Grounding Mat AU is an Australian-based eCommerce business specialising in grounding (earthing) products to enhance health and well-being. Their product line includes grounding mats, sheets, and accessories that allow users to connect with the Earth’s natural energy indoors.
The Brief
We were brought on to launch the brand in Australia from the ground up. Our role included:
Designing a clean, conversion-optimised Shopify website
Creating a trustworthy and educational brand voice
Driving qualified traffic through paid and organic channels
Turning a niche concept into a relatable, sellable solution
Educating a brand-new market in a simple, engaging way
The Challenges
Despite offering a high-quality product and having exclusive dealership rights in Australia, the brand faced:
Low brand awareness in a niche, underdeveloped category
A market unfamiliar with grounding or its benefits
Decent traffic but poor conversion rates
High cart abandonment
No existing digital marketing strategy in place
They needed a full-service solution—from design to sales funnel—to get traction fast.

We focused on three key pillars: education, visibility, and trust.

Added social proof, product certifications, and FAQs to build trust

2. SEO & Content Marketing
Wrote blog content around key searches like “What is grounding?” and “Benefits of grounding mats”
Targeted SEO keywords: grounding mat Australia, earthing sheets, better sleep naturally
Built a strong internal linking structure and content plan to grow organic visibility
3. Paid Advertising (Google & Meta)
Launched Google Search & Shopping campaigns targeting high-intent keywords
Created Facebook and Instagram ads focused on lifestyle benefits and user results
Built a full retargeting funnel to re-engage warm audiences
4. Email Marketing Automation
Developed a welcome series focused on education and first-time buyer confidence
Implemented cart recovery and post-purchase email flows
Used time-sensitive offers and value-based messaging to boost repeat sales
