Trying to squeeze into a competitive market like the beauty industry – let alone trying to rise above larger, more established competitors – isn’t easy.

Established brands like Glossier, Charlotte Tilbury and Sephora already know a thing or two about search engine optimization (SEO), marketing in general, and the essentials of brand building.

So, understanding SEO is crucial to significantly increase your traffic and brand awareness.

In fact, 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine. That’s why SEO is vital to the success of your business.

Every day, people use Google to conduct over 3.5 billion searches. In the U.S., 78% of people use the web to research products and services before making a purchasing decision.

Getting to page one of the search results is vital. 75% of people will never scroll past the first page on a Google search!

And, the first three organic search results get 60% of all traffic. Therefore, staying on top of SEO takes a lot of time, research and experimentation. Google’s algorithms are constantly updated, so it’s important to stay tuned into the latest changes.

As your website begins to rank on the first pages of Google’s search results, you’ll get more visibility. Which means more traffic, more conversions, and eventually, increased revenue.

But you can’t sell to people who aren’t there, right?

So, let’s get started!

What is Beauty Business Journal?

Ideas. Frameworks. Community.

Today’s business owners, CEO’s, directors and commercial teams have only 1% of their week to dedicate to learning. They want knowledge from peers and experts, information from those at the forefront. They need to make every moment count.

The question: What are YOU doing with your 1%?

Inside Beauty Business Journal you’ll get access to industry knowledge and analysis delivered via weekly interactive emails, including data-led insights, deep-dives into key areas like technology, retail, marketing, strategy and media, plus a community of professionals just like you.

We’re building the beauty community of tomorrow, making it easier to learn, grow and connect with industry peers.

What People Say?

"Best investment in my sales and marketing budget for training and education. The combination of market insight and commentary alongside the strategic and tactical advice is fantastic. Instant ROI."

Joanna M.A.

Head of Brand & Communications

"If you work within commercial teams in the beauty industry and are looking for a small way to invest in yourself next year, I highly recommend Beauty Business Journal. No, it's not free. Yes, it's worth paying for. Better yet—expense it. Cheaper than a conference, A+ content year-round!"🚀

Roisin C.

Head of Digital Marketing

“Perfect for anyone looking to stay in tune with what's happening in the market. I’ve been to conferences in the $300-500 range that don’t deliver as much value as this $10 subscription."

Yosef K.

Global Commercial Director
