Case studies

Proof across the distribution stack.

Search is where we have the deepest publishable data today. These studies show how that layer creates discovery quickly, compounds over time and stays resilient when one channel falters.

What this proves

Codolie can build and operate durable search and AI discovery from a cold start.

How it fits

Discovery is one layer of a wider distribution plan spanning strategy, social and short-form.

What comes next

Launch, social and video results will be added as client data becomes publishable.

Focused client deployments

Our owned properties let us publish complete data. These third-party deployments show that the discovery system transfers into very different markets and business models.

Client deployment · Local service

#1–2 on Google for every way locals search.

A pilates & yoga studio in Alcúdia, Mallorca. Focused deployment: website plus a local content foundation. Within weeks it ranked #1–2 for effectively every local search — Spanish, Catalan-adjacent and English alike (“pilates alcudia”, “clases de pilates cerca de mi”, “beach yoga mallorca”). For a local business, that is the entire job: be the answer when someone nearby searches.

Clicks / month since launch+130% in 4 months

71 queries in Google’s top 3 · CTR 5–7.5%, typical of high-intent local search.

Client deployment · B2B intelligence

Zero to 205 top-10 rankings in ~4 months.

A B2B company in critical-materials market intelligence — a deep technical niche with hyper-specific search demand. Focused deployment: full website build plus 3 months of pipeline content, starting from a domain that didn’t exist. By month 4 the site held 200+ top-10 rankings, and when a major supply-chain disruption hit its sector, it was already positioned in the top 5 for the queries analysts were suddenly searching.

Event-ready: when the disruption broke, weekly impressions jumped ~60x in two weeks — the site was already ranking before the demand arrived.
