The BodySlims brand has been growing rapidly, raising inevitable questions common in the weight loss industry: “Is this really legit?”. We tackled these questions head-on with an innovative ‘SEOcial’ strategy across TikTok & Google to successfully build trust and further accelerate business growth.
As BodySlims' popularity grew, so did searches like 'BodySlims negative reviews' from potential customers doing their due diligence.
Despite TikTok's secretive content ranking process, we aimed to rank our content for relevant searches there, requiring extensive testing to decipher the algorithm. Additionally, we sought the best methods to promote our ‘SEOcial’ content across our paid channels to meet our growth KPIs.
Organic Strategy:
Our testing of the TikTok algorithm revealed that content quality, keyword usage, hashtags, and profile authority significantly influence ranking, with the FYP (for-you-page) picking up content that’s relevant to a user’s interests.
Our Social and Search teams devised a strategy to leverage SEO tactics, hacking the TikTok algorithm to produce trustworthy video content. By aligning our SEO blog calendar with our 'SEOcial' strategy, we maximised keyword coverage and created an integrated user journey, enhancing organic visibility.
Paid Strategy:
We promoted ‘SEOcial’ content across TikTok, Meta & Google Ads to drive bookings. Using machine learning campaigns fueled by BodySlims’ CRM data, we matched relevant content with high-propensity users who hadn’t even made a search yet… A data-driven Crystal Ball!
1. The ‘SEOcial’ production process
A content strategy like this requires streamlined video production. We adopted TikTok’s “make TikToks, not ads” slogan and kept content low-budget and authentic. Leveraging TikTok’s Trend tool we ensured content we made was hyper-relevant and aligned with current user interests.
Our content incorporated targeted keywords in the opening title and they were audibly mentioned in the video. This assisted TikTok’s algorithm to match our content with the keyword.
2. Machine Learning Integration
Building on search insights, we introduced our 'SEOcial' content to machine learning campaigns (e.g., Google Ads’ Performance Max, Meta’s Advantage+, TikTok’s Smart Campaigns)
We instructed these campaigns to use CRM data to ensure content reached the right audience, significantly reducing CPAs and boosting revenue.
This strategy underscores the growing significance of creative content in an AI-centric digital marketing landscape.
