Performance Evaluation

Metric Goal

If everything functions well, we should expect a growth in visits from search results of 25% within three months, roughly a growth from 4,000 to 5,000 clicks a day. After this initial period, it should be a matter of minor optimizations for us to catch up to the competition.
