Recommended Actions

!

Develop and deploy 'Blue Zones' and longevity-focused content modules.

With only 34% visibility in the longevity persona, Camellia is missing the largest current trend in bean consumption; aligning the brand with 'health-conscious meatless protein' is essential for growth.

Impact: High
!

Execute an AIOverviews (SGE) optimization strategy using structured recipe schema and authoritative 'Best Of' listicles.

A 36% mention rate in AIOverviews is significantly lower than the brand's 68% LLM rate, indicating that search-based AI is not currently pulling Camellia's data effectively.

Impact: High
~

Claim the 'Premium' quality narrative in brand messaging to compete directly with Rancho Gordo.

AI platforms currently categorize Camellia as 'traditional' but often look elsewhere for 'premium' or 'best quality' staples; narrowing this gap will capture higher-intent shoppers.

Impact: Medium
~

Incorporate more fiber-specific and meatless-prep keywords into digital assets.

The brand was 'NOT MENTIONED' in several high-fiber and meatless dinner queries, representing a lost opportunity to solve specific user pain points identified by the AI.

Impact: Medium
