Q: How do I measure SEO success?

Tie SEO to business impact. Track organic sessions and conversions/revenue (GA4), search visibility and CTR (Google Search Console), strategic keyword rankings, engagement metrics, and backlink growth. Build dashboards that align with KPIs, and monitor trends over time rather than day-to-day noise.

Success in SEO isn’t just about rankings. The real measure is business impact.

Key metrics can include:

Organic traffic growth (use Google Analytics to measure).
Keyword rankings for strategic terms.
CTR (Click-Through Rate) improvements from optimized titles and meta descriptions.
Engagement metrics: Time on site, bounce rate.
Conversions & revenue from organic traffic.
Backlink growth & domain authority.

Use tools like Google Search Console, GA4, SEMrush, or Ahrefs. Finally remember, the goal is to link SEO performance to business KPIs (leads, sales, revenue), not just vanity metrics.
