Grace & Lace – Shark Tank-backed Fashion Brand

Identifying Key SEO Challenges for a Shark Tank Brand​

Even with their exposure from Shark Tank, Grace & Lace faced several SEO issues that limited their long-term growth:

  • Overdependence on brand name searches (e.g., “Grace and Lace Shark Tank”)
  • Zero visibility for non-branded keywords (e.g., “lace tunic,” “fall women’s fashion”)
  • Low organic traffic outside of their existing audience
  • No SEO system for optimizing collections, products, or blog content
  • Underutilized site authority with few backlinks to money pages

Their biggest challenge? Converting fame into long-term organic search growth—something that required a strategic, technical, and content-driven SEO plan.

How Strategic SEO Helped Grace & Lace Grow Beyond Shark Tank Fame

With a clear roadmap, we focused on three pillars: technical optimization, keyword targeting, and authority building. Our phased strategy delivered scalable results across the board.

Strategy 1 – Technical SEO Fixes

Technical SEO should be the first step in any SEO process. The website needs to be found by Google, trusted by Google and have all main pages active.

We started by attacking these following areas:

  • Many of the current pages were not being indexed or found on Google so we indexed them
  • We increased the page speed, by improving load time, LCP and FCP in Google Page Speed Insights, improving conversion rate.5%.
  • We fixed many broken links and redirects pages that were archived and going nowhere
  • Fixed broken backlinks
  • Added schema markup to their product pages
  • Added breadcrumbs to the website

Strategy 2 – Targeted Low Hanging Fruit Keywords

There were plenty of options to target collections and products with keywords that could increase traffic. We spent two months building out a plan to target and revamp their whole site so they could actually show up on Google…and it worked perfectly (like it always does).

First you optimize the keywords for the main collection pages as that is where Google will most likely show the best opportunities for low hanging fruit traffic.

After looking at their own keywords, we went to SemRush to see what their top three competitors were doing and stole some of their keywords and traffic. With that, we had enough to start taking traffic in the SERPs.
You repeat the process until all collections are optimized, blogs are written to bolster the keywords in collections and you have stolen competitor traffic.

Step #3: Built High Authority Backlinks

Backlinks are the key to any SEO growth. While this coming had some because of being on Shark Tank, there blogs and collections pages had no links. We were able to build links that drove not only authority, but additional traffic to the website boosting their rankings on Google.

Links from US Magazine and CNBC are just a few.

This can be done a few ways. We used HARO, Source Bottle and others to do manaul outreach and build links that would drive substantial traffic within their niche.

We also do blogger outreach to land other links in the women’s fashion space. You can use SemRush to find all links that go to competitors and then begin outreach to acquire links from them as well.

The Results: Shark Tank Brand, SEO-Driven Growth

Using our strategy, we’ve more than quadrupled their traffic in the first nine months and their revenue has only continued to climb – highlighting that our process is the easiest it’s ever been our ecommerce clients. 

With our process, conversion rates climb from sub 4% to almost 5%.

We took monthly revenue from $70,000 per month in Google to over $85,000 a month.

We took their keywords from 3,500 to over 15,000 in nine months together allowing them to show up more in Google.
