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.

  • 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.

Most agencies do lock you in. Minimum spends that don't fit your budget, contracts that keep running even when business slows down, and you have no idea if they're even working. That's not how we do it. We built our ads model around the reality of running a small business, because we are one. Your budget isn't the same every month. Your busy season looks different than your slow season. Some months you're ready to go all in, and some months you just need to pause and catch your breath. We work with all of it. No minimums, no long-term contracts, no pressure. Just a strategy built around what you actually have to work with and results that give you the room to grow. How can we help you? Send us a DM or visit theminacompany.com

Behind the scenes with the Fort Collins Downtown Development Authority. 📹 The DDA has been at the heart of Old Town Fort Collins since 1981, building the kind of downtown that makes people want to stay, come back, and invest. Getting to work alongside an organization that genuinely shapes the cultural and economic fabric of a community is exactly the kind of work we get out of bed for. Shoutout to @pipelineproductionhouse for being on set to film.
