THE CHALLENGE

Despite offering premium, personalised styling services, The Lifestyle Editor faced challenges in achieving strong organic visibility. The website was not ranking consistently for high-intent keywords related to personal styling, colour analysis, and wardrobe edits, limiting its ability to attract the right audience organically. A detailed analysis uncovered several gaps affecting performance

Upon conducting a deep audit, we discovered the core issue:

  • Limited visibility for high-intent personal styling and colour analysis keywords
  • Strong competition from established styling and consultancy brands
  • Inconsistent on-page optimisation across service pages
  • Under-optimised content for location-based searches
  • Technical SEO gaps impacting crawlability and performance
  • Lack of authoritative backlinks and brand mentions
  • Minimal content addressing specific body shape and styling intent
  • Low discovery potential due to incomplete local and trust signals

THE SOLUTION

To overcome these challenges, we implemented a holistic SEO and content optimisation strategy tailored to a boutique personal styling brand. The approach focused on enhancing technical performance, strengthening service-based content, and improving topical authority for styling-related searches.

Key actions included:

  • Enhancing website performance to improve page loading speed and overall user experience
  • Creating a structured, high-quality link-building roadmap focused on lifestyle, fashion, and styling niches
  • Fixing broken links and removing low-quality or harmful backlinks impacting authority
  • Building authoritative, niche-relevant backlinks consistently to strengthen domain trust
  • Optimising on-page elements, including meta tags, headings, and content, to strengthen keyword targeting for personal styling services
  • Conducting ongoing technical SEO audits to ensure smooth crawling, indexing, and search engine accessibility
