The Client
Blending ancient heritage with modern digital retail.
The client is a premium Ayurvedic skincare brand and a flagship name in the luxury FMCG space. Rooted in traditional natural formulations and a wellness-first philosophy, the brand offers high-end skincare products designed to address specific customer concerns. The company sells its products through leading e-commerce marketplaces and its own digital channels.
As the online beauty and skincare market continues to grow, the brand faces intense competition from both mass-market cosmetics companies and niche natural beauty startups. To protect its luxury positioning and capture market share, the brand needed to stand out on search result pages and make it easier for customers to discover its premium skincare line.
The Challenge
Disconnected metrics and hidden products.
Despite strong brand awareness, the company struggled with limited organic search visibility for high-volume category and skin-concern keywords on Amazon and other search platforms. This weak presence on digital shelves hurt the brand's discoverability, customer acquisition, and repeat purchase rates in a crowded market.
Additionally, the brand had a fragmented view of product performance. Because sales, traffic, and search ranking data were split across different platforms and distributor accounts, the marketing team could not track performance at the SKU level. This made it difficult to identify underperforming listings and optimize product content for click-through rate (CTR) and share of shelf.
Low search visibility for high-volume generic beauty keywords and specific skincare concern queries.
Disconnected search presence on e-commerce marketplaces, reducing customer reach.
Fragmented data across sales channels, which prevented real-time optimization of individual product pages.
What our audit found
Sifting through fragmented search signals.
We began the project with a review of the brand's marketplace listings, keyword relevance, and tracking systems. The review showed that while the brand's products were high quality, the online listings did not match how customers search for Ayurvedic skincare solutions.
Product titles and descriptions focused on internal branding names rather than search terms like "moisturizer for sensitive skin" or "natural anti-aging serum." Many product listings also lacked the backend search terms and metadata needed for marketplace search engines to index them properly. Finally, the lack of a centralized performance dashboard meant the marketing team could not track search impressions and CTRs across different SKUs, preventing them from making timely listing updates.
Product titles and descriptions did not target common consumer skincare concerns, limiting organic reach.
Outdated or missing metadata on product pages reduced the brand's ranking potential.
Siloed sales and marketing data prevented the team from identifying and updating underperforming product pages.
The Solution
How we turned it around.
Tracking the shopper journey in real time.
We built a real-time analytics framework to track the shopper journey and monitor SKU-level performance across the brand's digital channels. This system allowed the marketing team to track how shoppers moved from search results to product pages and checkout.
By analyzing this behavior, we identified product pages where customer engagement dropped off. This data allowed the team to make targeted updates to listings, such as adjusting product descriptions or updating images, to improve page performance and support sales.
What we shipped
- Implemented a unified tracking framework to monitor the shopper purchase journey.
- Analyzed listing drop-off points to guide page updates.
- Tracked session counts and add-to-cart rates for individual SKUs.
Rewriting listings and metadata for search.
We optimized the brand's product listings and metadata across priority categories on Amazon and other marketplaces. We rewrote product titles, bullet points, and product descriptions to naturally integrate target keywords.
We focused on mapping products to search terms that reflected consumer concerns and ingredient preferences, such as "Ayurvedic face oil" or "natural cleanser." Additionally, we optimized backend search terms to improve indexing and ensure the brand's listings appeared in relevant search results.
What we shipped
- Rewrote listing content with target skincare and ingredient keywords.
- Optimized backend search terms to capture secondary search intent.
- Mapped product pages to high-volume skincare concern queries to attract relevant traffic.
Unifying reporting into one dashboard.
To address the brand's fragmented reporting, we designed and implemented a unified performance dashboard. This system integrated search, traffic, and sales data from multiple marketplaces into a single view.
The dashboard provided the marketing team with visibility into key metrics, including search impressions, CTR, and organic share of shelf for priority search terms. This unified view allowed the team to track search performance across the product catalog and adjust their SEO strategy as needed.
What we shipped
- Built a unified dashboard to centralize search and sales data from multiple platforms.
- Tracked click-through rates and impression volumes by product line.
- Monitored organic share of shelf for priority keywords to track visibility.
The Numbers
Outcomes we can talk about.
The marketplace optimization and tracking program helped improve the brand's visibility on e-commerce search engines. The primary success of the project was a 68% growth in search impressions across targeted marketplaces, showing that the listings were appearing in more search results.
In addition to increased visibility, the relevance of the updated listings helped drive customer engagement. The brand achieved a 3.2% increase in click-through rate (CTR) across its optimized product pages, indicating that searchers found the new titles and descriptions more relevant to their queries.
For this project, our tracking was focused on these two primary performance metrics, and additional quantitative data was not collected during this phase. The combination of improved impressions and higher CTRs helped the brand establish a stronger digital shelf presence, helping new customers discover its premium Ayurvedic skincare products.

What We Built
What's Next
Scaling visibility across retail channels.
Following the deployment of the unified dashboard and listing optimizations, the client plans to apply this SEO framework to new product launches. We will use the keyword-intent mapping and listing templates to optimize new product pages before they go live on marketplaces.
Additionally, the brand plans to connect the SKU-level performance data to its inventory management systems. This link will help the marketing team coordinate search campaigns with product availability, focusing SEO and marketing efforts on high-inventory products.
Frequently Asked Questions
About This Project
The questions teams usually ask when they want to run a similar engagement.
Digital share of shelf measures how visible a brand's products are on the first page of search results for a given query on e-commerce platforms. Increasing your share of shelf means your products occupy more search listings, making it more likely that shoppers will click on and buy your products instead of a competitor's.
