During Build
The Agency Playbook
Use BugHerd during builds for stakeholder feedback, visual annotations, and bug tracking—it has the deep PM integrations you need for project work. Then switch to Valerie post-launch for ongoing visitor feedback. Position Valerie as the "continuous UX monitoring service" that justifies ongoing retainers and demonstrates value beyond the initial project.

Report Generation Tips
Build Reports Efficiently
- Set up weekly email digests to capture ongoing insights
- Export page score data at month-end for trend charts
- Screenshot the AI theme summary for the Visitor Voice section
- Keep a running doc of "interesting feedback" throughout the month
- Create a template once, then just update numbers each month
Presenting to Clients
- 1Lead with wins—show the improvement, not just the problem
- 2Frame issues as opportunities: "Here's how to capture $X more"
- 3Include 1-2 positive visitor quotes to balance criticism
- 4End every section with a clear action item
- 5Compare to previous months to show progress over time
Client Communication Tip
Don't wait for the monthly report to share value. Send a quick email when you spot interesting feedback: "Just saw this visitor comment—thought you'd want to know." This keeps clients engaged and seeing ongoing value from the service.

How to Introduce to Existing Clients
For clients with recent projects:
"Now that your new site is live, you're going to start getting real visitor traffic. I'd like to set up ongoing feedback monitoring so we can catch any issues quickly and keep improving the experience based on what real users tell us."
For clients on maintenance retainers:
"Right now we're maintaining your site reactively. I want to add proactive UX monitoring—we'll collect feedback from your actual visitors and use it to guide improvements. This makes our work more strategic and data-driven."
Selling Points by Client Objection
"We already have Google Analytics"
"Analytics shows you what happened—40% bounced from pricing. Feedback tells you why— they couldn't understand the tier differences. Both are needed for real optimization."
"Our site is already performing well"
"Great—that means you have traffic worth learning from. Even high-performing sites leave 30-40% on the table. Continuous feedback helps you capture more of that opportunity."
"What's the ROI?"
"If we catch one issue that saves 10 sales/month at your $150 AOV, that's $1,500/month— likely more than the retainer. Most clients find 3-5 actionable issues in month one alone."
"Can't we just do this ourselves?"
"You could, but it requires weekly attention to review feedback, spot patterns, and prioritize fixes. We handle that so you can focus on running your business."
