SEO with Purpose: How We Helped Alora Cosméticos Reach Cancer Patients
October is a month of awareness. We wear pink to remind every woman how much prevention and the early detection of breast cancer truly matter. It is a season of unity and support, when every gesture counts. At Próximo Passo, we believe the best way to act is to use what we do best to create a positive impact. So today we want to share how our SEO work helped connect a brand with an incredible mission to the women who needed its support.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month (known in Brazil as Pink October) reminds us that the fight against breast cancer is waged on many fronts. Beyond the battle for physical health, there is the journey of protecting well-being and self-esteem. In that setting, access to information and to products that offer comfort and care is essential. Yet in a noisy digital landscape, finding those solutions can be hard. This is where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) goes beyond technique and becomes a tool for the public good.
This article tells the story of our partnership with Alora Cosméticos. It is a real example of how SEO, when applied with strategy and empathy, can amplify a message of care. More than that, it can make sure the right solution reaches the people who need it most, at their most delicate moment. For us, a good strategy is one that builds connections of real value.
Why Well-Being Matters, and the Role of SEO in Awareness
First, the Breast Cancer Awareness Month movement is vital to public health. As Brazil’s National Cancer Institute (INCA) points out, awareness of the warning signs and the importance of mammograms are the best weapons for an early diagnosis, which dramatically improves the chances of a cure. Even so, a patient’s journey reaches far beyond diagnosis and medical treatment.
Emotional and psychological well-being during treatment is a pillar of recovery. As research on the importance of self-esteem for cancer patients shows, caring for one’s appearance and practicing self-care can have an enormous positive impact, helping a woman feel stronger and more confident. These women, then, actively search online for solutions that can help them. This is the exact point where a thoughtful strategy becomes a tool of support.

Alora Cosméticos and SEO: A Partnership to Deliver Care
Meeting that need is exactly why Alora Cosméticos exists. The brand carries a noble mission: to develop safe, specialized cosmetics for oncology patients, helping to relieve the skin side effects caused by treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The work we did together focused on connecting that solution to the people who needed it.
1. The Challenge: A Vital Mission, Limited Visibility
When Alora came to us, it had an essential product, but its organic visibility was low. That meant women searching for “skin cream for chemotherapy-sensitive skin” simply could not find it.
As a result, the company leaned on expensive ads, which capped its growth and, in turn, the number of people it could reach. Our work began with the challenge of changing that picture.
2. The Strategy: Mapping the Patient’s Journey
Next, our team mapped the patient’s journey. Rather than chasing generic terms, we dug into the questions and fears these women carried. We researched the precise queries they typed into Google, like “what is the best moisturizer for radiation therapy?”. From there, we built content that answered those questions clearly, accurately, and, above all, with empathy.
Our work always centers on people. Próximo Passo specializes in building strategies that connect brands to their customers. See how our approach can help your company grow with purpose.
3. The Result: Bringing Care to the People Who Need It
The results were transformative. Within a few months, Alora climbed to the top of Google for its most important searches. As a result, the company was able to cut its ad spend to zero, turning the operation into a profitable and sustainable one.
The most important outcome, though, was the human one: more women, in a moment of vulnerability, could now easily find a product designed for their care and well-being. In this way, strong SEO became a channel of support.
Today, anyone looking for comfort and care during cancer treatment can easily reach the Alora Cosméticos store. There they find solutions developed with empathy, like the Vita Derma and Vita Derma Plus moisturizers, and even products made to ease delicate conditions such as mucositis, with Oral Plus.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is SEO and what is it for?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a set of optimization strategies for websites, blogs, and web pages. Its main goal is to improve a site’s ranking in the organic (unpaid) results of search engines like Google. As a result, it increases visibility and attracts more qualified traffic.
Why is SEO important for a business?
SEO matters because it puts your business in front of customers who are actively looking for your products or services. Unlike ads, it builds a long-term asset, generates qualified traffic consistently, strengthens brand authority, and generally delivers the highest return on investment (ROI).
How long does SEO take to show results?
SEO is a medium to long-term strategy. While technical improvements can produce quick wins, the most significant effects, such as ranking for competitive keywords, usually appear within 4 to 12 months. Consistency and quality of work are, without a doubt, the most important factors in speeding up results.
