Recommended Actions

Develop and index technical documentation specifically targeting 'Enterprise CMS Reliability' and 'Performance' keywords.

Pantheon was not mentioned in this category despite being an enterprise platform; this is a clear vacancy that competitors are currently filling.

Impact: High

Optimize site architecture and content for Google's AI Overviews to improve the current 40% mention rate.

AI Overviews currently show Pantheon at a #1.8 average position when mentioned, meaning visibility is elite when it occurs but occurs too infrequently.

Impact: High

Create persona-specific landing pages for 'Scaling SaaS Marketing' leaders that focus on speed-to-market and agility.

This persona is Pantheon's weakest segment at 45% visibility, representing a significant untapped market for the WebOps value proposition.

Impact: Medium

Synthesize Higher Ed success stories into structured data to reinforce the 69% visibility in that vertical.

The brand already has strong momentum in Higher Ed; codifying this success ensures it remains the default recommendation as LLM training sets evolve.

Impact: Medium
