Search Discovery has positioned itself to assist clients looking to harness insights that drive continuous improvement of business outcomes, customer lifetime value, and brand loyalty through end-to-end optimization and personalization program design and support.

"Anyone can 'do' A/B testing. It takes something more to truly optimize," says Wortham. "One of the reasons I am excited to have joined Search Discovery is because the company truly understands the importance of data-driven optimization. We focus on helping brands optimize the relationships they have with their customers using the best tools available, from analytics to testing to voice of customer." Hall agrees. "A true optimization program does not actually test everything; it optimizes everything using strategic prioritization to decide when to test, when to fix, and when to dig a little deeper and get more data."
