About

Who is Alo Yoga? What is on aloyoga.com?

Alo Yoga is a premium activewear and lifestyle brand built around a "studio-to-street" philosophy: yoga apparel that looks just as good outside the gym as in it.

Their website is not just a store. It blends photography with seamless shopping, integrates the Alo Moves fitness class library, and carries brand storytelling content across a blog and campaign pages. The whole experience is designed to keep users within the Alo ecosystem, not just to close a single transaction.

The Problem

Great brand, but losing in search — even for "yoga."

Great brand, but losing in search — even for "yoga."

Alo Yoga has the brand, the community, and the aesthetic. But when you look at the actual search data, a different picture comes up. Lululemon generates 3.5x Alo's organic traffic, not because they make better products, but because they show up in a lot more searches. Their keyword strategy covers running, tennis, golf, and general gym wear. Alo's is almost entirely yoga.

Goals

Fix what is broken and miss on the current site, and grow Alo Yoga from yoga to all types of workouts.

Alo does not need a better brand. They need to show up where people are already searching.

Lululemon did not win by outspending Alo on brand marketing. They won by expanding who they are for runners, golfers, men, and gym-goers, and aligning SEO, social, and paid spend behind that expanded identity over the years.
