Sample monthly client report · August 2026

Built around what Corporate Communications reports on

Local SEO, paid search, email, and website work for tourism boards, nonprofits, and Rochester-area businesses

Illustrative figures — not this company's data. Every number below is either labelled illustrative (invented, to show the format) or real (from Archer Scaling's own accounts, or a live run you can reproduce yourself). Nothing here was measured from Corporate Communications's systems, because we have no access to them.

Real: where you show up when a buyer asks an AI assistant

This one is not illustrative. It was actually run on 2026-09-08, and you can reproduce it in about thirty seconds.

Corporate Communications — not named

Asked "who should we hire in Rochester NY to redesign our website and handle our SEO and social media ongoing," ChatGPT Search answered with four other agencies — Roc Web Tech, MTM Graphics, Arca Interactive, and True Creative — and didn't name Corporate Communications anywhere in the answer text. corporatecomm.com also isn't among the 4 citation links returned.

Paste that same prompt in yourself and you will get your own version of this. That is the point — it is checkable, which is why it is the only thing on this page stated as fact about your business.

Illustrative: what moved and why

The narrative section a client actually reads. Generated from the same numbers above.

Local search carried the month Illustrative

Organic sessions finished at 14,802, up 9% on July, and most of that gain came from the map pack rather than the blog Illustrative. Profile views rose 16% Illustrative in the two weeks after the service descriptions were rewritten and seasonal hours were added to every listing. All six of the new top-three keywords are town-name and near-me variants Illustrative, which is the shape we want on this account: smaller volume per term, but they land on a page with a phone number and a form above the fold instead of on a category index.

Paid search got cheaper because we stopped bidding on the wrong half Illustrative

Cost per form fill came down to $38 from $43 Illustrative on flat spend, and there was nothing clever behind it. Three broad-match terms were taking 31% of clicks and returning 4% of conversions Illustrative, so they were paused mid-month and the budget moved into the exact-match campaigns that were already capped. The ceiling now is impression share rather than budget, which is the better problem to have.

Opens held, clicks did not Illustrative

Open rate held at 38.4% Illustrative, so the subject lines and the send times are fine. Click-through is where it slipped, 5.3% down to 4.1% Illustrative. Both August sends led with an event roundup and buried the one thing we actually wanted clicked in the footer. That is a layout problem, not an audience problem, and the list itself grew 4% Illustrative with no rise in unsubscribes.

Illustrative: what happens next month

September: fix the email ask before touching anything else Illustrative

One ask per send, above the fold, with the event roundup underneath it. It runs as a split on the first send of the month so the answer is measured rather than argued, and 4.1% Illustrative is the number to beat. On paid search the work is building the two location pages the exact-match campaigns are currently sharing a single landing page for Illustrative, which should show up in cost per form fill rather than in click volume. Local listings stay on the same monthly cadence, and nothing there needs changing.

What we would need from you Illustrative

A couple of things, both small. Confirm the fall event calendar before the first send goes out, so September is not built on last month's dates. And give a single named person sign-off on landing-page copy, so the new pages are not waiting on a committee. Everything else here runs without you.
