1) Executive Snapshot

Leadership takeaway (Week 24)

Week 24 brought a clear reduction in reach, with 344 sessions (▼21.3%), 337 engaged sessions (▼22.9%), 261 active users (▼23.7%) and 221 new users (▼28.0%). Organic Search also softened to 260 sessions (▼24.4%).

The more encouraging story sits beneath the headline decline. Average engagement increased to 1m 09s (▲40.5%), total clicks remained almost unchanged at 140 (▼1.4%), and Click-to-Shop increased slightly to 112 (▲0.9%). ARC therefore generated almost the same level of customer action from a considerably smaller audience.

What matters most for leadership
Week 24 was not simply a weaker traffic week. Reach declined, but the visitors who did arrive were more engaged and produced unusually resilient shopping activity. The immediate priority is to recover Organic Search reach while preserving this stronger visitor quality.

3) Store & Content Page Performance

Store-page traffic was softer across much of the network, reflecting the overall reduction in reach. Harvey remained the leading store homepage, while Revelstoke was the notable exception and increased week over week.

Interpretation
The page-level softness broadly mirrors the traffic decline rather than pointing to one isolated store issue. Revelstoke moved against the wider trend, while Meet Emily remained visible in the top ten and continues to provide an early baseline for the developing Emily customer journey.

Interpretation
Organic Search remains ARC's foundation at 75.6% of sessions, but its 24.4% weekly decline explains much of the reduction in overall reach. Referral was the bright spot, more than doubling to 27 sessions and recording 4m 12s average engagement. The sample is still small, so the source should be investigated rather than over-interpreted.

Interpretation
Volume-based events naturally fell with the smaller audience, but commercial activity was more resilient. Total clicks were almost unchanged and Click-to-Shop edged higher, suggesting stronger action density among the visitors who reached ARC.

6) Intent Tracking (ARC → Barnet)

Click-to-Shop: 112 actions, up 0.9%. Click-to-Product: 10 actions, down 33.3%. Form submissions: 60, down 10.4%. Total clicks: 140, down only 1.4%.

Leadership interpretation
Week 24's most important commercial signal is resilience. Sessions fell 21.3%, yet Click-to-Shop held slightly above the previous week. On a per-session basis, Click-to-Shop activity increased from roughly 25.4% to 32.6%, indicating a more purposeful audience.
7) Recommended Next Steps
  • Recover Organic Search reach: investigate the 24.4% weekly decline in Organic sessions and the lower volume across several branded search queries.
  • Protect conversion efficiency: preserve the stronger Click-to-Shop activity relative to traffic as reach recovers.
  • Investigate Referral growth: identify which sources generated the 27 Referral sessions and unusually high engagement.
  • Monitor Emily: continue establishing a clean baseline for Meet Emily and the broader wine-discovery journey.
  • Review AI Assistant: track the smaller but still measurable 13-session acquisition source without over-interpreting short-term volatility.
  • Attribution cleanup: continue investigating Unassigned traffic and tagging consistency.
In Summary

Week 24 brought fewer visitors, but the traffic that remained showed stronger engagement and unusually resilient shopping behaviour. Organic Search weakness explains much of the reduction in reach and should be the primary watch item. At the same time, average engagement improved substantially, Referral traffic strengthened, clicks remained almost flat and Click-to-Shop edged higher. ARC's opportunity is to restore audience volume without losing this stronger visitor quality.

Quote of the week
Week 24 brought fewer visitors, but stronger intent — ARC generated virtually the same customer actions from a considerably smaller audience.
