B&J case study — visual assets needed, confidentiality unknowns, method appendix
Created 2026-05-24
Visual assets needed
[Our observation throughout this section.]
For the case study layout, candidate screenshots in priority order:
- Homepage — the brand-defining surface
- An agriculture vertical page with its OEM crosswalk and decision framework — shows depth and craft
- A
/resources/long-form article (recommendcoloured-diesel-and-ontario-lawortssa-mobile-fueling-licence-2026) — shows editorial voice and regulatory-citation discipline - A
/locations/city page (recommend/locations/londonor/locations/waterloo) — shows local-business depth - A future Manifold widget (the "What's in a litre" tax-stack card) — shows the data-platform layer
Mobile and desktop captures of each. Plus:
- B&J logo files [Available in project — see
BOUCHERJONES_AD.pdffor the current brand mark] - Brand colour reference [Available in repo
globals.css @themeblock — needs to be exported] - Architecture diagram showing marketing site / CRM / Manifold / lubricants catalog as one platform with shared design system [To be created]
Confidentiality and approval
[All Unknown — these are conversations that need to happen with Michael.]
- What's off-limits (pricing, customer names, specific revenue figures)? [Unknown]
- Who at B&J approves the published case study? [Likely Michael DeLeye, but to be confirmed]
- Comfortable being the first published case study on
candidcreative.ca? [Unknown]
The method appendix (for the bottom of the case study page)
What we can honestly say we measured and how:
| Metric | Tool | Window |
|---|---|---|
| Page inventory (old vs. new) | Manual crawl + sitemap registry export | Pre-launch audit, May 2026 |
| Technical SEO (titles, descriptions, canonicals, OG, headings) | Markdown extraction of 13 representative pages | Pre-launch audit, May 2026 |
| Content quality / voice / regulatory citation density | Structural audit by senior editor (Kevin) | Pre-launch audit, May 2026 |
| Schema gaps | JSON-LD search across extracted pages | Pre-launch audit, May 2026 |
| Lubricants ingest entity counts | Direct query of Manifold database | Roadmap v2.1, May 2026 |
What we explicitly did not measure (and should disclose):
- Lighthouse / Core Web Vitals — pending
- Operational deltas (quote turnaround, hours saved, spreadsheets eliminated) — pending, because the CRM tools that would change these workflows are not yet shipped
- Lead volume / revenue / business outcomes — pending, because the site has not had a production cutover from WordPress
