Northbound Outdoors — Seventeen years of goodwill, invisible online.

The starting point

Northbound had two busy stores and a website that read like a catalogue. Customers researched online, bought elsewhere, and the team had no way of seeing it happen. Nothing in the funnel was measured.

What we did

  1. 01

    Audited the full journey and found three quarters of product searches ended on a page with no stock information.

  2. 02

    Rebuilt the site around gear guides written by the store staff, with live availability on every product.

  3. 03

    Ran paid search against high-intent local terms and rebuilt tracking so in-store visits were attributable.

The result.
