Traffic grows, but sales don’t. Rank for the searches that buy.
The traffic chart looks great, revenue doesn’t move. Growth from informational queries or the wrong products rarely reaches the checkout.
- Organic sessions up, orders flat
- Growth from blog posts, not categories or products
- High bounce on product pages from search
- Best-selling products rank poorly
Three checks you can run today
Each takes minutes. Together they tell you whether this page is about your problem.
- Revenue by landing pageIn analytics, rank organic landing pages by revenue, not visits.
- Check your bestsellersWhere do your top 20 products rank for their main search?
- Compare intentAre your growing queries questions, or buying searches?
Revenue cohort reconciliation
Join organic landing pages with completed transactions, refunds and the attribution rules used by the business.
| Situation to check | Proposed scope | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue by landing page | In analytics, rank organic landing pages by revenue, not visits. Informational traffic growth can coexist with flat product demand and should be reported as a separate cohort. | A modelled analytics conversion is not interchangeable with a settled sale in the order system. |
| Check your bestsellers | Where do your top 20 products rank for their main search? | Keep an unchanged comparison sample so this check can distinguish the proposed cause from unrelated variation. |
| Informational growth | Traffic from questions far from purchase. | Treat this as a hypothesis until the affected URL or account evidence supports it. |
| Ready to commission a fix | Reconcile a dated order sample and define which page changes could plausibly influence commercial outcomes. | [CONFIRM: access, scope, owner, fee and review date before work begins.] |
