Chime increased AI search citations 3x with AirOps content optimization

The problem

Chime's organic growth team managed over 700 blog posts under strict compliance requirements, but their refresh process was fragmented and manual, limiting them to roughly 50 posts per quarter despite hundreds more having growth potential.

First attempt

Chime built an internal GPT-powered content workflow tool for writing, but the true bottleneck was upstream: identifying which posts to update, prioritizing them, and building a clear SEO/AEO strategy remained manual and unaddressed.
