Specialist handoffs that work: shared metrics, clear owners
SEO, PPC, and CRO fail each other when they speak different KPIs. Build handoffs on shared conversion metrics and colour-coded ownership.

Handoffs break when definitions diverge
“Traffic is up” is not a handoff. Neither is “ROAS looks fine.” A useful handoff names the URL, the conversion event, the channel evidence, the recommended lever, and the owner. That is the minimum unit Conversion Console is designed to produce.
Handoff checklist
Use this in Slack, tickets, or agency client notes.
Minimum viable specialist handoff
| Field | Healthy example |
|---|---|
| URL | /pricing/ (normalized path) |
| Conversion | generate_lead (stable GA4 key event) |
| Evidence | GSC demand ↑, CVR ↓, Clarity rage clicks on CTA |
| Lever | CRO — message match + form friction |
| Owner | CRO lead — due Friday |
| Do not | Media — pause uplift until CVR recovers |
Colour-coded ownership prevents turf wars
When opportunities are tagged SEO / paid / CRO from the same graph, meetings stop being status theatre. Media can still defend brand terms; SEO can still defend long-term demand — but both cite the same incremental logic.
