Challenge
AI Overviews (AIOs) are reshaping search, cutting clicks to Brand websites and prioritizing concise, multimodal answers. As a category leader in Deodorant, Sweat, and Odor solutions, Degree needed to defend its dominance and maintain visibility—fast.
We future-proofed website optimization
by meticulously aligning relevant topics with user intent, and significantly expanded and diversified content through innovative formats like infographics, animated content, polls, and quizzes, while boosting publication frequency for multimodal engagement.
Simultaneously, we strengthened brand authority
and semantic optimization by accelerating structured data deployment, integrating Digital PR, and refreshing underperforming pages with problem-solving content, ensuring robust visibility across all AI-driven search opportunities (AIOs).
Results
In just 6 months, facing the growing challenge of AIOs, we moved up to 5th place for total organic non-branded SOV for the Deodorant category, up from 8th last quarter and ahead of Native and Old Spice!
A testament to the seamless collaboration between WPP Unite and Degree Brand teams.
