One fix, the missing article element

A branded HCP site on AEM Edge Delivery Services.

The Optimize module in Launch Studio crawled the page and found four SEO findings and eleven GEO findings.

One click, Send to Plans, turned the fifteen findings into nineteen tasks with a definition of done on each. Nobody wrote a ticket.

How to read the comparison. Each stage below shows Launch Studio on top, as recorded. The conventional stack sits in a drawer under it: a hover or tap pulls out the people, tools, hands-on time and cost the same stage takes with Profound, a crawler audit, GitHub, a developer driving Claude Code and Edge Delivery.

The other fourteen issues, extrapolated

Estimates for the conventional column, issue by issue. Six of the fifteen are code changes; nine are content changes. Client approval and regulatory review are left out of both columns, since they are the same step whichever way the work is done. Hands-on hours include writing or development, review, QA and the producer's coordination. Where Flight gave a number in the session, the Launch Studio column uses it: the three remaining Content Structure tasks were estimated at 15 to 20, 30 to 40 and 20 to 30 minutes, plus 10 to 15 for the group's QA, 75 to 105 minutes in all with nobody waiting on the user.

With Launch StudioCode items close in one afternoon; content items in the time it takes a writer to review drafts.

Conventional figures are estimates; Launch Studio times are from the session recorded 25 Sep 2026. Costs use staffing-chart rates ($94/hr blended; operator at $115/hr). Client approval and MLR take the same time in both. Faded figures are roles involved only sometimes.
