Recommended Actions

Execute an LLM-specific digital PR campaign targeting Claude and ChatGPT training sources.

With 0% and 13% visibility respectively, CookUnity is missing the majority of the conversational AI market while Google-based platforms are already saturated.

Impact: High

Develop and publish clinical-grade content specifically targeting the GLP-1 and medical nutrition segment.

The current visibility for GLP-1 queries is unstable (ranging from #2 to #9); structured data and expert-backed content will stabilize these high-intent rankings.

Impact: Medium

Optimize corporate landing pages for 'Office Healthy Lunch' and 'Employee Benefits' keywords.

CookUnity ranks at position #6 for corporate wellness; moving into the top 3 will unlock a high-LTV B2B customer base.

Impact: Medium

Leverage 'The Biohacking Tech Lead' persona by integrating more data-driven health claims into product descriptions.

This persona shows a 59% mention rate; aligning content with their specific needs will push CookUnity to become their primary meal recommendation.

Impact: Low
