Huskee

Overview

Huskee is a brand dedicated to sustainability, offering a range of eco-friendly products designed to replace single-use items, particularly in the coffee industry. Their most popular product, the HuskeeCup, is made from coffee husk, a by-product of coffee production, and is designed for reuse in cafes, homes, and takeaway settings. In addition to the HuskeeSwap program, which encourages cafes to exchange used cups for new ones, Huskee also runs the HuskeeLoop initiative, where old cups are repurposed into new products.

Despite having a strong product offering and clear commitment to sustainability, Huskee struggled with online visibility. They faced challenges ranking for competitive keywords in the sustainable product market and sought to increase their organic reach to attract more customers.

The Challenge

Huskee approached SEO Growth with the goal of improving their online presence and increasing organic traffic. Their challenges included:

• Low search engine visibility for key terms like “reusable coffee cups,” “Huskee cup,” and “coffee husk cup,” which made it difficult to compete against both established and emerging brands in the eco-friendly product sector.
• Limited organic traffic, which meant the business was overly reliant on paid advertising and direct traffic..

The Solution

To help Huskee address these challenges, we implemented a focused SEO strategy aimed at improving visibility, increasing traffic, and driving conversions.

Key actions included:

• In-depth Keyword Research: We carried out thorough research to identify high-value keywords in the sustainable products sector and target long-tail keywords that would capture relevant traffic. This was essential for building a strong SEO foundation for Huskee’s core product range.
• Content Optimisation: We optimised existing product pages and created new, SEO-friendly content that aligned with the identified keywords. We also expanded the blog section to include educational content around the environmental impact of disposable coffee cups, which resonated with Huskee’s target audience.
• On-Page SEO: We ensured that meta titles, descriptions, and headings were tailored to the target keywords while making the content more engaging for users. This optimisation extended across Huskee’s product listings and category pages to improve user experience and visibility.
• Technical SEO: We addressed technical issues that were hindering the site’s performance. This included improving page load speed, enhancing mobile-friendliness, and resolving broken links to ensure search engines could crawl and index the site effectively.
• Link Building: We worked on acquiring high-quality backlinks from authoritative sources within the sustainability and eco-friendly product industries to improve Huskee’s domain authority and rankings.
