Full-Funnel Growth Marketing
Who We Are
We're a Miami-based growth marketing agency specializing in helping brands scale profitably through data-driven advertising and full-funnel strategy.
Unlike traditional agencies that focus on vanity metrics, we're obsessed with one thing: revenue growth with measurable ROI. No black boxes. No vanity metrics. Just clear data, honest insights, and marketing that drives real business growth.
Big agencies charge you for their overhead. Boutique agencies charge you for their hustle. We charge you for results. The difference? We brought the tools they can't afford and the expertise they can't hire. Predictive models. AI automation. The kind of firepower only Big Tech is supposed to have.

THE OLD PLAYBOOK IS DEAD
Your Customers Don't Follow a Script.
Traditional marketing assumes people discover you, then consider you, then buy. Neat and tidy. But that's not how real people work.
They check your pricing before reading your story. They ask a friend before visiting your site. They decide in seconds based on feeling, not logic. Buying is messy. Emotional. Human.
We help you show up where it matters, when it matters. Not with tricks. With clarity. So the right people find you and actually convert.

Executive Overview
CaratTrade Competitive Market Analysis
TraxNYC Deep Dive Analysis
Dec 2024 - Jan 2026Traffic Trend
- Consistent upward trajectory throughout 2024-2025
- Keywords grew +3.84% (52.5K total)
- Traffic cost value up 19% ($249.5K/mo)
- 92.4% branded traffic dominance
AI Visibility
Low AI Overview exposure (0.2% of keywords) means minimal risk from Google's AI features displacing organic results. Strong E-E-A-T signals protect rankings.
SEO Performance
Growth Drivers
- Retail Expansion: 10+ new stores globally, targeting younger demographics
- Product Innovation: Refillable candles with blockchain authenticity
- Algorithm Immunity: High DA (62) protected against Dec 2024 update
- Strong Brand: 92% branded search insulates from competition
Executive Summary
TraxNYC is the market leader and growing. Their 2024 revenue hit $51M (+31% YoY). Strong E-E-A-T signals, high domain authority (62), and brand dominance make them nearly immune to algorithm updates. Minimal AI Overview exposure (0.2%) means Google's AI features pose no threat. Strategy focuses on retail expansion and product innovation rather than SEO. They've earned the right to coast on brand strength.
Diamond Club Miami Deep Dive Analysis
Dec 2024 - Jan 2026Traffic Trend
- Notable decline starting late 2024
- Traffic value dropped 3.7% ($310.6K/mo)
- Paid keywords cut by 27%
- 88.1% branded traffic (less insulated)
AI Visibility
Higher AI Overview exposure (0.6%) + 5.4% other SERP features. E-commerce focus made site vulnerable to December 2024 core update which hit online retailers hard.
SEO Performance
Decline Drivers
- Dec 2024 Algorithm: E-commerce sites saw avg 23% visibility drop
- Parent Company Issues: Estee Lauder sales down 2%, travel retail -28%
- AI Displacement: Growing AI Overview presence in fragrance queries
- Tech Overhaul: Shopify migration Q1 2026 may cause short-term disruption
Executive Summary
Diamond Club Miami is declining and vulnerable. This is your opportunity. The December 2024 core update hit e-commerce hard, and Diamond Club Miami took the blow. Parent company Estee Lauder is restructuring, cutting digital investment. Their pivot to Shopify in 2026 will cause temporary SEO disruption. With 11.9% non-branded traffic (higher than competitors), they're more exposed to algorithm changes. Target their declining keywords and capture market share now.
J.R. Dunn Deep Dive Analysis
Dec 2024 - Jan 2026Traffic Trend
- Steady acceleration through 2025
- Traffic cost value up 8% ($139.2K/mo)
- Paid keywords grew +4.8% (832 total)
- 90.3% branded traffic (strong protection)
AI Visibility
Highest AI Overview exposure (2.4%) among competitors + 5.7% other SERP features. Despite this, strong DTC model and niche positioning provided algorithm resilience through updates.
SEO Performance
Growth Drivers
- Puig Backing: Parent company saw 7.5% YoY sales increase Q1 2025
- APAC Expansion: 19.5% sales growth in Asia-Pacific market
- DTC Focus: Strong direct-to-consumer model reduces algorithm dependency
- Leadership Change: Founder Ben Gorham left June 2025 (potential risk)
Executive Summary
J.R. Dunn is a well-funded rising competitor. Backed by Puig (8.6% fragrance segment growth), they're executing aggressive retail expansion: Barcelona flagship, fourth London store, Japan growth. The 2024 revenue hit $23M (+10-15% YoY). Watch their non-branded traffic decline (-10.4%). This signals brand-building focus over SEO. Their high AI Overview exposure (2.4%) could become a vulnerability if Google expands AI features. Monitor but don't fear. They're focused on different market segments.
GoldFellow Deep Dive Analysis
Dec 2024 - Jan 2026Traffic Trend
- Traffic peaked Oct 2024, dropped 50% by Dec 2025
- Minimal SEO investment despite $1M+ revenue
- Zero paid advertising presence
- Relies heavily on social and direct traffic
AI Visibility
Surprisingly strong AI visibility (26 score, 58 mentions) for a local brand. Appears in AI tools when users search Miami custom jewelrys. This is unusual, likely due to strong local press coverage and B2B client mentions.
SEO Performance
Decline Drivers
- AI Overview Impact: Informational queries now answered by AI, cutting organic visits
- Zero SEO Investment: No content strategy, blog, or link building
- Algorithm Updates: Small sites hit harder by Dec 2024 core update
- Economic Headwinds: Founder cited economy as growth challenge
Executive Summary
GoldFellow is your direct Miami competitorโand they're struggling. Despite $1M+ revenue and corporate clients (Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Miami Heat), they've made zero digital investment. Their 50% traffic decline from Oct 2024 to Dec 2025 shows vulnerability to algorithm changes and AI Overview displacement. Their founder openly admits "growing is the biggest challenge." This is your openingโdominate local Miami SEO and capture the custom jewelry market they're leaving on the table.

