The Solution
Alskly mapped AI Search opportunities, researched buyer questions, tracked competitor recommendations, and identified opportunities to strengthen brand authority. The work combined structured data, expert content, citation development, review strategy, and ongoing performance tracking to connect the brand with relevant hair colour searches.
The Results
Josh Wood Colour achieved 10x growth in AI-driven sessions, bringing more visitors to its website through AI discovery. The result demonstrated how making professional expertise easier for AI platforms to surface helped expand the brand's digital reach.
The AI Search Opportunity
Turning Brand Authority Into AI Visibility
Founded in 2011, Josh Wood Colour Atelier built its reputation through professional colour expertise and salon experience. The brand expanded into home hair colour in 2018, offering permanent colour, root concealers, and colour preserving products supported by expert advice.
Traditional search visibility and industry recognition did not automatically mean AI platforms would reference the brand when answering customer questions. Alskly focused on connecting Josh Wood's established expertise with the questions people ask when researching hair colour products, techniques, and professional guidance.
