Why Fordel's "PDF Strategy"
is Costing €180k in Annual Recurring Revenue
An analysis of Fordel's 2026 Market Outlook reveals how locking high-value proprietary data inside a PDF is causing the firm to miss approximately 1,000 high-net-worth visitors per month—and a six-figure revenue stream.
The research in Fordel's 2026 Market Outlook is world-class. The analysis on the "Orderly AI Sell-Off" and the specific breakdown of US vs. Euro currency risks is significantly better than the generic advice currently ranking on Google.
But there is a major problem: this incredible data is locked inside a non-indexed PDF. To Google, your high-value tables are essentially invisible. When potential clients search for the exact answers you have provided, they aren't finding you—they are finding CNBC and Reuters.

The core value of your report lies in its proprietary data tables. Specifically, the consensus table of 2026 S&P 500 Targets from major banks.
Because this data is trapped in an image-based PDF format, you are missing out on the #1 "Featured Snippet" spot for high-intent search terms. When a nervous investor searches for "major bank S&P 500 targets 2026," they should find Fordel's authoritative analysis—but instead, they find aggregated news articles that lack your unique Irish/Euro perspective.
We ran an SEO audit on the document to quantify exactly what this "PDF Strategy" is costing the firm. The results were surprising.

We identified 5 specific keywords that Fordel could rank for immediately if this content were published as an HTML article:

|---|---|---|
| Major banks S&P 500 targets 2026 | 400 visits | Users want a clean data table. You have the unique consensus data. |

The ROI Calculation: The Cost of Being Invisible
What is a PDF worth? In this case, it's costing a fortune. We modeled the potential business impact if just these 3-5 pages of content were properly optimized to capture the high-intent traffic listed above.
~1,000 targeted visitors/month × 2.0% conversion rate (standard for high-intent financial data inquiries) = 20 qualified inquiries/month × 15% close rate (conservative) = ~3 new HNW clients/month × €500k average portfolio = €18M new AUM/year
Proof of Concept: The Content You Should Have Published
To prove how effective this strategy is, we took one single table from your PDF (Page 7) and formatted it correctly for Google.
If you published the table below as an HTML blog post titled "Wall Street's 2026 Targets for Irish Investors," you would likely steal the top ranking from international news sites because you add the critical "Euro Currency Context" that they miss.
| Bank / Institution | 2026 Target | Implied Upside (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Deutsche Bank | 8,000 | 17.2% |
| Morgan Stanley | 7,800 | 14.2% |
| Goldman Sachs | 7,500 | 9.8% |
| JP Morgan | 7,400 | 8.4% |
| UBS | 7,200 | 5.5% |
| AVERAGE CONSENSUS | 7,600 | 11.4% |

Conclusion
Fordel has already done the hard work. The research is written. The data is compiled. The expertise is undeniable.
By simply keeping this intellectual property locked in a PDF format, the firm is effectively choosing to ignore a six-figure revenue stream. The fix is not "more marketing" or expensive ads—it is simply unlocking the content you already possess.
