Where They Were

Welzo is a DTC health-tech platform offering at-home health testing, personalised health insights, and condition-specific products. Despite strong product breadth, paid channels were underperforming, the website was converting below its potential, email was barely contributing to revenue, and acquisition, conversion, and retention were operating as disconnected silos with no unified growth strategy.
I was brought in to build and execute the full-funnel marketing strategy , spanning paid media, website CRO, lifecycle automation, and retention programme development.

What Was Broken

How I Fixed It

Paid Acquisition Scaling , Google & Meta

The paid channels needed a structural rebuild before they could be scaled. I restructured campaign architecture by funnel stage , separating prospecting, retargeting, and retention audiences , developed new creative frameworks combining health outcome messaging with UGC and clinical proof formats, applied Performance Max and Advantage+ with layered audience signals, and introduced a continuous creative testing cycle to maintain performance and prevent fatigue.
From underscaled, inefficient campaigns to 3.6x ROAS across Google and Meta , with higher acquisition volume and no proportional increase in cost per acquisition, driven by better creative and sharper audience segmentation.

Website Conversion Rate Optimisation

In DTC health, trust isn’t optional , it’s a conversion requirement. I conducted a full conversion audit, strengthened trust signals throughout the funnel including clinical accreditations, GP endorsements, and data privacy assurances, redesigned landing page flows to reduce cognitive load, streamlined checkout by reducing steps and clarifying health data handling, and ran A/B tests across CTAs and trust signal placement.
Website conversion rate reached 3.9% , above the DTC health industry average of 2–3% ,from a below-potential site losing customers to trust gaps and checkout friction, to a streamlined, credibility-anchored experience with higher-intent purchase completions.

Email & Lifecycle Marketing Automation

Welzo’s health data created a significant personalisation opportunity that was almost entirely untapped. I built automated flows aligned to key health journey moments , post-purchase onboarding, test result delivery, condition-specific follow-up, and reorder triggers , and introduced segmentation by health category, purchase history, and test result profile to improve relevance across every send.
Email grew to drive ~28% of total revenue, from a largely manual, low-impact channel to a primary revenue driver with automated flows that improved open, click, and conversion rates across every health journey segment.

Retention & Repeat Purchase Programme

One-time health test buyers have enormous lifetime value potential , if the post-purchase experience gives them a reason to return. I built personalised post-purchase flows guiding customers through their results and recommending condition-specific next steps, developed repeat purchase trigger sequences based on product type and health test cadence, and created condition-specific content programmes to sustain engagement between purchase cycles.
Repeat purchase rate improved by +24% , from a flat post-purchase experience with no personalisation to a health journey-aligned retention programme that reduced time between first and second purchase and built sustained platform engagement.

The Business Outcome & Impact

Welzo went from four disconnected marketing functions, each underperforming in isolation , to a unified, full-funnel revenue engine where every stage compounded the one before it. Better-targeted paid traffic arrived at a more trustworthy site, converted at a higher rate, received personalised lifecycle communication aligned to their health journey, and returned to purchase again sooner.
The defining insight in DTC health is that clinical credibility and commercial performance are the same objective. Customers deciding what to do with their health data need trust, education, and personalisation , and when the marketing system is built to deliver all three, conversion and retention follow naturally. The 42% revenue growth in five months was the cumulative result of every layer working together, not any single tactic working in isolation.
