SayPro Monthly March SCMR-5 SayPro Monthly Classified URL Structure: Use clean and descriptive URLs for ad listings by SayPro Classified Office under SayPro Marketing Royalty

Quarterly Target Overview

Primary Objective:
Reduce the bounce rate by 5% across all optimized classified ad pages on the SayPro platform through strategic implementation of clean and descriptive URL structures, as per guidelines outlined in SCMR-5 from March 2025.

---

📊 Background and Rationale

In March 2025, SayPro initiated the SCMR-5 (SayPro Monthly Classified URL Structure) project under the SayPro Marketing Royalty program. This strategy emphasized clean, descriptive URLs to enhance user experience and search engine optimization. As a continuation and measurable goal of this initiative, the following quarterly target has been set:

“Achieve a 5% reduction in bounce rate for all classified ad pages that have been optimized according to the new URL structure protocols implemented in March 2025.”

The decision stems from analytics showing that bounce rate is highly influenced by first impressions, and cluttered or cryptic URLs often contribute to user confusion and early exits. This target aligns with broader business goals of increasing engagement and improving ad visibility.

⚙️ Implementation Strategy

1. URL Optimization Rollout (March 2025)

• Ensure 100% migration of classified ad URLs to the new clean format:
  Example:
  • Old: www.saypro.org/classifieds/view.php?id=274829
  • New: www.saypro.org/classifieds/jobs/remote-web-developer-cape-town-274829
• Include category, keyword, and location identifiers in each URL.

2. Content Matching & Relevance Tuning

• Align meta titles and page content with keywords used in the URL.
• Enhance landing page structure with clear calls-to-action and visual hierarchy.

3. Monitoring and A/B Testing (April–May 2025)

• Implement Google Optimize or equivalent A/B testing tools to compare bounce rates between old vs. new URL formats.
• Track average time on page and click-through rate alongside bounce rate to better understand behavioral changes.

4. Analytics and Reporting

• Weekly bounce rate reports filtered by:
  • URL structure (legacy vs. optimized)
  • Category (Jobs, Services, Announcements, etc.)
  • Source of traffic (organic, paid, direct)
• Monthly presentations to SayPro Marketing Royalty highlighting performance.
