SEO Strategy

Establishing an SEO Foundation

Our SEO team conducted keyword research and technical audits to build a scalable SEO foundation aligned to how consumers search for sun care products. The research uncovered high-intent queries around SPF levels, ingredients, and skin types that Sun Bum could own.
