SEO Measurement
How to know if your company SEO is really working
SEO should be measured by more than positions. Rankings matter, but the real question is whether organic visibility is creating qualified traffic, enquiries and business opportunities.
What you should measure in SEO
- Organic traffic from relevant searches.
- Rankings for commercial and local keywords.
- Calls, forms, WhatsApp clicks and bookings.
- Pages that attract and convert users.
- Google Business Profile actions.
- Technical health and index coverage.
Avoid vanity metrics
More traffic is not always better. A company needs qualified traffic: people who match the service, location and commercial intent of the business.
Connect SEO with business results
SEO works when it improves visibility for relevant searches and those visits have a clear path to contact. Measurement should connect search data with real enquiries.
