About Naturecan
Naturecan is a leading CBD brand in the UK. Founded by ex-CEO of MyProtein, Andy Duckworth, Naturecan quickly rose up the ranks taking highly converting positions in SERP.
When they approached NUOPTIMA, they were on page 1 for two highly valuable search terms, “CBD Gummies” and “10% CBD Oil”. The search intent indicates the user is ready to purchase and is currently choosing between brands and product options. Being present at this stage of the consumer funnel is incredibly lucrative and presents an opportunity to acquire a high LTV customer base. As you saw above, the keyword “CBD Gummies” is searched over 46,000 times every month and has a keyword difficulty of 88.
Once Naturecan saw how lucrative the keyword was, they decided to double down on SEO efforts by engaging NUOPTIMA to build high authority backlinks to increase their position and fend off competitors.

To rank the CBD gummies product page higher, we focused on anchor text keywords with “CBD Gummies”. You may notice some unrelated anchor keywords in the below screenshot. This is a consequence of competitors placing spam backlinks on the web. An expert SEO specialist should, at this point, begin disavowing links and indicating to Google that these are not reputable or relevant to your domain.

Compared to “CBD Gummies”, the “10% CBD Oil” keyword had lower competition and volume. Thus, with the quality of our backlinks, ranking it to position 1 on Google was relatively easy.
Ranking position 1 is incredibly powerful in Google, as it means you are able to command 39.6% CTR of all search volume.
Given that Naturecan now holds position 1, building backlinks prevents competitors from stealing the top spot. We’re able to be slightly more reactive, provided we track competitors and save Naturecan budget, which is better spent on CBD Gummies backlinks.
