Adaptive SEO Scoring With Thompson Sampling

Beyond Static SEO Rules

Traditional SEO tools apply the same rules to every page. Title tag under 60 chars. Meta description under 155 chars. Keyword density between 1-3%.

CRO9 is different. It learns what works for your specific content, audience, and niche — then adapts.

The 6 Action Buckets

CRO9 classifies every ranking opportunity into one of 6 buckets:

| Bucket | Condition | Action | |---|---|---| | CTR_FIX | Good position, low CTR | Rewrite title + meta | | STRIKING_DISTANCE | Position 11-20, rising | Push content, add schema | | RELEVANCE_REBUILD | Dropping position | Major content refresh | | POSITION_CLIMB | Position 4-10, stable | Internal links + freshness | | SCHEMA_UPGRADE | Missing structured data | Add JSON-LD | | THIN_CONTENT | Low word count, high bounce | Expand with real value |

Thompson Sampling

For each bucket, CRO9 routes the content generation task to one of 4 AI models: Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, or Llama. But it doesn't pick randomly — it uses Thompson Sampling.

Thompson Sampling is a Bayesian algorithm that balances exploration (trying different models) with exploitation (using the model that performs best). It is the same algorithm Netflix uses for recommendations and Google uses for ad optimization.

How it works:
  • Each model has a Beta distribution of success/failure
  • For each task, sample from each model's distribution
  • Pick the model with the highest sample
  • After execution, update the distribution based on the result
  • Over time, the system converges on the best model for each action type — while still occasionally exploring alternatives in case something has changed.

    Adaptive Weights

    CRO9 also learns which scoring factors matter most for your site:

  • Impressions weight: How much does search volume matter?
  • Position weight: How much does current ranking matter?
  • CTR gap weight: How much does the gap between expected and actual CTR matter?
  • Conversion weight: How much do conversions factor in?
  • Freshness weight: How much does content age matter?
  • These weights start equal and adjust based on which factors best predict ranking improvements.
