This is one of the case studies from the adult product sector, where Inquivix has used SEO services to create organic search traffic and growth. Among the various projects, Inquivix has undertaken this is one of the most challenging. It is a niche with generally very limited visibility and access. Even with such limitations, Inquivix was able to increase the organic traffic of the said business. This case study will help you understand how utilizing digital marketing strategies can drive your business forward.

The Background

The adult product industry, in most of the world, is not particularly known for its visibility due to various socio-cultural limitations despite the growing market. This is especially true in the South Korean market. This makes the adult product retailer’s job a lot harder because assessing the health of their company can be difficult. Most companies in this industry use a combination of intuition and gut feeling to make business decisions. So, when their conversions drop, they won’t be able to figure out why or how to fix it. However, using SEO and related digital marketing products Inquivix was able to improve this company’s organic traffic and conversion rate for several months.

The Opportunity

The adult products market in South Korea has been growing for the past few years. As more products become available, the opportunities to reach consumers are growing significantly. Adult products companies seek online advertising as it gives them access to customers who are not looking for adult products in traditional stores. This allows them to advertise and get exposure without walking into physical stores or malls where many people will still cast a judgmental eye.

Tapping the online space for this market is also more cost-effective for companies where the margins are typically lower. As of late, more of these products have been made available online to be purchased and delivered quickly directly to consumers’ homes. This has led to a drastic increase in users being introduced to adult product-oriented search words on search engines, which has also increased paid keyword advertising of products of the niche.

The Challenge

In South Korea, adult goods have become more accepted over time. With demand for adult novelties and items increasing, what was once considered “taboo” is now recognized to be a common feature of humanity’s existence. In response to this rising demand, a wide selection of products is now available through simple e-commerce platforms. Our client is a major online retailer of adult items in South Korea that competes for top spots on search engine results

pages for numerous keywords against strong competition.

The South Korean e-commerce retailer faced limitations in online advertising policies regarding the product line. This affected the website visibility leading to fewer opportunities at conversion. Despite these significant difficulties, we remained creative in our approach. We devised a plan to help them upgrade their website and rank for keywords in the search engine results pages (SERPs).

The Approach

It was at this point that the business began working with Inquivix’s SEO experts to reverse the trend, reclaim lost ground in organic search, and improve their rankings for a wide range of terms. The company’s online presence needed to be improved, including a robust ongoing content strategy and techniques to counteract on-site and off-site factors that were impeding current organic search results.

Inquivix’s team of experts devised a comprehensive strategy that included keyword research, website restructuring, competitor research, and creative advertising campaigns. Furthermore, SEO ranking strategies for on-site and off-site to boost the business were devised to make sure that the client performed well on SERPs. After the initial stage of planning, these strategies were executed timely ensuring that they generate organic traffic and conversions.
