Pro tips

SEO Measurement and Reporting Framework
  1. Create metric tiers: Develop “North Star” metrics that everyone tracks, supported by diagnostic metrics that explain performance changes. This prevents data overload while maintaining depth.
  2. Implement anomaly detection: Configure your reporting to automatically flag statistically significant changes rather than regular fluctuations, focusing attention on truly meaningful shifts.
  3. Always tie back to revenue: Even when reporting on technical SEO metrics like Core Web Vitals, create a pathway that shows how these improvements ultimately impact conversion rates and revenue.
  4. Incorporate voice of customer data: Enhance your SEO metrics by including customer feedback, support tickets, and sales team insights to provide context around what the numbers mean.
