The Challenge

Epicuren needed to boost their sales from organic search results. They had virtually no organic visibility for DTC (Direct-to-Consumer) eCommerce pages. Not only that, but their products and content did not rank prominently in the first page of search results, and organic search was only driving a small percentage of sales.

Our Approach

Red Door catered our approach to their needs by implementing technical best practices and content-focused SEO tactics to drive organic visibility for priority pages on Epicuren.com. This would include new keyword research and mapping, a technical SEO audit, content audit, competitive gap analysis, and redirect mapping for their redesigned site.

The Solution

To make the Epicuren.com revamp a successful one, we improved organic search visibility by identifying and improving various aspects of the site. Here is a detailed breakdown:

As part of our technical SEO audit, we:

Fixed incorrect URLs in the sitemap
Fixed broken links & 404 errors
Implemented an internal linking structure
Fixed missing Schema.org structured data

For the content audit, we optimized the following elements to improve performance in search results:

Title tags
Meta descriptions
H1-H6 headings
Link anchor text
Image alt text
Page copy

Finally, we created new content as part of our website redesign project, based on our content gap analysis of Epicuren and their top three competitors. Topics included:

Skin types (oily, dry, sensitive, etc.)
Cleansers & masks
Product ingredients
Moisturizers

The Results

Through our careful assessment of Epicuren.com and tailored SEO tactics, we positioned the beauty brand in organic search results as the prestige skincare provider. The numbers are stunning:
