Basing SEO Success on Factors That Matter
Many small business owners question how they should measure the success of their search engine optimization, and unfortunately all too often these business owners are steered down a path to measure success based upon “keyword rankings” instead of better measurements of results achieved. As and end all metric, determining SEO success based upon keyword rankings is a dead indicator of performance. This is thanks largely due to Google changing the way results are presented to end users.
Keyword rankings are affected by Google based upon:
- End user personalization
- Area search is being performed (localization)
- Device type conducting the search
Understanding what factors the search engines use to rank businesses, and demonstrated results are key to choosing the right agency to help your business rank better on search engines like Google.
SEO & Internet Marketing - Measure What Matters
When thinking about SEO and internet marketing as a whole, what really is the end goal for most businesses? Most businesses looking to invest money into SEO and internet marketing are looking to grow revenues, so it makes sense that measuring the actions that produce revenue growth should be the Key Performance Indicators for success.
Growing Traffic as a Measurement of SEO Success
This seems pretty simple and straightforward when it comes to developing a solid online marketing strategy, but many times clients and SEO agencies get tunnel vision and focus on attaining rankings for only a few keywords to drive traffic. This strategy caps a clients online presence to these keywords only, and ultimately the client loses out on additional exposure from keywords that are related to their business, but has no exposure. Good SEO and Internet Marketing Agencies will help a business continually expand exposure and traffic online by targeting new and relevant keywords and keyword variations regularly.Increased Conversions as a Measurement of Internet Marketing Success
What good is a SEO campaign, or any campaign for that matter if it’s not bringing in measurable conversions? City Ranked focuses on using data to drive decisions when it comes to Conversion Rate Optimization, or CRO for short. Common examples of conversions are:- Phone Calls
