Technical, content, and authority, fixed in that order. Built around the operating reality of DTC e-commerce brands, where blended cac sits at $25-$120.
DTC E-Commerce Brands run on numbers that punish generic playbooks. Meta and TikTok CPMs are up 20-40% YoY in most categories, while attribution remains compromised post-iOS. The agencies that win in this vertical do not run the same auction strategy they ran for a B2B SaaS account last quarter, they run a program built around how DTC e-commerce brands actually convert.
Inparlor's Traditional SEO engagement for DTC e-commerce brands reflects that. Traditional SEO is the unglamorous discipline of fixing crawl, on-page, and link signals so the pages you already have rank for what they should. The deliverables below are scoped against the unit economics, average order value of $45-$180.
Where most agencies treat DTC e-commerce brands as another vertical to learn on, we treat the vertical as the starting point. Subscription churn at 30-50% in supplements and consumables limits LTV unless retention is its own program. We will tell you on the first call which of those constraints is binding and which is solvable inside the engagement.

SEO engagement starts at
Crawl budget, indexation, schema, and Core Web Vitals, first. There is no point investing in content if the technical layer is leaking authority through misconfigured canonicals or bloated indexation.
Author bios, source citations, internal-linking instructions, query patterns to target. Writers know exactly what 'good' looks like, and editors have a measurable bar to enforce.
We run original research and journalist outreach. We do not run guest-post networks or PBNs. The link profile we build is the link profile a Google manual reviewer would approve.
Google Business Profile, citations, review acquisition, and local landing pages are part of the standard scope for service-area verticals. Local results compound differently than national.
