Let's say you want to test a new title. You collect stats for a week, change the title, collect stats for another week. The two datasets are then compared. Am I close?
Does it mean that you can't AB test in parallel? If so, it's not optimal for time sensitive stuff like breaking news.
It seems like you integrate with the likes of Google (Webmaster Tools) and Cloudflare in ways not done before, so my assumptions here are probably a bit outdated.

Depending on how many pages you have, we can run many tests in parallel.
What are some of the specific types of automated tests that you run?

We don't run experiments on a single page, but instead run them across groups of similar pages. The easiest way to think about this is running a test across a "product" template on an e-commerce site. A site could have thousands of product pages, but they're all on the same template.

Also what do you consider success? what if one title/meta combo gets a better rank but fewer clicks(ie; the bots like it but the users dont)? which one would you keep? I know many people like to brag about how many rankings they have but as an SEO for over a decade, i think traffic count is still king. in that id rather rank 11th for an extremely high volume term, then rank 2nd for a low volume one.
another thought... a blackhat site gets banned halfway through one of your tests and you move up based on no actions you took. thus you would get a false positive, no?

What's the minimum amount of traffic to benefit from this offering. At what point should a startup seriously consider working with you
I consult with startups and tech companies (recently: SurveyMonkey) on SEO, so this is super-interesting... especially the automated aspect, which is pretty novel in this space. What are some of the specific types of automated tests that you run?
* CTR on titles/meta descriptions * Any HTML changes * Design changes * Time on site
