How can you:

- quickly benchmark website’s search engine optimization?
- estimate your search engine optimization consultant?
- gauge success of in-house search engine optimization employees?
- evaluate your SEO business?

I am about to share with you 2 expert tips to track search engine optimization progress quickly.

For a site promoter, data is the single most powerful weapon. 3 reasons why:

1. Data defines you as an SEO.
If you don’t work hard with data, neither customers nor the industry will take you seriously.

2. Data tells you how well you are performing.
I am all about client feedback but first thing you got to do is root through your proper data to find your SEO strengths and weaknesses.

3. To a customer, data speaks louder than words.
How can a customer make sure you are actually getting work done? Data. Will a cheesy “How ya doin” phone call do? No. Management needs reports, daily, weekly, monthly… Share your information, and you are halfway there.

If you take data as seriously as I do, and if you mine lots of it, chances are you are already heavily using search engine optimization software. If not, now is a good time to start and set up a powerful data mining and search engine optimization reporting framework for your company.

I am all for automation in my business because the amount of websites I promote today simply doesn’t leave me any other option but to automate.
Plus, with the new generation of breakthrough SEO SEO Reporting tools out there, you can monitor your search engine optimization progress fast and easy, just like thousands of SEO marketers do across the globe.

Such software have killer email reporting systems built-in. I use them to set up an annual reporting schedule for each customer and for the entire year the tool sends out updated and personalized optimization reports to my customers as a follow-up and directly to your inbox for a quick review.
Not only are SEO software reports convenient but they are also good-looking and full of visuals so the design is one less headache I have to think about.

If you are interested what sorts of metrics are vital for search engine optimization reports, I’ve pinpointed three:

1. Keyword metrics:
- keyword rankings in targeted SEs
- historic rankings
- expected and current site visits by keyword
- keyword research metrics – competition, search volume etc.

2. Link building information
- Number and quality of customer inbound links
- Number and quality of link building partners
- Number and quality of competitor inbound links

3. On site and on page search engine optimization metrics
- Landing page and page element optimization stats
- Keyword density analysis for a keyword niche
- Site structure audit stats
