The brief

SoulSalt is a US-based wellness and personal development brand. They had a strong community and a clear point of view, but online, none of that came through. Their site had minimal organic presence and no coherent editorial strategy, leaving them virtually invisible in a crowded, content-heavy market.

They needed a complete content overhaul. Their site had minimal organic presence and no coherent editorial strategy. The goal was to build a scalable content system that could drive sustained organic growth—not a one-time spike.

My role

As content specialist, I led the strategy and execution end-to-end — from auditing existing content to managing the writer network to editing every piece that went out.

  • Defined content pillars and editorial calendar from scratch

  • Set quality and voice standards for the writer network

  • Prioritised content by traffic potential and topical authority

  • Oversaw internal linking structure to maximise SEO impact

The outcome

Monthly organic visits grew from 665 to 147,700 — a 220x increase — peaking at 165k in early 2022 before stabilising at a sustained 100k+.

Referring domains grew from ~75 to nearly 700 over the same period, reflecting compounding domain authority rather than a one-time traffic spike.

The client didn't just get more traffic. They got a content engine that kept working.
