Week of 2026-05-11
Four audience-scoped reads: AI/LLM week 2 — conversion side now real (5 conv on 726 sess, CR 0.69%); 29-lead cohort, SEO-LLM concentration two weeks running; 7 of 24 first-touch calls included, with a new "engagement-floor disqualification" pattern on 4/7; lead of the week — 5WPR (NYC PR agency, chatgpt.com/(none)-sourced, BV 56, hard hire-screen on Lovable).
SEO Page Redesigns — Weekly GA Performance (2026)
Pure-GA before/after read of the five 2026 SEO page redesigns (Software Outsourcing, Software Development Services, Staff Augmentation, Dedicated Teams, Nearshore). 4 of 5 pages gained engaged-reader time-on-page once bouncer noise is stripped; Outsourcing is the only page where engaged-hit engagement got worse; conversion is not measurable at this volume. Includes channel split (no paid campaign behind the lift), landing vs mid-session split, Jira initiative + engineering epic + deploy-date inventory, weekly distribution box-plots, and inline SQL.
Case-studies Surface — Page Analysis (GII-608)
Context for the case-studies collection refresh. Two page types in scope: the /clients/ listing (including industry sub-pages) and individual /case-studies/<slug> pages. Last 90 days (2026-02-23 → 2026-05-25). Eight chapters: volume, inbound/outbound journeys, conversion impact at same-session, multi-session user, and post-hit levels, engagement, return rate, per-study spread, industry breakdown, listing↔case-study cohort split.
