Assess one buyer question

Choose a real question your customers ask. Record the exact wording, platform, date, answer and linked sources. Check whether your relevant page answers it and which facts are missing.

  • One question and target audience
  • Dated answer and linked sources
  • Relevant page and missing facts

Improve the page that should answer it

Put a direct answer near the top, explain the service and its limits, and support factual claims with sources. Keep the page crawlable and link to it from relevant pages.

  • Direct answer, not a keyword list
  • Supported facts and clear limits
  • Crawlable page and relevant links

Measure observations, not promises

Repeat the same question on the same platform and keep dated records; answers can vary. Compare cited pages and, where permitted tracking exists, referral visits and enquiries. One screenshot is not a trend.

  • Same question, platform and dates
  • Citations separated from visits and enquiries
  • No guaranteed inclusion or ranking
