Digital outreach quality (SEO, reply time)
Evaluating the quality, accessibility, and effectiveness of the organization's digital outreach, this metric examines technical website optimization (SEO), compliance with data/accessibility laws, and a disciplined, human-centered approach to handling online inquiries (responsiveness and tone). Rooted in the principle of ihsan (excellence), effective digital communication reflects husn al-khuluq (good character) in public engagement. Providing timely and courteous responses fulfills the amanah (trust) of community service, ensuring outreach is conducted with wisdom.
| Metric | Median First Response Time (Business Hours) |
|---|---|
| Target | < 24 hours (Level 4), < 8 hours (Level 5) |
| Frequency | Monthly |
| Method | Time from inquiry receipt to first human response (excluding auto-ack), measured during published business hours. |
| Unit | Hours |
Level 1: Initial/Ad-hoc
Digital presence is ad-hoc. No defined process for inquiries; responses are sporadic or missed. Website may be outdated, insecure, or inaccessible. No SEO or compliance checks.
Level 2: Developing
Basic digital presence. Inquiries are handled informally by individuals without targets. Basic on-page SEO is attempted. Some compliance gaps exist (e.g., missing privacy notice or cookie banner).
Level 3: Established
Defined process exists. SLA (e.g., acknowledge <1 day, resolve <2 days) is documented and generally met. Basic SEO baseline (sitemap, meta tags) and privacy compliance are in place. Inquiries are logged manually.
Level 4: Advanced
Data-driven and Proficient. Ticketing system manages inquiries with a median first response <24 business hours. SEO is actively managed. Website meets WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility. Safeguarding triage is active.
Level 5: Optimizing
Excellence (Iḥsān). Proactive content strategy anticipates needs (Tabshīr). Response system is integrated and rapid (<8 business hours). Full accessibility and compliance. Feedback loops drive continuous improvement.
Organisation Types
By Organisation Size

|---|---|---|
| Micro | exempt | Formal SLAs, 2-hour triage, and WCAG 2.2 AA audits are disproportionate for volunteer-run groups without dedicated admin staff. |
| Small | partial | Basic response targets and accessibility apply, but strict 2-hour triage and formal WCAG audits are too resource-intensive. |
| Medium | partial | Can implement SLAs and accessibility plans, but 2-hour urgent triage may need extending depending on dedicated admin capacity. |
| Large | full | |
| Major | full |
