Sun Bum: Shining out from the competition
A cause for content
Sun Bum develops a range of high-quality sun care products that are friendly to people, animals, and the planet. As a growing personal care brand in a competitive space, they looked to us to help identify new content opportunities to keep them distinct and relevant among the masses.

The challenge
While Sun Bum had a lot of great information to share about their products, ingredients, and certifications, they needed clearer insight into how their content stacked up against competitors—and where the white space was to lead the conversation.
Our Approach
Pulling data from Sun Bum and their top competitors, we performed a Content Gap Analysis (CGA) to identify the keyword ranking opportunities based on topical, popular searches. We were then able to provide actionable recommendations on where we could create new content, as well as update existing content for improved visibility.
The Solution
-
Downloading keyword rankings from the BrightEdge platform.
-
Removing all brand terms, as well as terms not relevant to Sun Bum.
-
Evaluating Sun Bum and competitor data side-by-side for each keyword.
The Results
The CGA uncovered a key opportunity for Sun Bum to better tout its product certifications, such as being vegan, cruelty-free, reef-safe, etc. With this information, Red Door started targeting “cruelty-free” terms within page titles, and Sun Bum promoted their certifications more on their social channels. By improving our rankings for these keywords, we acquired an organic backlink from Bustle about vegan and cruelty-free sunscreen, which in turn resulted in a 211% increase in overall keyword rankings and 67% increase in page-1 keyword rankings.
