SEO is the process of improving the visibility and ranking of your website in the organic search listing on search engines.

• Organic results = Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• Listings on search engine results pages that appear because of their
relevance to the search terms. These are not advertisements.
• Paid results = Pay Per Click (PPC)
• Online advertisements that are used to direct relevant traffic to websites
to take part in a specific call-to-action or transaction.
Paid Ads + Organic Search captures new users

Set up Goals
• Define conversions for your business goals.
• Set your goal values.
• Analyze which keywords are leading
to more conversions and work to strengthen
them in your links and content.
Consider removing poor-performing, too general
keywords from your campaign.
• Observe where visitors abandon the goal path
and analyze the data to determine why
#wm123@TravisLowSEO
Analyze organic (non-paid) traffic and non-branded traffic leading to your site
4 Monitor branded vs. non-branded traffic
• This segment of traffic represents the current strength of your SEO efforts as
visitors land on your site from the results of organic search.
• Site visitors coming from non-branded traffic demonstrate the customer base
that is being led to your site directly from searches on the type of products or
services that your company offers.
#wm123@TravisLowSEO
Dig into the market trends to determine your strengths and focus on continually improving your position
4 Integrate analytics to measure ROI
• Compare your metrics to past data
• Observe possible seasonality factors
• Track your progress through non-paid, non-branded traffic trends
#wm123@TravisLowSEO
Understand how SEO, as a critical piece of online marketing, helps you to stay ahead of the rest.
4 Essential Takeaways

marketing mediums
• There are many tools that provide insight on your industry’s online search
behavior
