Digital team summary

Evidence, category gaps, approval steps, and modeled exposure for the team that will execute the fixes.

This section keeps the current evidence-based brief: category exposure, representative competitor contrast, approval-gated work, and the assumptions that must be validated before modeled opportunity becomes measured ROI.

1
Pick the first category to fix

Fasteners is currently the weakest mapped category.

2
Use competitors as the clarity benchmark

Grainger is clearer by 91 points in Material Handling.

3
Approve fixes, not autopublishing

Actions prepare metadata, category copy, source-pack, and buyer-agent readiness work for human review.

Decisions to approve

Human gated
  1. Approve category title, meta, and H1 rewrite rules for the highest-exposure category.
  2. Assign the CMS or template owner for commerce category page fixes.
  3. Approve the AI source-pack outline for category, service-area, and approved-claims facts.
  4. Connect GSC and CRM data to convert modeled exposure into measured revenue impact.
Modeled exposure is not measured revenue. It uses crawl depth, category weakness, competitor clarity gap, and AI prompt risk until GSC, CRM, and conversion data are connected.
