Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We used RankScience for SEO A/B testing and found a few big winners that were impressive but ran out of things to test after about a year. My understanding is they're focused more on NLP Content Optimization software now.

Thanks for the additional input Everett, we've done what we can to mitigate consumer clicks, but the search patterns and intent are so similar it's nearly impossible to weed out unqualified visits.

Just make certain your http > https redirect is a 301, not a 302 (A lot of the examples on the web for this redirects are actually wrong in this regard). A 302 will make it difficult to get the old URLs to drop out of the index.

This is exactly the solution I've been after. Your input and walk-thru is much appreciated!

Thanks so much for reporting back! Nonetheless, the responses here helped strengthen my case that on-site elements like this should not exists solely for bots, so I'm making headway!
