The Challenge

What Lux Unfiltered was up against.

Lux Unfiltered was scaling fast on paid and influencer while the organic and AI layer sat broken underneath. The site needed a full revamp: product pages built wrong, missing alt tags, no FAQ coverage, and pages targeting terms their buyers were not actually searching.

Beauty is an editorial category. Engines answer questions about tanning drops out of publications, roundups and review surfaces, not out of brand sites. Winning it means being in the places that get quoted, which is a different job from ranking.

The Approach

How we attacked it.

Thirteen months and counting. A full site revamp first, then a sustained push on topical authority and on the third-party surfaces that beauty answers are actually built from.

  • Full site revamp: product page structure, image alt tags, and FAQ coverage on every page
  • Correct H1 and target term set per product, replacing terms buyers were not searching
  • Sustained blog programme to build topical authority across the category
  • Off-page citation building and a review strategy across the surfaces engines read
  • Listicle placement work, so the brand appears in the roundups that answers get assembled from
  • A Stacker feature, "The Love Island glow is officially the beauty trend of the summer", syndicated out to news outlets nationwide and pointing back at the hero product

Measured in Lux Unfiltered's Search Console with brand terms excluded, comparing April to July 2025 against April to August 2026. Average position across non-branded queries moved from 25.8 to 9.7, and the brand now sits at 3.2 for "non toxic self tanner". Non-branded impressions fell over the same period, so this is a change in position rather than in volume.
