About the Client

750+ Products.
17 Years in Business.

Amba Foods is a Melbourne-based Indian food manufacturer and wholesaler founded in 2007. They produce more than 750 authentic Indian products — from Motichoor Ladoo and Kaju Katli to pastries, savoury snacks, ready-to-heat meals, and their own Wirsa snack range.

Products are stocked in Indian grocery stores across Australia. Despite being one of Melbourne's most established Indian food manufacturers, their website and online presence didn't reflect the scale or quality of what they produce.

The Problem

A Great Product.
A Website
Holding It Back.

Old WordPress site: slow, plugin-heavy, hard to maintain

Poor Google visibility — invisible for the keywords that matter

Didn't reflect manufacturing scale or product quality

No clear path for dual B2C + B2B (wholesale) audiences

Security and update overhead typical of WordPress builds

The Solution

Why We Rebuilt on Astro.

Before

WordPress

  • Slow, plugin-dependent performance
  • Constant security patching required
  • SEO needs plugins (Yoast, etc.)
  • Bloated page weight
  • Hard to maintain and update
After

Astro

  • Ships zero JS by default — sub-1s loads
  • Static-first, minimal attack surface
  • SEO-clean, semantic HTML out of the box
  • 90+ Lighthouse, lean pages
  • Fast to update, version-controlled

What We Did

Four services. Website leads.

01

Website Redesign & Build

Full WordPress → Astro rebuild. SEO architecture, keyword mapping, and a dual-audience B2C/B2B structure designed around how Amba's two customer types actually browse.

02

SEO Foundation

Semantic HTML structure, keyword targeting across product and category pages, technical SEO (schema, sitemaps, meta), and content architecture that earned #1 rankings.

03

Social Media Management

Ongoing monthly engine — 5 posts/week across Instagram and Facebook. Brand-matched to Amba's gold palette. Consistency, not one-off campaigns.

04

AI-Powered Reels & Content

Veo3 AI reels with Hindi-English voiceovers. Product storytelling across the Pastry, Pizza, and Wirsa ranges. Hook → Product → Kitchen → CTA structure.

The Results

Built once. Ranking, loading,
and converting ever since.
