A Clearer View of What's Driving Your Growth
Hi H Client!
Growth is a system, not a collection of marketing services. Your ads, your search rankings, your AI visibility, your Google Business Profile, the social posts, the emails and the reviews all feed the same pipeline, and every one of them should be working toward the same goals and measured against them. The homeowner or the property manager who comes across you three different ways before they ever reach out is the normal case rather than the exception. That's the thinking behind the reporting that we build for you, and over the past few months we've rebuilt it from the ground up.
Your new reporting dashboard, right inside your H Client Portal, has already started rolling out. It's organized around three questions instead of around platforms. Growth at a Glance gives you the top-level picture. Visibility covers how findable you are. Leads and Revenue covers what that visibility actually produced.
Growth at a Glance opens with your total leads from all sources, your blended cost per lead including ad spend, and a trend line that runs twelve months and further back, so you can see the shape of your whole year. The timeframe selector works the way it always has, so you can still compare one period against another. A short written summary sits just underneath, calling out what changed since last month.
Visibility is where you'll notice the most change. Your rankings were always there, though you'll see a new look now, and that's because we moved all of our keyword tracking over to Semrush, the leading software in the SEO industry. Our investment in it is substantially higher than the software we used before, and the data is more reliable, it updates more frequently, and it gives us more to work with than anything else we've tested. Bringing it in meant rebuilding how rankings display, so you'll still see your keyword rankings, alongside new data points, now and in the future, that we use to make timely strategic decisions for your SEO and your visibility in AI search.
Your AI visibility tracking is unchanged from what we launched earlier this year. Your social posting, your email marketing and your Google reviews now sit in the same place as everything else, rather than off on their own.
Leads and Revenue is where your calls and form submissions live, and over time it's where the conversation moves past activity and toward what's actually winning work. If you have an integration set up with our help, connecting your leads through to closed revenue, you'll see that here based on the data available. It lets us align what we're focusing on with what you're actually closing, measure that against your revenue goals, and see which of your divisions need the most support. If you don't have that set up yet, you'll see a placeholder there, and it's worth asking your Project Manager to start that conversation.
There's nothing for you to do. Your dashboard will look different the next time you open it, and your Project Manager will walk you through it on your next call. This is the ground, not the ceiling. There's more coming, so stay tuned!
Until Next time,
