What happened, and what it means for the next thing you write.
Analytics answers what happened, which is where most tools stop, leaving the interpretation to you. That interpretation is the part that never gets done, so the numbers get looked at monthly and acted on never.
A dashboard nobody acts on is a subscription, not a tool.
Every content team has access to Search Console. Very few have a reliable weekly habit of opening it, working out which of four hundred rows matters, and turning that into a task somebody does. The data is not the bottleneck. The interpretation is.
And the interpretation almost never travels back to the plan. A team measures its own output, files the report, and then chooses next month's topics the same way it chose last month's, as though the measurement had not happened.
Measurement that does not change the next decision is theatre.
Read it, rank it by what there is to gain, then feed it back.
- 1
Every page, with its movement
Clicks, impressions, click-through and position, each paired with the same window immediately before it. A number with nothing to compare it to is not a finding.
- 2
Ranked by potential, not by traffic
Sorted by what there is to gain rather than by what a page already earns. Those are rarely the same pages, and only one of them tells you where next month's work goes.
- 3
Findings, each with an action
Every finding ends in a button that does the work: build the optimised draft, add the query as a topic, open the page. A finding whose only affordance is 'open in a new tab' ends on somebody's to-do list.

Back into the plan
Winning themes, striking-distance queries and decaying pages are handed to the planner, and published pieces are re-read at thirty, sixty and ninety days against the score they were given.
The three questions worth asking of a content programme.
Every line here describes something the software actually does. If one of them turns out not to be true of your setup, that is a bug and we want to hear about it.
What is nearly working: striking distance, quantified.
Queries ranking fourth to twentieth with real impressions, with the clicks the position curve says you are leaving on the table. Editing an existing page is the cheapest win available to any site.
What is quietly failing: ranking without earning.
High impressions and almost no clicks, which is a title and description problem rather than a content one, and the fastest thing on the list to fix.
What to write next, informed by both.
The planner receives what is winning, what is in striking distance and what is decaying, so the queue and the reporting agree about what is working instead of being two separate opinions.
Whether the scoring is any good.
Predicted score against observed performance at three horizons, stored per article. Over enough pieces it says whether the planner is systematically optimistic about a whole category of topic for your business.
It covers your whole site, not just what Docket wrote.
Every URL Search Console reports, with Docket's read of the page beside Google's numbers, and a one-click optimised rewrite for any of them.
What it does not do
- It cannot measure anything until Google is connected, and the screens say so with a setup checklist rather than showing zeroes that read as bad performance.
- Search Console reports on a delay of about two days, and the most recent days fill in later. Nothing here can make Google's data arrive faster.
- It does not attribute revenue. GA4 conversions can be read, but connecting a piece of content to a booking is a modelling exercise this does not pretend to do.
- It does not re-weight the opportunity score automatically. It reports the gap and leaves the decision with you.
- It is not a rank tracker. Positions come from Search Console's own averages rather than from scraping results daily.

Not a slide deck. We run the checks against your actual domain before the call and spend the time on what came back. If it turns out you do not need this, we will say so.
