A search improvement has no matching enquiry evidence

A useful page gains clicks, but the practice assumes this means more completed enquiries without checking the next stage.

What to change

Search performance describes discovery, while the practice's business questions concern later actions. Ask the analyst to identify the landing pages behind the click change and compare their approved onward measurement where it exists. If that measurement is missing, state the gap and plan a suitable check. Do not convert additional clicks into estimated patients or revenue without a defensible connection between the stages.

A worked example

Illustrative example

Illustrative test: Compare a guide's search clicks with its recorded onward actions, where available.

How to check the result

The conclusion states which stage improved and which remains unverified.

A mistake to avoid

Search clicks are not interchangeable with patients, bookings or qualified enquiries.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
