SEO: On-site OptimisationThere are a number of “on-page” signals that search engines look for when they visit a website.

– Content– Page titles– Page headings– Structure– Internal linking

Page relevance is key.




SEO: Off-site OptimisationAlthough a lot can be gained by the search engines from looking at a website itself, external links (or “backlinks”) are judged as being the most important contributing factor for SEO.

2. Targeting




Finding what people search forThe great thing about search engine optimisation, is that you can understand the terms and phrases that people actually search for within the search engines.




Finding when they are searchingNot only can approximate search volumes be researched for a limitless set of key phrases; trending data also allows us to understand seasonality, topical popularity and more.

Applying this knowledgeThe insights gained from this keyword analysis can be invaluable in terms of targeting people on your website.

Retrofitting the keyword optimisation to each of the most

relevant pages across the website.

Developing new content pages specifically around the keyword opportunities from the insights

gained.

Custom Reports

Custom reports can be setup to provide dashboard-like overviews of data that you deem to be most important for various areas of your website.




So how does Analytics help?Google Analytics provides actionable insights, such as:

• Which pages are not working (to convert)• Where people are dropping out in the conversion process• Which areas of the site have low engagement• Which traffic sources provide the least value




What can you do with this data?Once you’ve setup goals and basic reports, the data is then there for you to use to improve your website.

Example:

Low engagement


1. Identify sections with low bounce rate, and average time on page (compared with others)

2. Analyse the sources of traffic3. Consider things that can be done to

encourage engagement on the page4. Implement the changes are monitor

Analytics to see the affect



Key Points• SEO is an ongoing process, and there are no quick wins• A combination of on-site & off-site optimisation are needed• Use available data to actually see what people are searching for• Measure as much data as you can (even if you don’t use it all)• Use reporting options to monitor your KPIs• Ensure you are always monitoring and refining

Finally...Setup Google Analytics yourself (or ensure you have admin access)
