of end-to-end leadership

The context

Mon Petit Herbier is an e-commerce business specialising in CBD products. The sector combines two major difficulties: aggressive competition and a de facto ban on the main advertising channels (Google Ads and Meta heavily restrict CBD). All growth therefore had to come from organic search, conversion and customer loyalty.

The challenge

Growing revenue sustainably with no advertising budget, relying solely on organic search, conversion optimisation, customer relationships and platform reliability.

The engagement

Over two and a half years, the engagement covered end-to-end e-commerce leadership: strategy and roadmap, business trade-offs, SEO and GEO, conversion optimisation, Shopify development, CRM, systems integration and dashboards, working with the in-house teams and external partners.

The levers we activated

SEO & GEO

Technical optimisation (Core Web Vitals, indexing, architecture), rebuilt internal linking, optimisation of categories and product pages, content strategy and monitoring via Search Console and Semrush. Early work on optimisation for AI engines (GEO).

Conversion & UX

Continuous improvement of product pages, categories and the checkout funnel: navigation, mobile experience, payment methods, trust signals and calls to action, measured at every iteration.

Shopify platform

Management of functional development: themes, apps, Shopify Markets (international), Shopify B2B, pricing rules and promotions, payment methods.

CRM & loyalty

Structuring the customer relationship: segmentation, newsletters, marketing automation and loyalty programmes, the second growth engine alongside SEO.

IT, data & AI

Shopify to ERP integration (Hiboutik): product, stock, order and logistics flows. Management dashboards (revenue, conversion, traffic, average order value, SEO). Progressive integration of AI tools into SEO and content processes.

The results

Monthly revenue: +167% over 18 months
Organic traffic: from 5,000 to 22,000 clicks per 28-day period (+340%), measured in Google Search Console
Growth achieved with no advertising budget, in a regulated sector
A durable foundation: a reliable platform, integrated systems, dashboards and documented processes

This growth was the result of collective work with the Mon Petit Herbier team. The role held: setting the strategy, prioritising the workstreams and implementing the majority of the optimisations, which is precisely what e-commerce leadership involves.

What this case shows

This case illustrates the method applied to every engagement: diagnose what is limiting growth, concentrate effort on the highest-impact levers (here SEO and conversion, since advertising was not an option), equip decision-making with reliable data, and build a lasting asset rather than one-off results.
