Marketing myths, tested in public.

We test the algorithms across all of digital marketing: search, local and reviews, social, video, marketplaces, email, ads, and more. Every experiment has a hypothesis and a control, and results only appear once the data is in.

1 · Question

A claim about an algorithm that marketers repeat but nobody has proven.

2 · Baseline

Measure everything before we change anything.

3 · Treatment

Change one thing on one site, and keep a control.

4 · Results

Published either way, including when nothing happens.

Does a faster server rank better?

The same content on a fast host and a slow host. We are testing whether server speed (time to first byte) changes rankings.
