Feature

Analytics and reporting.

One report a month on what the hub is actually doing, per expert and per subject, including which companies are reading it.

KindFeature
DeliveryBuilt into the hub

Every page in the hub is measured on the same handful of things that matter: where it ranks, whether an answer engine names it, how many people read it, who they work for, and how many of them left a name.

It is not a dashboard nobody opens. It is a monthly report written by the team that did the work, with a league table of every expert on the platform, and with the gaps in it as well as the wins, because the gaps are what next month is for.

Why it matters

What measuring it properly actually changes.

You can tell whether it is workingThought leadership has a reputation for being unmeasurable, which is mostly a reporting failure. Positions, named prompts, readers and enquiries are all countable.
You find out who is readingNot just how many. The report names the companies whose people are reading, which is the difference between a traffic number and a business development list.
A league table gets experts movingEvery expert on the platform in one ranked table, shared with all of them. Nothing we have found makes a partner turn up to their interview like seeing where they sit against the others.
It sets the next month's workThe report ends with what we are doing next and why, drawn from what did not work as much as from what did.

Which companies are reading

Company-level identification on the pages that matter, so a partner can see that three people from a target account have read the same expert twice.

  • Company, not individual, and nothing a visitor did not offer
  • Flagged when a target account appears

A league table of every expert on the platform

One table, every expert, ranked on the measures that matter. It is the single most effective thing in the report, because a partner who can see they are eighth out of eleven does not need chasing for their next interview.

  • Readers, positions held, prompts named and subscribers won
  • Movement since last month, so a quiet quarter is visible
  • Shared with the experts, not just with the managing partner

Our view

Why we report the gaps.

Jordan Greenaway
Any agency can send you a chart that goes up. The useful part of a monthly report is the sentence explaining what did not work, because that is the only part that changes what we do next. If a report has no bad news in it after nine months, somebody is not reading the data.

Questions

What firms ask about this.

+What exactly do you measure?
Search positions for the terms we agreed, which prompts name your experts, readers per page, subscribers, enquiries, and company-level identification of who is reading. All of it per expert and per subject.
+Is the company identification GDPR compliant?
It resolves organisations rather than individuals, and it does not name a person who has not given you their details. The privacy policy on the hub says exactly what is collected and why.
+Is the league table not going to upset people?
It can, and that is mostly the point. In practice the partners who are behind ask what the ones ahead are doing, which is a much better conversation than us chasing them. If a firm would rather it stayed private, it can be sent to the managing partner only.
+Do we get access to the raw data?
Yes. The report is the summary, and the underlying analytics are yours to log into whenever you want.
+Who writes the report?
The team running your hub, not an automated export. It takes them a morning and it is the reason the report has opinions in it.
+How does this connect to our CRM?
Enquiries and subscribers can be forwarded into whatever you use, and several clients have us send them to a shared inbox and let their own team route them.
+What does month one look like?
Thin, honestly. Month one reports what was published and what is indexed. Positions and named prompts need a few months before the numbers mean anything.
+Will you tell us if it is not working?
Yes, and we will tell you what we think the cause is. The alternative is a client discovering it themselves in month eleven.
