SearchPilot is a specialist SEO A/B testing platform that lets teams run controlled experiments on meta tags, content, internal links, and structured data to measure the actual impact of SEO changes on organic traffic—before rolling out to the full site. It removes the guesswork from SEO decision-making.
Product Overview
SearchPilot solves a fundamental problem in SEO: causation vs. correlation. Standard before/after analysis can't separate the impact of a specific change from seasonal trends or algorithm updates. For RevOps and marketing ops leaders, SearchPilot provides statistical evidence for SEO investments, enabling more confident prioritisation and faster rollout of proven changes.
RevOps Jobs-to-Be-Done
- Title tag optimisation experiments — Test different title tag formats on a sample of pages to measure click-through rate and traffic impact. KPI: Identify the title format that increases organic CTR by a measurable, statistically significant margin
- Structured data impact testing — Test Schema.org implementation on a subset of pages to measure impact on rich result appearance and traffic. KPI: Validate structured data ROI before engineering resource commitment
Key Features
- Meta-layer Testing: Inject changes at the CDN/edge layer without requiring developer deploys, enabling fast experiment setup.
- Statistical Significance Engine: Bayesian and frequentist statistical models to ensure test results are reliable.
- Variant Management: Manage multiple experiments across large template-driven sites simultaneously.
- Traffic Impact Reporting: Measure the direct organic traffic impact of each experiment with confidence intervals.
