THE CHALLENGE

Secrets of the Tribe had the products (547+ SKUs), the reviews (4.9 stars from 2,700+ customers), and the rankings (3,600+ keywords). What they didn’t have was an ecommerce experience that matched. Their basic Shopify template couldn’t support product discovery for a 300+ item catalog, and competitors like Gaia Herbs ($50M+ revenue) were pulling ahead on brand perception. In a wellness category where trust is visual, their site was costing them conversions.

What we did

  • Competitive Analysis: 31-page strategic comparison against Gaia Herbs covering UX, pricing, product architecture, and market positioning
  • SEO Research: Keyword opportunity mapping and content gap analysis
  • UX/UI Design: Complete homepage redesign, collection page templates, product page optimization, and mobile-first layouts
  • CRO Architecture: Trust signal placement, conversion pathway design, and call-to-action strategy
  • Development Specs: Detailed requirements for ESEO Space to build custom Shopify functionality

What ESEO SPACE BUILT

  • Product-Matching Quiz: Guided discovery for users unsure where to start
  • Real-Time Search: Instant results as users type
  • Advanced Filtering System: Multi-attribute filtering that actually works for 300+ products

The Results

Notable Position 1 Rankings:

  • “pine pollen tincture” (590/mo search volume)
  • “lambs ear wreath” (720/mo)
  • “is kelp the same as seaweed” (390/mo)
  • “mullein oil for ears” (170/mo)
