Sample monthly client report · August 2026

Built around what Creative Noggin reports on

Paid search, email, digital display, and landing-page work for institutional and public-sector clients

Illustrative figures — not this company's data. Every number below is either labelled illustrative (invented, to show the format) or real (from Archer Scaling's own accounts, or a live run you can reproduce yourself). Nothing here was measured from Creative Noggin's systems, because we have no access to them.

Real: where you show up when a buyer asks an AI assistant Real

This one is not illustrative. It was actually run on 2026-09-08, and you can reproduce it in about thirty seconds.

The exact prompt, run against chatgpt_searchwhich agencies in Sacramento should we hire to run paid search and email campaigns for a public agency or nonprofit?

Creative Noggin — not named

Asked which Sacramento agencies to hire to run paid search and email campaigns for a public agency or nonprofit, ChatGPT (search) named four agencies — Hyper Pixel, MG Studio, BearStar Marketing, and Grewal Digital Marketing — and creativenoggin.com was not among them or in the citations.

Paste that same prompt in yourself and you will get your own version of this. That is the point — it is checkable, which is why it is the only thing on this page stated as fact about your business.

Illustrative: what moved and why

The narrative section a client actually reads. Generated from the same numbers above.

Paid search got cheaper because we cut, not because we bid better Illustrative

Cost per completed appointment request came down to $38. Nearly all of that is one change: the two broad-match ad groups running against generic "clinic near me" phrasing were paused on the 8th, and their budget moved to the three exact-match campaigns tied to named service lines. Request volume held steady through the switch. Left alone, the same spend would have bought about the same number of requests at July's price, so this is a targeting result rather than an auction one.

Email click-through dropped, and the cause is the list, not the copy Illustrative

Click-through fell to 4.1% from 5.3%. The subject-line test was not responsible — open rate barely moved. What changed is that the August send went to the full subscriber file instead of the engaged-in-90-days segment used in June and July, which pulled roughly 11,000 rarely-opening addresses back into the denominator. Same creative, wider audience, lower rate. Said plainly, because it cuts the other way too: the raw number of clicks went up.

The enrollment page moved because the form got shorter Illustrative

Conversion on the program enrollment page went from 5.9% to 6.8%. Three fields came off the form — fax number, preferred contact time, and how they heard about us — after the intake team confirmed the first two were never used downstream and the third is already answerable from the campaign source. Display CTR was flat at 0.34% across the same weeks and the traffic mix behind the page did not shift, which is what makes the form the variable worth pointing at.

Illustrative: what happens next month

September: rebuild the email segment before touching the creative Illustrative

Split the September send into the engaged-in-90-days segment and a separate reactivation stream for everyone else, then compare against the June and July baseline rather than August. That answers whether 5.3% was the true rate or the segment flattering us. No copy changes in the same month — one variable at a time, or next month's report says nothing either.

Pick the one number the dashboard leads with Illustrative

Six metrics of equal weight is a status update, not a decision. Before the quarterly review, settle which single figure this campaign is being judged on — completed appointment requests is the honest candidate, since it is the only one tied to a real intake action — and let the other five sit under it as supporting detail. Everything stays in the report. The lead just stops moving month to month.
