Results
+140% increase in SEO traffic
Semji prioritizes content based on two main criteria: the potential traffic to be gained and the editorial effort required. After detecting and updating the “champion” content, Decathlon saw its SEO traffic curve rise. With an increase of +140%, the first 71 contents optimized with the platform allow to capture more than 110 000 monthly SEO visitors.
90% of new content captures SEO traffic
Once the optimization of existing content is done, the second sprint can start. Thanks to Semji, Decathlon discovers new content to create and new queries to target. In the end, 90% of the new content created and optimized with Semji captured SEO traffic (compared to 48% according to the initial audit). .
Content in 1st position
With Semji, every optimized content helps to gain new SEO market share. Let’s take the example of the article “How to start running again?” If it was not positioned in April 2020, it managed to reach the 1st position on the keyword ‘resume running’ after an optimization with Semji!
