Semantic Fashion Audit for CHANEL

Semantic Fashion Audit for CHANEL

Description

🧠 Context

As part of a strategic initiative to strengthen the organic visibility of CHANEL's Fashion, Sunglasses & Haute Couture (FSH) division, a global semantic audit was conducted. The goal was to better align site content offerings with user search demand while respecting luxury brand constraints.

🚧 Challenge

Despite strong brand awareness, CHANEL was losing ground on semi-generic queries or iconic product searches, often outranked by resellers, media, or second-hand platforms. Many product pages remained unindexed, some offering segments were underrepresented, and several high-potential queries were not targeted.

💡 Solution

I led a full semantic audit based on performance analysis, product offering structure, and user search behavior. As a result, we provided actionable recommendations:

  • Identification of visibility opportunities on strategic queries
  • Query mapping by offer segment, channel (SEO, SMO, SEA) and user intent
  • Keyword prioritization by potential and relevance
  • Alignment of target page types with demand (PLP, PDP, thematic landings)
  • Content and internal linking recommendations aligned with brand standards

This work established a shared roadmap between SEO, content, product and branding teams, with pragmatic and realistic prioritization at FSH division level.

Mission

Evaluate the semantic coverage of FSH content and recommend editorial & technical strategies to strengthen organic presence on key queries.
