CREATING VALUE FROM YOUR REPORT DATA

Top 5 Things Every Website Owner Should Know About Their Website Performance

  • Visibility and Search Performance

    Rankings are not as important as they used to be. With that said, rankings are still the most common requested metric to include in our clients’ reports because they are easy to understand and track as they go up and down. Relying only on rankings (which are subjective) fails to give you a full picture of your website’s prominence. This is why we also help you interpret your web analytics reporting so you can understand your website’s overall impressions, what groups/topics of keywords you are visible for, and how rankings translate to clicks.

  • Visitor Behavior and Web Vitals

    User experience (UX) plays a critical role in your website’s SEO results. As of May 2021, Google will start using “Page Experience” as a ranking factor, which essentially accounts for “all aspects of how users interact with a web page and how good or painful it is for them” (SearchEngineWatch.com). In order to win at SEO we must look at your website’s core web vitals including loading time, interactivity, and visual stability.

  • SEO Campaign Growth

    If you are investing in SEO or another Digital Marketing initiative like PPC, it is important to know how it is paying off. With site web analytics reports, we can track website data and design our custom client reports to monitor overall growth of the website and the strength of the campaign.

  • Data-Driven Strategy Moving Forward

    Most data analysts look at historical data and what has happened in the past. A proactive website owner will also use the data from web analytics reporting to guide future initiatives to achieve what they have set out to do. This may include adjusting activities or pursuing a new opportunity all together. Let’s use the data to inspire us to even greater results.

  • Website Health and Search Engine Perspective

    Website data should be used as a gauge of overall site health. This is why your web analytics reporting should include crawling issues, page load times, mobile issues, security issues, search performance, and more. You can think of these metrics as you would having your heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other core vitals monitored by your doctor.
