1. Background & Challenges

PureGlow Skincare is a natural skincare brand offering organic and cruelty-free products. While their products were highly rated and well-reviewed, their online growth was limited due to low visibility in search results.

Challenges included:

  • Low domain authority: DR ~20, limiting the ability to rank for competitive skincare keywords.
  • Underperforming product pages: Categories like “vegan face serums” and “natural cleansers” were not ranking on page 1.
  • Content not leveraged: Blog posts like “5 Skincare Routines for Sensitive Skin” had potential but lacked backlinks.
  • High dependency on paid ads: 60% of revenue came from Instagram and Google Ads campaigns.

Goals:

  • Build high-quality backlinks to improve authority
  • Increase visibility for competitive and long-tail skincare keywords
  • Generate more organic leads while reducing ad spend dependency

2. Strategy & Approach

Linkible implemented a multi-channel link building strategy tailored to PureGlow’s niche and audience.

a) Content & Keyword Analysis

  • Mapped transactional keywords (e.g., “buy vegan face serum,” “organic moisturizer online”) and informational keywords (e.g., “skincare tips for sensitive skin”).
  • Developed content clusters connecting blog posts with product pages to improve internal linking.

b) Guest Posting & Niche Outreach

  • Targeted beauty, wellness, and lifestyle blogs for guest contributions.
  • Published thought-leadership content like “Why Organic Skincare is the Future of Beauty”, linking back to product pages.

c) Digital PR & Media Mentions

  • Secured mentions in local lifestyle magazines, wellness blogs, and niche beauty publications.

d) Niche Edits & Link Partnerships

  • Inserted contextual links into existing high-authority articles such as “Top 10 Vegan Skincare Brands to Try”.
  • Ensured all backlinks were relevant, do-follow, and authority-driven.
