The challenge
Critical SEO gaps blocking Google discovery.
LiveTinted ranked for branded terms but was invisible on Google for the educational searches where new customers actually start their journey.
Branded search dependency
Strong performance on "Live Tinted" branded terms but missing massive opportunity in educational beauty searches where customers discover new brands through ingredient research.
Competitive beauty market
Established players like Sephora, Ulta, and major beauty publications dominated informational queries ("best niacinamide serum," "dark spot corrector"), making direct competition nearly impossible.
Product discovery gap
Beauty customers research ingredients and solutions before brand discovery—LiveTinted wasn't present in those critical early research moments.
Limited educational authority
No topical authority in skincare education categories despite having products that solve these exact problems (hyperpigmentation, dark spots, skin tint).
The approach
An SEO playbook built for Google rankings.
RankAI mapped high-intent keyword clusters, published educational pages, and iterated until LiveTinted ranked on page 1 for queries that drive discovery.
- Phase 112 educational guides
