A/B Test Setup

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Plan and run experiments to find out which version of your page, email, or ad works best.

SEO & AI Search Optimization

By C1 (Marketing)

Audit and improve your site's visibility in Google, ChatGPT, and AI-powered search.

What each one does

A/B Test Setup

  • Helps you write a clear hypothesis for what you're testing and why
  • Calculates how much traffic and time you need for statistically valid results
  • Guides you in choosing primary, secondary, and guardrail metrics to track
  • Explains how to design test variants that isolate a single meaningful change
  • Analyzes results and tells you whether the difference is real or just noise

SEO & AI Search Optimization

  • Audits your site for crawling, indexing, and technical SEO problems (page speed, mobile-friendliness, broken links)
  • Reviews on-page SEO: titles, meta descriptions, headings, keyword targeting, and content quality
  • Checks if AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) can access and cite your content
  • Recommends schema markup (structured data) to help search engines understand your pages
  • Prioritizes fixes by impact (Critical/High/Medium/Low) so you know what to tackle first
