Chapter previews
- Chapter 01
Why UGC keeps escaping the P&L
Most teams report impressions; CFOs ignore impressions. We rebuild the conversation around four data surfaces that all roll up into revenue.
- Chapter 02
The four-quadrant model
Search (organic + paid + Google Shopping stars), Feedback (reviews + Q&A + NPS), Loyalty (repeat rate + LTV uplift), Engagement (CTR + dwell + ATC). Each gets a P&L proxy.
- Chapter 03
Five revenue patterns we see at scale
PDP lift, PLP lift, ad-CTR lift, organic-traffic lift from JSON-LD, email CTR lift. Median + p25/p75 for each.
- Chapter 04
Wiring the attribution
GA4 events, Klaviyo profile updates, Meta CAPI server-side. A reconciliation script that ties widget impressions to revenue without double-counting.
- Chapter 05
The CFO conversation
A two-slide deck template you can drop into your QBR. Includes objection-handling for the "isn't this just brand?" question.
- Chapter 06
Vertical calibrations
Beauty, fashion, jewellery, home + hospitality benchmarks — calibrated separately because PDP behaviour differs wildly.
“We went from defending the UGC line to expanding it. The four-quadrant model survives every QBR.”
