Measurement & Intelligence

Organic growth is only an asset if it can be measured, defended and acted on. We design the measurement before the work begins, and we report in the units the business already uses.

Serves the Clarify, Prove stages of the Method.

What it is

Most organic reporting counts what is easy, sessions, rankings, mentions, and leaves the important questions unanswered: what changed, what caused it, and what should we do next. We build measurement around those questions, using controlled tests where possible and stating the limits where not.

When you need it

  • Reporting that a finance team cannot reconcile with pipeline or revenue.
  • No way to separate the effect of organic work from seasonality, paid media or product changes.
  • Visibility in answer engines and other surfaces that nobody is measuring.
  • Dashboards without method notes, so nobody trusts the figures.

How we approach it

  1. Measurement design in the Clarify stage: definitions, sources, baselines and the questions each report must answer.
  2. Data foundations: analytics and search-console integrity, conversion definitions, attribution model chosen and documented.
  3. Incrementality: holdouts, geo or template tests and pre/post analysis with confounders recorded.
  4. Board-level reporting in the client's units, every figure with a method note and a source.

What we deliver

  • Measurement plan and data dictionary
  • Experiment register and analysis templates
  • Quarterly evidence report
  • Dashboard specification for the client's own tooling

How we measure it

  • Share of organic outcomes with an attributable cause
  • Reconciliation of reported organic demand with finance figures
  • Decision cadence: how often reports lead to a documented decision

Every figure we report carries a method note and a source. Where a result cannot be attributed with confidence, we say so.

    How to Run a Prompt Panel for AI Citations

    There is no Search Console for ChatGPT, Perplexity or AI Overviews. A prompt panel is the closest thing to one: a fixed set of buyer questions, asked the same way every month, with every cited source written down. Here is how we build and run ours.

    SEO for SaaS: Build a Growth Engine, Not a Blog

    Most SaaS companies treat organic as a blog with a signup button. The ones that grow from it build a page system around what buyers are trying to do, measure signups rather than sessions, and let the product itself earn links. A practical guide to doing that.
