Passionbugs is a UK-based online adult e-commerce store specialising in sex toys and lingerie.
Partnering with Adult Creative – the industry leaders in web development, adult SEO, and digital marketing – they embarked on a transformative journey to enhance their online visibility and generate organic traffic.
This case study delves into the collaboration’s strategies, challenges, and remarkable results achieved over the course of the campaign.
Client Overview:
In late February 2023, Passionbugs approached Adult Creative seeking crucial SEO guidance. With no significant presence in search engine result pages (SERPs) and limited organic traffic, Passionbugs were keen to harness the power of SEO to increase its online reach and attract a larger audience.
However, this venture into the realm of SEO wasn’t their first. Passionbugs had traversed this terrain before, encountering disillusionment and setbacks with previous well-known SEO partnerships. As a result, Passionbugs were sceptical when approaching Adult Creative.
In the face of these challenges, Adult Creative aimed to reshape these perceptions, light the path to success, and rewrite the narrative of Passionbugs’ engagement with SEO.
Initial Assessment:
Recognizing the importance of a tailored approach, Adult Creative engaged in a comprehensive consultation with Passionbugs. The strategic plan was devised considering the client’s active involvement and skill set in content creation, paving the way for a collaborative effort that maximized outcomes.
The campaign was strategically divided into hands-on SEO tasks and consultation, capitalising on the client’s proactive approach to improving their website. This collaboration fostered a harmonious environment where Adult Creative provided strategic guidance, while the client executed and oversaw specific content writing tasks.
Campaign Objectives:
The campaign was structured into three distinct phases, each with specific objectives aimed at boosting Passionbugs’ online presence:
Phase 1:
- Attain top 10 page rankings for target keywords

Phase 2:
- Elevate Passionbugs’ website to page 1 of Google
- Consolidate and maintain the surge in organic traffic
Phase 3:

The comprehensive plan was initiated with the understanding that Phase 1 would span four months, and with these goals in mind, we got straight to work.
