SEO for Skincare Brands

I’m here to de-mistify (see what I did there?) the world of skincare SEO, so you can reap the rewards for your business.

There are several elements to a successful SEO strategy, but when it comes to marketing to skincare consumers, you need to be a little more creative. High-value skincare consumers are always looking for the latest trend to hop on; they want to elevate their routines with high-grade ingredients; and most also want to reverse the signs of aging. So, how do you tap into this market with SEO? I’ll show you.

1. SEO Keywords for Skincare Brands: The Key to Securing Converting Customers

If you were searching for the products and services your brand sells, whether it be via ChatGPT or Google, what words would you use? Toner? Serum? IPL Machine?

Let’s go even more granular: how about hydrating serums? Blemish-clearing toner? Affordable IPL machine? Now we’re talking. As a skincare brand you want to make sure that your brand appears when your ideal customer are looking for your exact products and services.

My keyword strategy differs from most because it only targets key phrases that signal a customer is ready to convert. Resulting in increases of organic revenue of 200% year-on-year for previous clients.

2. Local SEO

If you’re a skin clinic, spa, or run your own retail stores, you’ll need to make sure your local SEO is on-point. Local search is how potential customers nearby find you—whether they’re Googling “best facial near me” or “skincare store in [city].”

Optimizing your local SEO means:

  • Claiming and optimizing your Google Business Profile with accurate business details, opening hours, service menus, and high-quality images.
  • Building local citations so your business info is consistent across directories, maps, and review sites.
  • Encouraging customer reviews, since positive feedback builds trust and helps you rank higher in local search.
  • Using local keywords in your site copy (think “organic skincare in Los Angeles” or “anti-aging facial New York”).
  • Creating locally relevant content, like blog posts about skincare tips for your city’s climate or seasonal skin concerns.

Done right, local SEO not only helps people find you but also drives foot traffic to your spa, clinic, or store—and turns nearby searchers into paying customers.

3. Off-page SEO

Here’s how you can utilize your in-house skincare experts for SEO benefit. Off-page SEO isn’t just about backlinks, it’s about building authority and trust across the web. As a skincare brand, your team of dermatologists, estheticians, or product specialists can be a huge asset in boosting your visibility, both in traditional and AI search.

Ways to leverage your experts for off-page SEO include:

  • Guest contributions: Have your experts write or contribute quotes to skincare blogs, beauty magazines, and health websites. This earns authoritative backlinks while positioning your brand as a trusted voice.
  • Digital PR opportunities: Journalists are always looking for expert commentary on trending skincare topics (think seasonal routines, ingredient breakdowns, or TikTok beauty hacks). Getting your experts featured builds both brand awareness and SEO value.
  • Collaborations and partnerships: Work with influencers, local clinics, or wellness businesses on co-created content that links back to your site.
  • Skincare studies and guides: Publish unique research or expert-led guides that other websites will naturally reference and link to.

By turning your in-house knowledge into shareable, high-quality content, you not only build backlinks but also strengthen your brand’s credibility in the skincare industry.
