Cosmetics SEO is how a beauty brand gets found while shoppers research a concern, an ingredient or a shade: "niacinamide and vitamin C together", "fragrance-free moisturizer for sensitive skin", "foundation for olive undertones". More of them now ask ChatGPT or Gemini which product to buy, and the answer often points to a retailer, a review site or a cheaper dupe rather than to the brand that made the formula. Sorank writes the guides that answer these questions on your own site, follows the claim wording your regulatory team sets, and tracks every month which brands the AI assistants recommend.
It publishes to Shopify, WooCommerce, Webflow, Wix and WordPress, from $49 a month per site.

"Can I use retinol with azelaic acid", "best sunscreen under makeup for oily skin", "is squalane comedogenic": these shoppers have a concern and no brand yet, and a retailer's category page or a creator's review usually answers first. Sorank groups such questions by concern and by ingredient, with their intent, difficulty and monthly volume, so you choose the ones your formulas can answer and turn them into articles in one click.
The plan comes from keyword research on your ranges and on the brands you compete with.
"Best lip oil for winter", "tinted serum shade range", "sunscreen for sensitive skin at the beach": beauty demand follows the calendar and your launches. Add a keyword to a publishing date with an instruction such as "mention the new shade range", and Sorank writes the article ahead of the release, with internal links to the product and collection pages you choose.
Plan it in the content planner.


"Best vitamin C serum for sensitive skin", "affordable alternative to [cult moisturizer]": an AI answer names three to five products, and often a cheaper lookalike. Sorank asks your prompts every month in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, plus Grok on the Pro plan, and shows your visibility rate, your rank among the brands cited and how both move over one, three, six or twelve months.
Follow your position in the GEO leaderboard.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Webflow, Wix or WordPress connect directly; a headless storefront receives articles through a webhook. Sorank imports Search Console to see which concerns, ingredients and product names already bring visits.
List your product lines, hero ingredients and the retailers that stock you, then write your claim rules into the default instructions, for example "visibly reduces the look of" rather than "repairs", and no "clinically proven" without a study on file. Sorank proposes the shopper questions of each range.
Articles wait as drafts until your regulatory or product lead signs off, then go live on your schedule. Each month you see their Google clicks and whether the AI assistants cite your brand.
THEY TRIED SORANK BEFORE YOU

Cosmetics SEO, or SEO for beauty brands, is the work that brings a skincare, makeup or haircare brand into Google results and AI answers when people research a concern, an ingredient, a routine or a shade. Its particular difficulty is that the brand is rarely alone with its own product: the same serum is sold by beauty retailers and marketplaces, reviewed by creators and copied by dupes, and each of them competes for the searches your formula created.
Your advantage is what only the maker knows: why an ingredient is at that concentration, which skin types the texture suits, how the shades were built. Content that shares that knowledge is what retailers cannot copy. Stores with a broad catalog face other questions, covered on our ecommerce page.
Cosmetic claims only, and your blog counts as much as your label. The US Food and Drug Administration explains in Is It a Cosmetic, a Drug, or Both? that a product's intended use is established by claims on its labeling, in advertising and on the Internet, and that claims to treat or prevent disease or to affect the structure or functions of the body make it a drug; its examples include products that will restore hair growth or reduce cellulite.
In the European Union, Regulation (EU) No 655/2013 applies to claims made in texts, names, trademarks and pictures, and sets six common criteria: legal compliance, truthfulness, evidential support, honesty, fairness and informed decision-making. Sorank gives no regulatory advice. Write your approved wording into the default instructions, keep drafts mode on, and let your regulatory lead or safety assessor read each article before it is published.
They start from their skin, not from a brand: a concern, a skin type, an ingredient they heard about, a shade they cannot match. Then they check reviews, swatches and the full ingredient list before they buy, often on a retailer's page.
AI answers draw on a scattered set of sources, and each model has its own favorite. In our beauty AI citation study (2700 answers, June to August 2026), Gemini's leading source is Trustpilot at 3.22%, ChatGPT's is Wikipedia at 1.67% and Perplexity's is YouTube at 2.11%, and YouTube fell from 2.67% of answers in June to 0.33% in August. A ranking that moves this fast rewards brands described the same way everywhere: the same ingredient list, the same claims and the same product names on your site, at your retailers and in your reviews. Our guide to ChatGPT Shopping explains how products enter those answers.

Searches close to a purchase deserve priority, as our guide to buying intent keywords explains.
As one product with many variants that Google can read. Its documentation on product variants describes the ProductGroup markup, with properties such as variesBy for color or size. When all shades share one page, there must be one canonical URL for the group, and each shade must be selectable directly through its own URL with query parameters, showing the right image, price and availability.
Shade names, swatch photos and their alt text live in your store theme (see our guides to product pages and image SEO). Sorank's shade guides then link to the product and collection pages you choose.
A direct answer, then what a careful shopper checks: which skin types it suits, how to introduce the ingredient, what not to combine it with, when to stop and see a dermatologist, and the sources behind each statement. Name the person who reviewed the article and date it; in a field full of opinions, these signs of expertise are what E-E-A-T refers to. Avoid before-and-after promises and percentages you cannot document, and link each product mentioned to its page with the full ingredient list.
Sorank handles the keyword research by concern and ingredient, the writing and publication of the guides with sources, images and internal links, publication on Shopify, WooCommerce, Webflow, Wix or WordPress, backlinks from other sites of Sorank clients, the monthly AI tracking and one dashboard for Search Console, Analytics and AI visits.
Your team keeps product pages and labels, ingredient lists, safety assessments and claim substantiation, retailer and marketplace listings, reviews, creator partnerships and product photography. Brands with neighboring rules have their own pages: supplements brands, fashion brands and, on the medical side, dermatologists.
Sorank is billed per store. Essential is $49 a month on a yearly plan or $99 monthly, with 20 articles a month and 10 prompts tracked in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Pro ($129 yearly, $249 monthly) brings 60 articles and adds Grok, a better fit for a brand with several ranges; Business ($249 yearly, $499 monthly) brings 120 articles. Every plan starts with a 3-day free trial and carries the 90-day results-or-refund guarantee (see pricing).
Google gives no fixed delay. Questions about your own products and ingredients often gather impressions first; broad concerns such as "best moisturizer" take longer, because retailers and publishers hold them. Publish seasonal and launch guides several weeks ahead, and judge each range after three months on its Search Console impressions and its AI mentions.
