Activity Tracking To Improve Visitor Metrics. Good rankings on Google are only part of the story and we should track the traffic (visitors) that are generated from the search results to the website, and through to goal completion. This can all be set up in Google analytics and we can really drill down and see what is working and what is not and use that information as part of our ongoing strategy. Conversion rates for specific search terms and the bounce rates for specific keyphrases can be measured. Bounce rates for individual pages needs to be optimal. Google of course measures traffic clicking from the search results to any website. Google can also see that traffic returning. Too much returning of traffic from a page means a high bounce rate and as Google ideally doesn’t want people returning to the results, this can potentially affect our rankings.

Need More Info About SEO & What We Do?
SEO is a lot more complicated than it used to be. Or is it? It’s harder, for sure. Google is now placing a lot more emphasis on the authority of websites as influenced by:
- Content quality and update freshness are essential
- Link profiles – who’s linking to you and who’s linking to them. It has to be natural
- Visitor activity on your website – good retention times/low bounce rates are required.
- Technical aspects of websites such as page load speed and website uptime have to be looked at
- Social signals – sharing and mentions in social media DO have some influence
Consequently SEO as it was (based around link building) is being replaced by more of a “website optimisation” approach where we must consider and a number of aspects of your website activity.
We advise and consult on all areas of your websites optimisation for search, including:
- Keyword research – identify the valuable search terms that your target market uses to find your products or services
- Competitor analysis – what is working for them and how are you placed in comparison
- Full onsite optimisation – keywords that are supported are optimised into your website and lots of other onsite factors have to be addressed
- Regular quality content updates – generally a blog, articles or news facility on your website is required for this
- Quality, natural, link building – where can you contribute your valuable insights?
- Social media usage – your own channels and making sure people can share your content
- Local optimisation – get found in the Maps
- Video/mobile optimisation – increasingly becoming important
- Full analysis and tracking of organic traffic activity from search through to goal, with your sales funnel as the basis

More Detailed Information
Mobile Friendliness
This is growing in importance. We need to actively monitor the performance of our website on mobile and smart devices. Google Analytics will tell us what the differences in visitor activity are between our visitors whom arrive from a mobile device versus a desktop.
Google Updates
Google Search Results
We need to ensure that we are maximizing our presence in the Google Plus Local search results (the old Google Places) and that we are utilizing video if possible. If using Adwords we need to track that traffic and consolidate it against our performance in the Organic (free) results.
Targeted Search Terms
Success on Google is still focused around search terms – the search engine is based around it, and we need to ensure our onsite optimisation still reflects this: important search terms still need to be featured appropriately in the pages. But of course we still need to ensure that this onsite optimisation is complementary to our focus on providing quality content that keeps bounce rates down. So there are limits as to how many search terms we can put into any one page: if we want more then we need to create more content to support those, and once again, the blog can be the ideal medium for this. Search terms that we target must be relevant and have a measurable search volume i.e. people must actually use them in real searches. Google provides a tool to tell us this so we really can target our activities around good value, visitor generating phrases.
