Content SEO Analytics: Diagnosing Performance Beyond Traffic Numbers
About this program
Page traffic went down. Was it a ranking drop, a seasonality shift, a SERP feature stealing clicks, or something in the content itself? Answering that correctly changes everything about what you do next, and most diagnostic processes skip steps that would make the answer clearer.
The diagnostic framework at the centre of this course
Over six weeks, you will build a repeatable process for diagnosing content performance changes using Search Console query data, rank tracking tools, SERP feature analysis, and engagement metrics from GA4. Each week focuses on one layer of that diagnosis, and participants work through examples from real content audits conducted with permission from participating site owners.
There is substantial focus on the update-vs-consolidate decision because it is where a lot of effort gets misdirected. Rewriting a page that actually needs to be merged with another page does not help organic performance. The course covers how to identify which situation you are in before committing editorial time.
Format and instructor
Sessions run weekly on Wednesday evenings, 6:30 PM ET, and each is about 75 minutes. Instructor Nadège Kowalczyk has spent six years focused specifically on content performance analysis for media and SaaS clients, and the case material she brings to each session is detailed and specific rather than illustrative and generic.
Previous SEO experience recommended. This course assumes familiarity with Search Console and basic GA4 navigation.Program structure
