Efficient content optimization for DEPOT with AI support

Challenge accepted

CHALLENGE: PUSH SEASONAL PRODUCT CATEGORIES IN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME

In October 2024, 50 product categories for DEPOT had to be fully optimised according to our SEO standards within a very short time frame. Many of the identified pages related to seasonal product categories such as autumn and Christmas decorations, which only generate high search volumes for limited periods of time. In order to fully exploit the potential, it was essential to generate the content as quickly as possible while maintaining our usual high quality standards.

Thanks to precise content measures and innovative AI technology, we were able to achieve this goal in a very short time.

As part of our Content AI Study, we have already identified the potential of AI text generation. The collaboration between DEPOT and eology has now confirmed the practical benefits of website text creation with AI support. A tailor-made Custom GPT not only speeds up text creation, but also delivers high-quality results thanks to human guidance and control.

OUR MEASURES:

AI support for content creation

In close consultation with DEPOT, we decided to use AI support for content creation – more specifically, a custom GPT (ChatGPT-4o). This was tailored precisely to DEPOT’s target groups and included the following project instructions:

  • Tone of voice: Friendly, inspiring and motivating, in keeping with the DEPOT brand.
  • Type of address: Emotional and creative to inspire passion for home and decoration ideas.
  • Target group preferences: Consideration of persona details and specific preferences.
  • Content guidelines: Compliance with restricted terms, preferred terms, keywords and user questions.
  • Layout and text structure: Concise headings, clear paragraphs and easy-to-understand texts, as well as numerous hands-on tips for DIY enthusiasts and decoration fans.
  • Efficient and fast content optimisation

    After a successful trial run, we got started on creating the content. Working closely with DEPOT, we used AI to create high-quality content for all 50 URLs – and we did it really fast. The texts were exactly right for the target audience and offered creative ideas for decoration, design and DIY.

    This shows how impressive results can be achieved by combining SEO expertise and AI technology. With targeted measures and fast, efficient communication, we were able to support DEPOT in increasing its digital visibility and strengthening its position as a source of inspiration for home and decoration ideas.

    We really enjoyed working with eology and it was super productive! Thanks a lot. 😊 Hopefully, there’ll be a good chance to work together again next year – we’d love to.
