Weekly Performance Report

A weekly leadership snapshot (traffic + engagement) plus proof-of-impact tracking that measures customers moving from ARC store pages into the Barnet shopping pathway.

Intent events tracked: click_to_shop + click_to_product (store-attributed)
1) Executive Snapshot

Headline takeaway (Mar 30–Apr 5)

This week was a cooldown after last week’s lift. Traffic and on-site activity were down week-over-week, but the most important upgrade remains intact: intent tracking is live and continues to produce measurable Barnet actions.

Active users

↓ 22.5% vs previous 7 days
Sessions
267
↓ 23.9% vs previous 7 days
Engaged sessions
264
↓ 24.1% vs previous 7 days
Engagement depth
Average engagement time per active user was 47s (↓ 26.9%). The decline is consistent across volume metrics and looks like normal weekly fluctuation (less promo lift / fewer spikes), not a tracking-error pattern.

What stayed strong (and why it matters)

  • Organic Search increased week-over-week (+6.7%) even while total sessions fell.
  • Intent tracking held steady enough to trust: Shop-click users stayed flat at 57.
  • This keeps leadership reporting tied to shopping pathway actions, not just page views.

3) Store Page Performance (Views by Location)

Store pages still function as the primary decision hubs. This week’s story is mix shift: Harvey held steady; Revelstoke cooled sharply; Vernon + Glenmore nudged upward; Monthly Flyer interest grew.

4) Traffic Sources (Acquisition)

Sessions by channel (Mar 30–Apr 5 vs Mar 23–29)

Organic Search: 190 (↑ 6.7%) Direct: 48 (↓ 62.5%) Referral: 26 (↓ 35%) Unassigned: 3 (↓ 40%)
Interpretation
Organic Search carried the week and actually increased. The overall decline is mostly explained by a large drop in Direct traffic (brand/return/typed/QR-style behaviour).

5) Events Snapshot (What People Did)

Events are down in line with traffic — the signal is “lower site usage,” not broken tracking.

Report wording (1–2 lines)
“Engagement events fell more sharply than traffic this week, suggesting fewer deep-browsing sessions. This aligns with the drop in Direct and overall site volume.”

6) Big Win (Still): Intent Tracking (Barnet)

Barnet click events (Mar 30–Apr 5 vs Mar 23–29)

  • click_to_shop: 66 (↓ 12%)
  • Shop-click users: 57 vs 57 (flat)
  • click_to_product: 4 vs 4 (flat; early-stage volume)
Interpretation
Even with traffic down, ARC still sent 57 unique users into Barnet via Shop clicks. This remains the cleanest proof-of-impact metric showing ARC influencing the shopping pathway.

Event parameters (for clean reporting)

Each intent event carries metadata so reporting can be store-attributed.

What we can answer weekly ✅ Which store pages generate the most Barnet clicks? ✅ Which Barnet store is receiving the most outbound traffic from ARC? ✅ Which buttons are working best (Shop vs Buy)? ✅ How intent shifts week-to-week even when traffic fluctuates.
In Summary

Mar 30–Apr 5 (vs Mar 23–29) was a down week in volume: active users, sessions, and engagement decreased ~20–30%. The key positives are that Organic Search increased and the new Barnet intent tracking continues to generate measurable shopping-path actions (66 shop clicks from 57 users).

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.

  • page_path — which ARC page the click happened on
  • link_text — what button/link was clicked (e.g., “Shop”, “Buy”)
  • link_url — exact destination URL (Barnet)