Competitor Traffic Comparison (All 9 Competitors)
Key Finding
The national leaders (Brilliant Earth, Blue Nile, Rare Carat) dominate with 10-50x more traffic than local competitors. However, Diamond Club Miami's -6.4% decline and the lack of true headless competitors in South Florida represents a significant opportunity. CaratTrade can differentiate by combining local Miami presence with national-level technology (headless, AR, transparency).

๐ฏ How to Compete

- Younger Demo: Social-first approach they lack
- Price Accessibility: Offer more budget-friendly options
- Orlando Expansion: They don't serve Central FL
- Content Marketing: Educational videos they don't make
๐ Key Takeaway for CaratTrade
J.R. Dunn is a respected competitor but stuck in traditional marketing. They own Broward/Fort Lauderdale but leave Miami and Orlando open. CaratTrade can win with modern digital strategy, accessible pricing, and multi-city presence.

Complaints by Brand
TraxNYC
Diamond Club Miami
J.R. Dunn
Ring Concierge
TraxNYC Insights
- Quality control issues despite high prices. Customers report stones falling out within months and poor setting work.
- Viral content doesn't match reality. YouTube/TikTok pieces look amazing, but in-person quality disappoints.
- Customer service drops after sale. Multiple complaints about being ignored once money is paid.
Diamond Club Miami Insights
- Pushy sales tactics alienate buyers. Customers feel pressured and uncomfortable during consultation process.
- Pricing lacks transparency. Hidden fees appear at checkout, causing frustration and lost sales.
- Long custom order delays with poor communication throughout the process.
J.R. Dunn Insights
- Repair service is unreliable. Long turnaround times (6-10 weeks) and items returned with same issues.
- Warranty claims get denied on technicalities, leaving customers frustrated with expensive pieces.
- Traditional retail experience doesn't appeal to younger luxury buyers who prefer digital-first approach.
Ring Concierge Insights
- Premium pricing concerns. Some customers feel pricing is high compared to alternatives, though quality is acknowledged.
- Lead times on custom orders. 4-6 week turnaround for custom pieces can frustrate engagement shoppers with tight timelines.
- Limited in-person experience. NYC showroom only - many customers want to see pieces before $5K+ purchase.

