Client: The Chemours Company – Titanium Technologies Division (Ti-Pure™)
Industry: Industrial Chemicals & Materials Manufacturing
Challenge: Decentralized global websites with poor search visibility
Results: 187% increase in inbound leads, $48M pipeline growth, $18M revenue impact
The Chemours Company’s Titanium Technologies division, manufacturer of the world-renowned Ti-Pure™ titanium dioxide products, faced a critical digital visibility challenge. Despite being one of the world’s largest TiO₂ producers with manufacturing facilities across North America (DeLisle, Mississippi; New Johnsonville, Tennessee; and Altamira, Mexico), their decentralized global websites used inconsistent technical approaches and generated virtually no organic search visibility.
The ABM Agency implemented a comprehensive SEO and GEO transformation that unified their digital presence, optimized for both traditional search and AI-powered discovery, and delivered exceptional business results: 187% increase in inbound leads, $48 million in new pipeline, and nearly $18 million in attributed revenue. The ABM Agency created custom dashboards to track share of voice, brand mentions, citations and answer engine traffic.
