis, from customer personas to company unique selling points, aligning content with audience needs and market advantages.
- Refined the brand’s message to focus on benefits over technical jargon
- Established a consistent brand voice: scientifically credible, but approachable
- Website Optimization & SEO
- Added clear call-to-actions (CTA) to guide visitors through the site
- Integrated high-intent keywords and optimized metadata
- Improved site structure for better discoverability and user experience
- 👉 Result: +94% organic search traffic in six months
- Social Media Revamp
- Social media is a great way to attract people to the website. We created a content strategy to make posts beyond peer-reviewed papers.
- Introduced engaging and branded content
- Balanced scientific credibility with shareable formats
- 👉 Result: +605% organic social traffic and +232% referral traffic




The strategy was designed to create sustainable growth without having to rebuild everything from scratch.
Increased Website Traffic in just 6 months
The transformation was clear and measurable:
- ✅ +94% organic search traffic
- ✅ +605% organic social traffic
- ✅ +232% referral traffic
- ✅ +176% direct traffic
- 👉 +184% total website traffic
And all of this was achieved without paid ads.
Instead of spending $30–50/day on PPC campaigns (typical in the industry), we built a digital foundation that delivers ongoing visibility and inbound traffic.
But more importantly we created workflows and structures to promote consistent lead generation.
Conclusions
- Even excellent technical content must be optimized for discoverability and engagement
- With the right strategy, SEO and content deliver growth without a full rebuild.
- Organic traffic takes time, at least 3-6 months to see the impact
