Brief & Approach
The challenge

A great product held back by the wrong platform.

Blazing had built a genuinely exceptional range of wholesale sauces and seasonings — SALSA accredited, UK manufactured, and already trusted by over 1,000 restaurants. But their Wix website couldn't keep up. It lacked the infrastructure to handle B2B ordering at scale, offered no integration with their internal stock and fulfilment systems, and was invisible to the very buyers — restaurants, cash & carries, caterers — who represented their biggest commercial opportunity. The SEO strategy in place was broad and unfocused, attracting low-value traffic rather than the high-volume wholesale buyers who would drive real revenue growth.

"We knew the product was there. We just needed the platform and visibility to match it."
