YoY non-brand organic performance

The situation

Strong brand momentum, but organic was almost entirely branded — and AI search was an untapped opportunity

This fast-growth supplement challenger brand had already built strong demand through product quality, paid media, influencer activity, and brand awareness. Customers who knew the brand were finding them — but the organic channel was almost entirely dependent on people already searching for them by name.

Non-brand organic was minimal. The brand wasn’t showing up for the category, benefit, and ingredient searches that drive new customer acquisition. And as AI search surfaces like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity began to influence discovery journeys, there was a clear risk of being invisible in the spaces where future customers were looking.

The opportunity was to build a more sustainable Shopify organic strategy — one that captured broader search demand and positioned the brand for long-term AI search visibility alongside traditional Google rankings.

What we did

A joined-up roadmap connecting technical SEO, product optimisation, content, and AI visibility

The first step was creating a clear roadmap that connected technical SEO, product optimisation, content strategy, and AI visibility into one joined-up commercial growth plan — prioritised by impact and implementation effort.

1

Technical and product discovery foundations

Improved crawlability, indexation, internal linking, and structured product data so Google and AI systems could better discover, understand, and trust priority pages.

2

Collection page and commercial landing page optimisation

Mapped wider non-brand search demand into collection and landing page opportunities, then rebuilt collection architecture around how customers actually search.

3

Product page rebuild for purchase-stage search

Strengthened product pages with suitability signals, benefit framing, routine guidance, reassurance content, and FAQs designed to capture high-intent non-brand searches.

4

Schema and structured data expansion

Implemented product schema, FAQ schema, breadcrumb schema, and Merchant Center improvements to strengthen product discovery signals.

5

AI Overview and LLM visibility strategy

Structured content, entity signals, and topical associations to improve visibility across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.

6

Internal linking and authority building

Restructured internal linking to pass authority from the content hub into commercial collection and product pages, reinforcing topical relevance across the site.

“We had the brand and the products. What we didn’t have was a system for people to find us when they weren’t already looking for us by name. This engagement changed that — and now we’re showing up in ChatGPT and AI Overviews too, which feels like a completely different league.”
