Client Snapshot

MCaffeine (mcaffeine.com) is India's first caffeine-infused personal care brand, revolutionizing the beauty industry with innovative coffee-based skincare, body care, and hair care products. Valued at $130M, they've captured the millennial and Gen Z market with their unique positioning of "caffeine for your skin."

The Challenge: Breaking Through in a Saturated Beauty Market

When MCaffeine partnered with Passionfruit in October 2024, they faced a complex set of challenges that demanded sophisticated solutions:

1. Customer Service Query Dominance The brand's second-highest traffic driver was "mcaffeine customer care number", indicating a significant portion of organic traffic was seeking support rather than making purchases. This represented a massive missed opportunity for commercial conversion.

2. Brand Name Confusion Multiple spelling variations ("mcaffeine," "mcaffine," "m caffeine," "mcaffiene") were fragmenting brand searches, with over 90,000+ clicks spread across misspellings—diluting brand authority and creating inconsistent user experiences.

3. Category Authority Gap Despite being a caffeine beauty pioneer, generic searches like "caffeine products" (3,636 clicks) and "caffeine body wash" (522 clicks) showed weak positioning compared to the brand's market leadership status.

4. Seasonal Vulnerability The brand experienced significant fluctuations—dropping from 84,579 to 81,833 branded clicks (−3.2%) while competitors capitalized on seasonal beauty trends, particularly during summer skincare searches.

5. Revenue Attribution Complexity With simultaneous sales across their D2C site, Nykaa, Amazon, and offline channels, tracking true organic contribution to revenue became increasingly challenging, impacting strategic decision-making.
