01 · Challenge

A premium skincare brand in a brutal category.

Fether is a fast-growing Australian skincare brand competing in one of the most expensive paid-media categories on the internet. The goal was clear: scale online revenue without burning margin on customer acquisition.

They needed sharper organic visibility on non-branded skincare terms, paid campaigns that actually returned, and a future-proof eCommerce funnel built to retain customers — not just acquire them.

02 · Approach

Search-first SEO, precision paid, an eCommerce funnel tuned for AOV.

We ran SEO and paid as one programme — organic doing the compounding work, paid capturing the high-intent demand, both feeding the same funnel.

Underneath both, we ran conversion-focused UX upgrades and A/B testing on the site itself to reduce friction and lift average order value.

The growth playbook
4 workstreams

Search-first SEO execution

Deep keyword research, on-site fixes and targeted content strategies pushed 229 keywords onto page one inside three months — consistent, high-intent organic traffic in a competitive category.

High-impact paid campaigns

We rebuilt the ad funnel with precision targeting, creative refreshes and data-driven budget optimisations — delivering an 8X return on paid spend.

eCommerce excellence

Conversion-focused UX upgrades and A/B testing reduced friction across the buyer journey and lifted average order value through better merchandising and trust signals.

Unified digital strategy

SEO, paid and eCommerce innovation were run under one cohesive plan so every play compounded — not competed for budget.
