Questions to carry into a 2027 search plan
This is a planning worksheet for the coming year, not a report of events or outcomes that have not happened.
What changed in the customer journey?
List the surfaces customers actually use and the evidence for that observation. Separate a vendor prediction from a behavior your business has measured.
What is the website still getting wrong?
Review offer clarity, source quality, page usability and contact handling. New interfaces do not make an inaccurate service description or a broken inquiry path less important.
What would change the plan?
Choose review dates and evidence thresholds before committing to more tools or content. Record the assumptions that remain uncertain and the person responsible for checking them.
