Population and method

Built from 337,362 citations and 11,406,191 crawler visits across 882 brands, with page-type classification and crawl-to-citation matching.

Where the evidence stops

Efficiency is relative to share, so it is best used for prioritization, not as a standalone success metric.

Underperforming page types can still be necessary for other jobs such as onboarding, conversion, or account support.

Crawler behavior and citation behavior are linked but not identical, especially across bot families.

What to do with this

Strategists should allocate resources toward explanation-heavy editorial formats, as these pages convert crawler attention into active citations more effectively than standard product or transactional pages.
