Case Study: The Elgin Doula — Helping a Niche Brand Get Seen, Found & Booked

Building Visibility for a Birth & Lactation Team Rooted in Faith and Compassion

The Challenge

ABOUT The Elgin Doula

The Elgin Doula is a Christian birth and postpartum support practice offering doula care, lactation consulting, and prenatal education in the Chicago area. When they partnered with The Mina Company in early 2025, they were ready to be seen by more families — but needed help getting found online, optimizing their traffic, and turning visits into inquiries.

The Challenge: With a beautiful brand and a heart-centered mission, The Elgin Doula had all the right pieces — but not enough visibility. Their Google presence was minimal, conversion tracking wasn’t yet reliable, and paid traffic wasn’t converting consistently. Our role was to create a clear foundation for growth: visibility, clarity, and results.

 

Our Strategy

We focused on setting up scalable marketing systems that could grow with the practice:

  • Launched and managed Google Ads + Meta Ads for both awareness and leads

  • Implemented SEO maintenance to build search visibility and rankings

  • Provided blog optimization and topic strategy (AI-assisted content for birth topics)

  • Resolved tracking issues and implemented form conversion setup

  • Delivered monthly reporting, campaign adjustments, and education

THE IMPACT: With a clear SEO foundation and ads that drive results, The Elgin Doula now has the tools to grow confidently — without guessing. Their website performs stronger, their content supports their mission, and they’ve built a system that reflects both their faith and their professionalism.

The Results

Website & SEO

  • Search visibility increased by +19.58% within the first month

  • 44 keywords ranking on page 1 of Google, including:

    • high-risk pregnancy doula support

    • Christian doula Elgin

    • Bradley method classes Chicago

  • Top pages included:

    • High-Risk Pregnancy Doulas

    • Doula Practice Overview

    • Prenatal Coaching Services

  • Bounce rate dropped 8–12% after page optimization

Ads & Conversions:

  • Google Ads click-through rates (CTR) between 1.78–2.36%

  • Meta Ads reach: 14,000+ with 5,700+ landing page views

  • Cost-per-click as low as $1.94, well below industry average

“The Elgin Doula had a beautiful brand — we helped it get in front of the right families and start booking more consistently online.”

Do Doula Practices Really Benefit from Google Ads + SEO?

Yes — especially in competitive local markets.
Most families search online for doula care, childbirth classes, and lactation support — often without knowing what to look for. We helped The Elgin Doula show up on Google, reduce ad spend waste, and speak directly to the clients who value faith-based, full-spectrum birth care. With SEO and ads working together, they built visibility and trust at the same time.

We believe a business should be measured by more than what it earns. So every year, we put our money where our mission is. Behind every client campaign we run, we're also running strategy, content, and creative for organizations doing real good in our community, completely in-kind. This year that adds up to more than $18,000 in donated marketing work for local nonprofits. We don't do it for recognition. We do it because the causes we believe in deserve the same caliber of work we'd give any paying client, and because a healthier community is good for all of us.

Ep. 6 is out now: The Season of Letting Go 🌊 When Erica’s fifth grader came home upset about a history test, the old Erica would have spiraled. Did we study enough? What does this say about me as a mom? This time, she let it go. They made a simple plan for next time and went to bed. This episode is about that kind of letting go, with the little things and the big ones. Erica gets into how AI is shaking the ground under her business (and why she’s loving it), what it takes to step back and let your team lead even when it’s not done exactly your way, and how she makes decisions from a place of calm when everything is moving at once. Listen here https://ericavandersande.com/podcast or wherever you listen to podcasts! #ConversationsInTheDark #LettingGo #WomenInBusiness #FemaleFounder #Entrepreneurship #AIforBusiness #Leadership #Motherhood #SmallBusinessPodcast

Most businesses run their channels in silos. Ads over here, SEO over there, social doing its own thing. Nobody's connecting them. And a lot of the time they're not just disconnected, they're not that strategic to begin with. Both things hold you back. The real wins come when your channels are actually good and actually working together, all pointed at the same goal. Once they're connected, your numbers start making sense. You can finally see what's driving your leads instead of guessing between platforms that never agree. That's what we build for our clients. Want to see if yours are pulling in the same direction?

Everyone wants the top spot on Google. Our goal is to get you there, first page and ultimately the #1 spot, in the shortest amount of time possible. We'll be honest with you though: SEO is a long game and results take time. We tell clients to expect little movement in the first 3 months after setup, then slow, steady growth month over month, as long as you're keeping up with monthly maintenance. The clients who win at this treat it as a long game. That's exactly how we run it, and we've got the rankings to show for it. Curious where you stand today? Let's talk. DM us or visit theminacompany.com
