The Opportunity

Sun Bum had a lot of great information to share about its products, ingredients, and certifications. But they needed clearer insight into how their content stacked up against competitors, and where the white space was to lead the conversation.

The Insight

By comparing Sun Bum’s search performance with its top competitors, we could identify valuable keyword gaps based on popular, topical searches. This revealed where new content could capture demand and where existing content could work harder.

Content Gap Analysis

Finding the white space in search

We compared Sun Bum’s keyword rankings with its top competitors to identify content gaps and areas to defend. The analysis uncovered an opportunity around certifications such as vegan, cruelty-free, and reef-safe. We then targeted “cruelty-free” terms in page titles while Sun Bum promoted its certifications on social media, helping improve rankings and earn an organic backlink from Bustle about vegan and cruelty-free sunscreen.
