Lots of chatter out there in recent years about SEO being dead and that SEO is on the outs. Well that topic is debatable but one thing is for sure, SEO is definitely undergoing a metamorphosis.

For example, given your industry, it’s likely that your business has multiple locations throughout the province/state or even nationwide. Optimizing specific pages on your site for locations will mean that when people search for “Insurance your town” that page is more likely to appear in the results.

In a slightly simplified manner there are really three areas of measurement that directly measure organic search/SEO performance:

  2. Engagement – that is how people are interacting with your content after arriving on the site.
  3. Conversion/Goals – consider this the “endgame” that is the action that you want the user to take after and upon visiting your website? Are you looking for them to register for a newsletter, make a purchase, call a call center or download a PDF?
