How can you:

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

I am about to share with you 2 expert secrets to track search engine optimization progress on the fly.

For a site optimizer, data is the single most strong weapon. Three reasons why:

1. Data defines you as an SEO.
If you don’t play s lot with information, neither clients nor the industry will take you seriously.

2. Information says you how well you are doing.
I am all about customer feedback but first thing you got to do is root through your own information to find your search engine optimization strengths and weaknesses.

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

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

I am all for automation in my firm because the amount of sites I promote today simply doesn’t leave me any other option but to automate.
Plus, with the new generation of breakthrough SEO SEO reporting software out there, you can keep track of your SEO progress fast and easy, just like thousands of SEO marketers do around the world.

Such tools have killer email reporting systems built-in. I use them to set up an annual reporting schedule for each client 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 application reports convenient but they are also professionally styled and full of graphs so the design is one less headache I have to think about.

If you are interested what sorts of metrics are important in SEO report, I’ve pinpointed three:

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

2. Link building metrics
- Number and quality of customer backlinks
- 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 analisys data
