Data Driven SEO Answers The Question: Are My SEO Efforts Working?
Data Driven SEO Metrics
Leads/Revenue
The top SEO metric we measure for our clients is conversions – either an increase in leads and/or revenue.
Clients have hired Braveheart Digital Marketing since 2000 because we generate business results. Business owners we work with never ask us about search engine rankings. Instead they are focused on whether they are getting more leads or phone calls than before they hired us.
Revenue Per Visitor
Related to conversions, another metric that we follow closely is revenue per website visitor. What is the value of each website visitor from Google? Does it make more, or less, visitors to create a conversion than it did last month, last quarter and last year?
We find this to be a really useful metric for three reasons. One is that when it comes to approving SEO recommendations, implementation happens much quicker when you can show a projected $10,000+ increase in monthly revenue from a website change.
Second, is that revenue per visitor provides a holistic viewpoint of the performance of all marketing channels.
By using a data driven metric like this, we can compare the effectiveness of the different marketing campaigns that are in market and identify the best performing ones.
Third, is that our SEO efforts are focused on driving not just anybody to your website, but bringing someone to your website who is interested in your product/service. By tracking revenue per visitor we can ensure that our SEO efforts and your business goals are aligned.
Growth In Organic Traffic
Expected Traffic Per Page
The only keyword related metric we look at is expected traffic by page. Using Google Search Console Data and CTR data, we can model the expected search traffic that each page should generate based on the sum of the keywords that page is ranking for. Did the page get more or less search traffic than expected?
Our SEO team uses this data to prioritize what pages to work on with the highest priority going to the pages that are getting less traffic than expected based on their ranking.
