OneSix growth playbook

Export the 87 addresses, map each to its closest live page (the 17 same-name pages first; old /results/ case studies to the matching /casestudies/ story; /partners/ to /strategic-partners/snowflake or the partners page; /software-solutions/ to the matching service), and add them as 301 redirects in Webflow. Then check Search Console for other 404s and ask Snowflake and other partners to update any listing that still links to the old Snowflake page.

Links earned over ten years (partner directories, social posts, press, client sites) keep their value only if they land on a live page. Each old link to the Snowflake or PE pages should now send buyers and search engines to the pages that sell OneSix's two biggest bets.

• Redirect chains slow pages

  Point each old address straight to the final onesix.ai page.

• A wrong match confuses visitors

  Send unmatched pages to the closest topic page, never all to the homepage.

• Old-address checkWe took the 290 onesixsolutions.com page addresses the Internet Archive saved as live since 2024 and requested each one (October 20, 2026). 203 reach a page; 87 end on a 404 at onesix.ai: 30 old /blog/<category>/<post>/ addresses, 30 /results/ case studies, 9 /partners/ pages, 7 /software-solutions/ pages and 4 /industries/ pages. 17 of the 87 have a page with the same name on the new site, for example /partners/snowflake/ (now /strategic-partners/snowflake) and /blog/artificial-intelligence/private-equity-ai-success/ (now /insights/private-equity-ai-success).Source
• Old-address checkThe private equity article was shared on X in September 2024 with the tracking campaign "Data & AI Strategy for Private Equity", linking to the /blog/artificial-intelligence/private-equity-ai-success/ address that now returns a 404; the old /results/private-equity-unifies-data/ case study also returns a 404, while its story lives on as /casestudies/private-equity-portfolio-insights.Source

Add a Private Equity card to the homepage block linking to the PE page and the workshop, and add PE (with the portfolio data-sharing case study) to the Snowflake page's deployment list. Use one proof point on each: the spa franchise's 15% lift in prospect sales.

Buyers scan the industry list to decide if a firm is for them; the newest offer should be in the places most visitors see.

• Dilutes the enterprise message

  Keep PE as one card among five, with its own proof.

Publish a redacted sample readout (a ranked use-case list, the impact and effort matrix and a one-page summary) as a viewable page, state a price range with the credit-back terms, and add a "run it across three portcos" option for firms. Keep the form short: firm, portco, sector and hold year.

A concrete sample and a price turn a vague offer into a budget line, and the credit-back makes the price feel safe.

• Price anchors too low

  Show a range and the full credit against the SOW.

Compress and resize images, lazy-load video below the fold, set longer cache lifetimes, and move non-essential tags in Tag Manager to fire after load. Re-test in PageSpeed.

Lighter pages hold up for buyers on weak connections at conferences and on phones, and lower the cost of the scripts the site already runs.

Pick the Snowflake regions and industry teams that match OneSix's verticals, run a monthly "what we shipped" briefing for their reps, give them a one-page per industry and the Quickstart offer, and register every deal.

Snowflake reps bring warm buyers with budget; regular briefings keep OneSix the partner they remember.

Turn the series into a short guide: what to do in years 1, 2-3 and 4-5 of a hold, with example use cases, costs and payback, and the workshop as the next step. Offer it on the PE page and in LinkedIn ads to operating partners.

A guide built around the hold period matches how PE firms plan, and gives the sales team a reason to reach out.

• Too generic

  Use OneSix's own examples and numbers.

Package three to five workshops for one firm with a cross-portfolio readout (the best use cases seen across the portcos, shared data needs, a shared roadmap). Approach mid-market PE firms in OneSix's sectors, starting with existing PE relationships.

One operating partner decision opens several portcos, and the cross-portfolio readout is something only a firm doing several workshops can offer.

Create a fixed-scope "BI reset": audit the top 20 dashboards, rebuild the shared data model on Snowflake, migrate the key reports, and train business users. Publish it as an accelerator page with a timeline and a starting price.

A fixed offer is easier to buy than open consulting, and BI is often the first project a Snowflake buyer funds.
