How to Measure Your SEO Return on Investment
You can make search engine optimization (SEO) as complicated or as easy as you want it to be. SEO isn’t an exact science, and there isn’t just one specific tool or method that will win every time.
SEO can be a major driver of online traffic and revenue for your business. Assuming you are making an effort to optimize your website, you need to put in place a measurable system to track your return on investment (ROI) from SEO.
The following checklist shows you how to effectively track your SEO ROI:
ROI (Return on Investment)
Look at how much you’re investing and what you are getting in return. SEO is about making a profit. However, you need to give it some time.
Compare the investment of one month with your profit 6 months down the road. Keep in mind your link building tactics. Link building is a result of ongoing marketing efforts, so it might take longer to see results. Remember that you are investing money today so you can make money in the future.
Leads and Sales
This is common sense. If you sell products/services on your site, measurement of leads and sales is an important metric that you’ll need to use in order to track your SEO ROI progress.
- What are your exact total sales as a result of your SEO efforts?
- How many sales have you made over a certain period of time?
A great tool to use to analyze this data is Google Analytics.
