Thousands of entrepreneurs search "how to start a beauty brand" every month. Blanka had the right product for all of them, but wasn't showing up. Their content was limited, their keyword footprint narrow, and AI search skipped them entirely.

Islands built and ran a full content engine across search, AI answer engines, and backlinking, trained on Blanka's brand voice and wired into their publishing stack. Every piece was researched against their ICP, scored through SEMrush before publishing, and structured to compound across channels.

“We now rank #1 on Google and show up in AI answers for cheaper than one junior marketer.”

COO, Blanka
