Case Study: A Swiss Industrial Brand Builds a Scalable Keyword Intelligence System
A Swiss industrial brand faced inconsistent keyword performance and inefficient PPC spending in China. Keyword research was fragmented and lacked structure.
We built a centralized keyword intelligence system integrating SERP mining, social listening, and AI-driven clustering. Keywords were continuously optimized based on PPC validation and SEO performance data.
Within ten months, the brand achieved a 52% improvement in search efficiency and significantly reduced wasted PPC spend, demonstrating the value of scalable keyword intelligence systems.
