About The Brand
Who is Cocosutra?
Cocosutra is a premium Indian D2C food brand crafting health-forward pantry staples — artisan hot chocolate mixes, sugar-free drinking chocolate, gourmet cookies, granola, pancake mixes and curated gift hampers. Founded on the belief that great-tasting food and good nutrition go hand in hand, simple ingredients, minimum processing, maximum nutrition.
As seen in Times of India, NDTV Food and BuzzFeed, Cocosutra has built a loyal following around its core philosophy of “indulge in health” — bringing together an 8+ product line spanning hot chocolate mix, sugar-free chocolates, gourmet cookies, cookie dough, granola and gift hampers since its founding in 2017.
The Challenge
Why Cocosutra Needed SEO Help
Despite having a premium product range and a compelling brand story, Cocosutra was virtually invisible on Google. With organic impressions stuck at just ~1,500 per month and a domain authority of 11, the brand was missing out on thousands of potential customers actively searching for hot chocolate, sugar-free beverages, gourmet cookies and healthy snacks online.
Stagnant Impressions
Organic impressions stuck at ~1,500/month with no growth trajectory in sight.
Low Domain Authority
Authority score of just 11 — making it impossible to compete on high-volume keywords.
Content & Authority Gaps
No strategic blog content, poor internal linking, and missing high-value landing pages.
SEO optimization began: April 2024

The Results
Numbers That Tell the Story
The impact of AD360’s 3-pillar SEO strategy was measurable and significant — delivering compounding growth in traffic, keyword reach and domain authority across every tracked metric.
Monthly Traffic
Cocosutra’s monthly organic traffic surged from approximately 1,400 visits to over 9,500 visits — a 579% increase in just 9 months. This growth directly corresponds to more brand discovery, product page visits, and purchase opportunities from high-intent search users.
Keyword Rankings
Total keywords ranking grew from 217 to 531, a 145% increase. More importantly, Page 1 rankings jumped from 36 to 167 keywords — meaning Cocosutra now appears on the first page of Google for 4.6x more competitive search queries than before.
