Culprit Underwear: 7.5x More Revenue and 100% Organic Traffic Lift for Culprit Underwear

Our client was a national DTC e-commerce retailer specializing in men’s and women’s underwear, loungewear, and bundle subscriptions. While the site offered a wide range of in-demand styles and served a growing customer base, it faced challenges with SEO visibility in a crowded apparel market, resulting in missed opportunities for organic traffic and sales, plus inconsistent rankings for high-value commercial keywords such as men’s underwear, women’s underwear, boxer briefs, and underwear bundles.

The Challenge

Our client’s site had faced stiff competition from established e-commerce giants such as Calvin Klein, Tommy John, and more. Likewise, most organic traffic was branded, which means the site was missing high-intent non-branded searches and revenue on commercial terms like boxer briefs, women’s underwear, underwear bundles and more. This is where our SEO strategy came into play, balancing branded vs. non-branded traffic. 

Our Rock Solid SEO Strategy

We implemented a comprehensive e-commerce SEO strategy that included a full-site SEO audit, collection, product page optimization, and the creation of high-intent, search-optimized blog content. This approach improved keyword visibility and organic traffic across key commercial and transactional pages. 

Here’s how we doubled organic traffic and 3X their sales:

  • Technical SEO Audit & Fixes
  • Performed Comparative & Competitive Analysis Audit (Market Share Analysis) 
  • Keyword Development & Intent Research 
  • Performed a Thorough SEO Content Audit & Relaunch Prioritization For Bottom Of The Funnel Content Types:
    • Product Collection Page (PLP)
    • Product Detailed Page (PDP)
  • Supporting blog post creation/optimization based on thorough topic gaps 
  • Authority Building with Quality Backlinks ( We focused more on the PR campaign) 

The Results
