1) Executive Snapshot

Headline takeaway (Apr 06–Apr 12)

This week held steady and showed improving quality: overall sessions and engaged sessions ticked up slightly, event activity increased, and average engagement time more than doubled — suggesting visitors were spending more time on-page (fewer “quick in/quick out” visits than last week).

Sessions

What matters most for leadership
Traffic volume was stable, but attention and interaction were up — and Barnet “intent tracking” continues to provide measurable proof that ARC pages are driving customers into store shopping pathways.

3) Store Page Performance (Views by Location)

Store pages continue to function as the primary decision hubs. This week’s story is a location mix shift: Harvey remains the anchor, Vernon made a strong gain, and a non-ARC template page created a one-off reporting anomaly.

Page Views WoW note
Home–Harvey116Slight dip (↓ 6.5%) — still the anchor hub
Home–Vernon58Standout mover (↑ 26.1%) — worth leaning into
Home–Guisachan46Near-flat (↓ 2.1%)
Home–Glenmore25Softened (↓ 21.9%) — candidate for a visibility push
Home–Revelstoke21Flat week-over-week
Monthly Flyer11Cooled (↓ 52.2%) — fewer promo-browsing sessions

4) Traffic Sources (How People Are Finding ARC)

Channel mix shifted again: Organic dipped, while Direct + Referral strengthened (often a sign of returning visitors and more inbound linking/shared content).

Organic Search: 173 (↓ 8.9%) Direct: 53 (↑ 10.4%) Referral: 39 (↑ 50.0%) Unassigned: 15 (↑ 400.0%) Organic Social: 3 (small volume)
Interpretation
Organic Search remains the #1 driver by volume, but softened this week. The lift came from Direct and Referral, which typically reflects stronger returning/known-intent traffic and more inbound linking activity.

Quick context note: Unassigned spikes are usually attribution-related (missing referrer/UTM; some apps/links don’t pass attribution cleanly). Worth watching, but it doesn’t automatically mean “bad traffic.”

5) Events Snapshot (What People Did)

Event totals are up slightly week-over-week, and the pattern is clear: visitors who did arrive engaged more deeply (especially via user_engagement + scroll), even though first-time visitors dipped.

page_view: 538 (↑ 5.9%) user_engagement: 350 (↑ 16.7%) session_start: 270 (↑ 1.9%) first_visit: 178 (↓ 8.7%) click: 81 (↓ 8.0%) scroll: 59 (↑ 22.9%) click_to_shop: 65 (↓ 1.5%)
Report wording (1–2 lines)
“Overall engagement strengthened this week: user_engagement rose (+16.7%) and scrolls increased (+22.9%), suggesting higher-quality browsing even though first-time visitors fell (−8.7%). Barnet shop clicks held steady at 65 (−1.5%), meaning the shopping pathway remained consistent week-over-week.”

6) Intent Tracking (ARC → Barnet)

Still the core win

We can continue reporting high-intent actions weekly — this is the measurable bridge between ARC visibility and the Barnet shopping pathway.

  • click_to_shop — users entering Barnet store pages (store-attributed)
  • click_to_product — users entering specific Barnet product pages (higher intent, lower volume)
  • click_to_call — taps on phone numbers (when present/visible in the reporting window)
This week
click_to_shop = 65 (↓ 1.5%) — essentially stable week-over-week.
Interpretation: even on a flatter traffic week, ARC pages are still routing shoppers into Barnet.

Intent Tracking (ARC → Barnet)

These events show measurable “next-step” behaviour toward shopping or calling.

click_to_shop

Outbound click from ARC into a store’s Barnet site (store home/category). Strong “shopping intent” signal.

click_to_product

Outbound click to a specific Barnet product page. Higher intent, usually lower volume.

click_to_call

Tap/click on a phone number (tel:). High intent, especially on mobile.



Event parameters captured (for reporting)

  • store — which location (Harvey / Guisachan / Glenmore / Revelstoke / Vernon)
  • page_path — which ARC page the click happened on
