Avolut Automates Google Business Profiles for Chicorée
Dietikon-based digital agency Avolut has automated Google Business Profile management for Swiss fashion retailer Chicorée. The solution centralizes and syncs store master data (including opening hours) and product availability for more than 180 locations, pushes up to 25 lookbook images per store, and delivers localized news via API in German or French. Via Google Local Inventory Avolut transmits roughly 500,000 daily inventory entries so customers can see in‑store availability. The system also extracts daily reviews, uses a language model to classify sentiment and topic, and writes insights plus impressions data into Chicorée’s Snowflake data platform. Chicorée reports about two million monthly Google impressions and sells over 15 million garments annually.
Demonstrates automation of local search profiles, inventory feed management and LLM-based review analysis for a national retailer — relevant to local SEO, retail inventory feeds and MarTech integrations but limited to a single client and not industry-shifting.
