A system we built. The figures below are modelled at a representative scale rather than the client’s actual numbers, which are confidential — so you can substitute your own. How we build these numbers →
Challenge
Website owners and digital marketers struggle to predict traffic patterns across their multi-page websites, making it nearly impossible to plan content strategies, allocate marketing budgets, or prepare for server capacity needs. Without reliable traffic forecasting, businesses miss opportunities to capitalize on predicted surges and waste resources on unnecessary preparations during expected lulls.
Solution
Prototype traffic forecasting dashboard demonstrating advanced time series forecasting capabilities using sample Google Analytics data from 20 web pages. The interactive dashboard showcases how AI-powered forecasting algorithms can analyze historical traffic patterns and generate accurate 30-day predictions, providing a clear proof-of-concept for custom client implementations.
ROI
Worked at the scale of an e-commerce site with 500K monthly visitors on $2M annual revenue. Every figure comes from the inputs — swap them for yours and the outputs follow. How we build these numbers →
Inputs — what we assume about the business
| Assumption | Value |
|---|---|
| Monthly visitors | 500,000 |
| Annual revenue | $2M |
| Server capacity over-provisioned in quiet periods | $50K/year |
| Revenue lost to crashes during unforecast traffic spikes | $200K/year |
| Campaigns launched against the wrong traffic pattern | $30K/year |
| Ad spend lost to unpredictable content performance | $25K/year |
Outputs — what traffic forecasting changes
| Lever | Improvement | Arithmetic | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting costs | capacity right-sized, down 70% | 70% × $50K | $35K |
| Crash-driven revenue loss | scale ahead of forecast spikes | 75% × $200K | $150K |
| Campaign timing | launched into forecast demand | 67% × $30K | $20K |
| Wasted ad spend | content prioritised by forecast performance | 100% × $25K | $25K |
| Total annual impact | $230K |
This one is a prototype built on sample Analytics data from 20 pages, shown as a proof of concept — a production build integrates the GA API directly.
