Week 27 reversed the previous week's audience decline. Sessions, active users and new users all increased, with Organic Search providing 72.51% of sessions and returning to growth.

Interpretation

Harvey remained the network leader at 147 views. Guisachan, Vernon and Glenmore all improved. Featured Emily's Wine Selects reached 42 views from seven active users, while Ask Emily recorded 21 views from four users. These remain small samples, but they provide useful early evidence of deeper wine-content exploration.

What this means: acquisition recovered faster than downstream action. Week 28 should focus on turning the larger audience into more product exploration, shopping clicks and enquiries.

AI Assistant Signal

AI Assistant volume normalized from 39 to 15 sessions, but quality remained exceptional. Those sessions averaged 7m 19s engagement, 26.67 events per session, generated 400 events and 399 key events. The channel therefore remains strategically interesting even at lower weekly volume.

Recommended Actions

  • Identify the search queries and landing pages behind Organic growth.
  • Review the Click-to-Shop decline despite stronger acquisition.
  • Monitor AI Assistant quality and seek to rebuild volume.
  • Continue measuring Featured Emily's Wine Selects and Ask Emily.
  • Review form softness.
  • Investigate Unassigned traffic.
