COMPANY PROFILE

This client is one of the UK’s largest beauty and skincare ecommerce destinations, operating at a scale where even small percentage improvements translate into significant revenue. 

With millions of monthly sessions and an enormous product catalogue spanning skincare, makeup, and haircare, the challenge here was fundamentally different from working with a smaller brand.

At this scale, growth cannot come from a handful of quick wins. It requires a genuinely strategic, prioritised approach across technical SEO, content, category architecture, and- increasingly – visibility in AI-powered search engines, where beauty and skincare research is becoming an ever more common use case.

Note: Due to an active NDA, the client's name and brand identity cannot be disclosed publicly in this case study.

THE CHALLENGE

Monetize existing visibility

  • × A massive product catalogue where technical and content issues at scale had an outsized impact on overall organic performance
  • × Intense competition from other large UK beauty retailers with equally significant SEO investment and content libraries
  • × No existing strategy for AI search visibility, despite growing evidence that beauty and skincare research increasingly happens through AI-powered search engines
  • × Diminishing returns from traditional SEO tactics alone, requiring a more sophisticated, multi-channel approach to unlock further growth

THE STRATEGY

Scaling organic visibility for a 2M+ pages website

01

Heavy Technical SEO workload

At this scale, technical issues compound quickly across thousands of pages. We prioritised fixes with the widest possible reach across the catalogue.

  • Audited and resolved crawl efficiency issues across a large-scale product catalogue
  • Improved site architecture to strengthen authority flow to high-value category and product pages
  • Optimised Core Web Vitals and page experience signals across key templates
02

Content Strategy at Scale

We built a content system designed to capture demand across every stage of the beauty and skincare research and purchase journey.

  • Developed a scalable content framework covering ingredient education, routines, and product comparisons
  • Prioritised content investment around the highest-revenue product categories
  • Strengthened internal linking between content and commercial category pages
03

AI Search Visibility

We built one of the first genuine AI search visibility strategies in the UK beauty category, positioning the brand ahead of competitors.

  • Structured product and content data for optimal retrieval by AI search engines
  • Built entity and authority signals to strengthen the brand's presence in AI-generated answers
  • Tracked and attributed revenue generated directly from AI search referral traffic
04

Category Architecture Optimisation

We refined the category structure to better reflect real search demand and shopper behaviour across the beauty and skincare vertical.

  • Restructured category pages around genuine customer search intent
  • Improved filtering and navigation to strengthen both UX and long-tail keyword capture
  • Continuously monitored performance and reallocated resources toward the fastest-growing opportunities
