HOW WE WORK

Taking an Export Brand Global with Digital

HDL FOOD (India) Private Limited is one of India’s pioneer organizations in the business of FMCG import and export. Based in Rajkot, Gujarat, they export a wide range of products — dry fruits, pulses, blended spices, fertilizers and other grocery commodities — to 20+ countries including Dubai, Uganda, Kenya and Madagascar.

Despite a strong product portfolio and an established global distribution network, HDL Global had no structured digital marketing strategy. They were relying entirely on trade show participation and word-of-mouth referrals to generate international buyer inquiries — an approach that was expensive, unpredictable, and not scalable.

DFLY was brought in to build and execute a comprehensive digital growth engine — from search engine visibility to targeted paid advertising — with a focused goal: generate consistent, high-quality B2B export inquiries from international markets at a lower cost than trade events.

THE PROBLEM

Challenge & Solution

Challenges Faced

  • No structured digital marketing strategy  100% dependent on trade shows and referrals for international leads
  • Website not ranking on Google for key export-related search terms in UAE, UK and African markets
  • Zero paid advertising presence on Google or Meta — leaving high-intent buyers to competitors
  • No dedicated landing pages for individual product categories, leading to poor inquiry conversion rates
  • Inconsistent social media presence with no B2B-focused content targeting international wholesale buyers
  • High cost-per-lead from trade events with no way to measure ROI or scale results digitally

Our Approach

  • Full digital audit — website, competitors, and international search behavior analysis across 6 target countries
  • SEO overhaul with B2B export-intent keywords: product pages, meta tags, schema markup and technical fixes
  • Google Search Ads targeting high-intent buyers searching “Indian dry fruit exporter”, “bulk spice supplier UAE” etc.
  • Meta Ads with custom B2B audiences — wholesale importers, grocery distributors and food procurement managers
  • Dedicated product landing pages with strong CTAs, trust signals (certifications, global offices) and fast inquiry forms
  • High cost-per-lead from trade events with no way to measure ROI or scale results digitally
