Improved Evans Dermalogical’s online presence and brand awareness

Challenges

While Evans Dermalogical was eager to boost the market presence of one of their innovative skincare solutions, they faced a trio of significant hurdles:

• Raising Product Awareness: Evans’ had launched a relatively new product which is the 15 % Vitamin C serum with Ferulic Acid, because of this, they were looking to boost awareness for it and establish their market presence.
• Need for Expertise: To ensure the successful launch of their new product, Evans’ needed experienced digital marketing professionals to fully leverage on the connectivity offered by the internet.
• Financial Constraints: A tight marketing budget meant that Evans’ options were limited. They turned to us for innovative, cost-effective strategies that would help them improve brand awareness for their new product.

Addressing these challenges was crucial for Evans Dermalogical as they aimed to widen their customer reach and strengthen their position in the bustling skincare industry, all the while navigating through the constraints of budget and expertise.

Our Approach

Evans Dermalogical’s Strategic Beauty Boost

For Evans Dermalogical, our targeted campaign not only met but significantly exceeded expectations, illuminating the path to greater brand engagement and customer readiness. Here’s a snapshot of the remarkable achievements:

• Lead Generation Triumph: The “Free Samples” campaign was a resounding success, capturing 2,651 leads and vastly surpassing our initial Key Performance Indicator (KPI) of 1,000 email addresses.
• Shopping Cart Milestone: Our campaign also saw a substantial number of potential customers taking a crucial step towards purchase, with 695 “Add to Carts” recorded. This figure not only overshoots our KPI of 500 but also signals a high level of product interest and readiness to buy among our audience.

Our Approach

When Collectius came to us with significant gaps in their SEO expertise and online visibility, we tailored a comprehensive approach that was designed to overhaul their digital presence and drive measurable improvements. Here's how we proceeded:

• SEO Audit: An on-page and off-page SEO audit was conducted to identify areas for improvement
• Google Search Console Installation: Google Search Console was installed on the Collectius website to monitor and track their analytics
• Digital Content Strategy: We produced a digital content strategy pack to help Collectius enhance their SEO goals
• Backlink Acquisition: Backlinks were purchased to improve Collectius' domain ranking Keyword Research: Extensive keyword research was performed to align content and SEO strategies with relevant search trends

Comprehensive SEO Audit

We initiated our process by conducting a detailed SEO audit for Collectius. This audit was crucial in pinpointing several critical areas where the company was underperforming.

Key issues we found included suboptimal keyword utilisation, missing meta descriptions, and poorly optimised content that wasn't fully aligned with target search queries.

Having identified areas for improvement, the Brew team worked with Collectius’ web development team to implement these fixes.

Following the initial SEO audit, we conducted a focused technical SEO audit for Collectius. A technical SEO audit is a thorough examination of a website’s technical infrastructure as it relates to its visibility and performance in search engines.

It evaluates several key elements, including site architecture, page speed, mobile-friendliness, indexing, crawlability, security, and use of technologies that may impact search engine access and efficiency.

This was a critical step to ensuring that the website’s infrastructure met modern search engine standards, which is pivotal for improving search rankings and user experience. Our audit revealed several key technical issues that needed immediate attention:

Slow Loading Speeds: We identified that the Collectius website had slower than optimal loading times. Slow speeds can significantly affect user experience and negatively impact search engine rankings. To address this, we optimised image sizes, minimised the use of blocking JavaScript, and implemented more efficient caching policies to enhance page load performance.

The Lack of a Sitemap: The absence of a sitemap was another critical gap. Sitemaps are essential as they help search engines more intelligently crawl the site and understand its structure. We created and submitted a comprehensive sitemap to Google, which facilitated better indexing of the website’s pages.

Mobile Optimization: Our audit also found that Collectius’ website was not optimised for mobile users. The Brew team provided detailed guidance to Collectius' web development team on best practices for mobile optimization going forward. This included advice on implementing accelerated mobile pages (AMP), optimising button sizes and touch targets, and ensuring text readability without requiring zoom.

Tracking & Monitoring of Collectius’ Web Performance

To better monitor and track the effectiveness of our strategies, we installed Google Search Console (GSC) on Collectius’ website. GSC allows us to gain valuable insights into the site's traffic, search performance, and any crawling errors, thereby enabling us to make data-driven decisions.

With data from GSC, we can identify which pages are performing well and which might require further optimization. This helps us refine SEO strategies and target specific issues with precision.

Digital Content Strategy

Recognizing the importance of content in SEO success, we crafted a comprehensive digital content strategy pack specifically tailored to Collectius' needs.

This strategy involved developing four customer personas and two end-user personas, representing the diverse segments of Collectius' audience. These personas helped us understand the distinct needs, behaviours, and preferences of different user types that interact with Collectius' services.

From this foundation, we were able to pinpoint the types of content and topics that would resonate most strongly with each persona. Leveraging these insights, we developed a series of SEO-optimised articles.

Each article was carefully written by our copywriter who made sure that keywords used were relevant with Collectius’ offerings and aligned with the interests of potential clients.

Taking this approach allowed us to attract more organic traffic to their site and significantly enhance visibility for these targeted search terms.

Backlink Acquisition

To strengthen Collectius’ domain authority and improve their search engine ranking, we strategically acquired high-quality backlinks. This effort was aimed at boosting their profile against competitors and increasing the trustworthiness of their site in the eyes of search engines.

Through our targeted backlink acquisition efforts, we gradually improved the organic traffic to Collectius' site.

As their domain authority increased, so did their visibility in search engine results, leading to more visitors naturally finding their way to the website without the need for paid advertising.

This steady increase in organic traffic not only enhanced their online presence but also contributed to higher engagement and conversion rates.

Outstanding SEO Results for Collectius

Our comprehensive SEO strategy delivered impressive results for Collectius, significantly enhancing their online visibility and search engine performance. Here are some of the key achievements:
