Initiative Name: SCMR-4 – SayPro Monthly A/B Testing (February)
Objective: Improve Post Rankings via Title and Content Optimization
Managing Team: SayPro Posts Office

🎯 Primary Goal

Target Statement:
Achieve a minimum 5% improvement in average search engine rankings for posts that undergo A/B tested title and content optimization during Q1 2025.

Why It Matters:
Search engine visibility is key to organic content discovery. Small ranking improvements—particularly from position 11 to 9 or 6 to 4—can significantly impact click-through rates (CTR) and traffic volume. Title relevance, keyword alignment, and on-page content structure are known ranking factors.
