🎯 Launch Impact Summary: Insights & Next Steps

Analysis from Squarespace (cumulative) + Google Analytics (detailed tracking)

📊 59% Traffic Decline Between Periods

Traffic consolidated in Period 2 (Sept 18 - Oct 14, 27 days), with 482 Illinois active users across 131 cities. This 59% decline in traffic and 27% reduction in geographic spread compared to Period 1 (Aug 27 - Sept 17, 22 days) is typical post-launch behavior as initial media-driven interest normalizes. Chicago's share of Illinois traffic increased from 51% to 54%. Outside of Chicago, most individual cities saw decreased engagement, with notable drops in Naperville (26→2 users) and Aurora (25→4 users).

📍 179→131 Illinois Cities Reached

Traffic concentration reflects Illinois population distribution (US Census 2020). Reaching 131 cities including major downstate centers (Springfield, Rockford, Peoria, Champaign) demonstrates visibility beyond Chicago, though engagement levels vary significantly by location.

✅ 18% School & Education Conversion Rate

School & Education resources show exceptional 18% download conversion rate in Period 1 (Aug 27 - Sept 17, 22 days). Vital Records/ID demonstrated strong 8-10% conversion demonstrating demand for identity document support. Healthcare maintained consistent 8-11% conversion across both periods. Hotline visibility as second most-visited page signals interest in direct support services.

💡 Recommended Actions

1. Boost General Resources visibility: Consider implementing a homepage popup to highlight content under General Resources. The lower 0.3-1% conversion rate may reflect users' unfamiliarity with available content rather than lack of interest.

2. Re-engage cities with declining traffic: Target outreach to cities showing significant engagement drops, particularly Naperville, Aurora, and Franklin Park.

3. Amplify high-performing content: Promote School & Education and Vital Records resources (18% and 10.5% conversion rates) through homepage popups or featured sections to drive continued engagement.

4. Expand downstate reach: Strategic outreach to downstate Illinois regions demonstrating need but lower current engagement levels.

5. Accessibility enhancement in progress: Site-wide accessibility improvements are underway and scheduled for completion by year end.
