MONTHLY INTELLIGENCESAMPLE EXCERPT
OBSERVATION

A gap between visibility and intent.

Example finding: sampled answers describe the institution’s undergraduate offering, but omit its graduate formats and adult degree-completion pathways. Transfer answers cite an older PDF rather than the current credit-review process. The report separates these gaps by learner audience, question, cited source, and recommended next action.

RECOMMENDED ACTION

Create connected undergraduate, graduate, transfer, and adult-learner hubs. Publish verified program formats, current requirements, cost-resource links, advising routes, and credit-review steps in accessible HTML. Record a baseline question set for each audience and compare mentions, citations, factual accuracy, and source URLs at the next review.

A finding, an owner, a next step, and a way to review progress.
Explore technical SEO & AEO priorities

Connect program, department, admissions, tuition, and learner-pathway pages with descriptive internal links; resolve duplicate catalog URLs and conflicting canonical signals.

Keep deadlines, program availability, delivery formats, and requirements current in crawlable HTML. Redirect retired admissions pages and link to the current official catalog and transfer resources.

Improve mobile forms, image performance, semantic headings, and accessible navigation. Align applicable CollegeOrUniversity and course structured data with verified visible content; measure indexation of priority program pages.