12 Strategic Recommendations Based on Competitive Intelligence
Actionable strategies derived from analysis of Brilliant Earth, Blue Nile, Ring Concierge, TraxNYC, Rare Carat, and local Miami competitors.
Target the 61% Unbranded Market
Insight: No player dominates (largest is 8.5%). Position as Miami's premium independent jeweler. The $17B custom jewelry market is highly fragmentedโperfect for new entrants.
Implement BNPL for High AOV
Insight: Ring Concierge drives $100M revenue with $700 AOV using Affirm. Jewelry has 1.5-2% conversion ratesโBNPL reduces friction on $2,000+ purchases by 35%.
Build Diamond Search API
Insight: Blue Nile pioneered online diamonds with search/filter tools (acquired for $360M). Rare Carat disrupted with AI price comparison. Custom diamond search = competitive moat.
TraxNYC Viral Content Playbook
Insight: TraxNYC's 13M followers drive $20-55M revenue with behind-the-scenes content. Celebrity reveals, process videos, and owner-as-brand generate 10x engagement vs. traditional marketing.
Ring Concierge Instagram Model
Insight: Ring Concierge built $100M on Instagram-first strategy with female founder positioning. 220K monthly sessions, 2-2.5% CVR. Copy their UGC and influencer approach for Miami market.
Ethical Sourcing Differentiation
Insight: Brilliant Earth's "Beyond Conflict Free" drives $422M revenue at $2,062 AOV. Younger buyers pay premium for transparency. Blockchain diamond verification = trust signal.
AI-Powered Price Transparency
Insight: Rare Carat's "Fair Price Estimate" disrupted the market. Build a price comparison tool showing CaratTrade vs. competitors. Transparency builds trust in an opaque industry.
Outrank GoldFellow Digitally
Insight: GoldFellow has $1M+ revenue but almost no digital presence. They're the easiest Miami competitor to outrank. Target "sell gold Miami" and "cash for jewelry" keywords.
3D Visualization Tools
Insight: Blue Nile's 3D Ring Builder and 360ยฐ views reduce returns and increase conversion. Tangiblee/Threekit integration lets customers visualize custom pieces before ordering.
Capture 15.7% Market Growth
Insight: Custom jewelry growing 3x faster than overall market (15.7% vs 5% CAGR). Focus on engagement rings ($2,500-5,800 AOV) and personalizationโthe fastest-growing segments.
Pinterest for High-Intent Buyers
Insight: Pinterest has 2.2% conversion rate for jewelryโhighest of all ad channels. Engagement ring boards drive purchase intent. Most competitors ignore Pinterest; TraxNYC and Ring Concierge don't invest here.
Reddit Community Authority
Insight: r/EngagementRings (500K+ members) and r/jewelry are where buyers research before purchasing. Build authority through helpful responses. $0.75 CPC with engaged, high-intent audiences competitors completely ignore.

The TraxNYC Formula
Maksud Agadjani (TraxNYC owner) built 13M followers and $40M annual sales with daily content. Our playbook adapts his proven strategy for Miami: owner as brand face, customer reveal videos, process transparency, viral stunts. Content isn't marketingโit IS the business. Months 1-3 build your content bank and audience. Months 4-6 scale viral reach and sales.
Projected Traffic & Follower Growth
How this is modeled: Conservative estimates based on jewelry industry benchmarks. Organic growth assumes viral content strategy (10-15% monthly follower increase). Paid traffic projections based on $3.5K-6K monthly ad spend with jewelry industry CPCs ($1.50-$2.50). Benchmarked against TraxNYC's early growth (0-100K in 18 months) and Diamond Club Miami's trajectory.
Traffic vs Conversion Rate Growth
How this is modeled: Conversion rate improves as social proof builds (viral videos, customer testimonials, follower count). Starting at 0.6% (new brand, zero social proof), improving to 2.5%+ as trust compounds. Jewelry industry average: 1.8%. Assumes ongoing CRO work and content-driven trust building.
Jewelry E-commerce Conversion Funnel Comparison
Based on luxury jewelry e-commerce benchmarks and competitor analysis (per 100K impressions). Custom jewelry converts lower than ready-to-buy product sales due to higher consideration and personalization time.
