Search engine optimization (SEO) is a powerful content marketing strategy that businesses can use to expand their reach and bring in audiences searching for specific keywords. And if their sites provide timely, helpful answers to their audience’s problems and questions, businesses can build trust and relationships — which turn into revenue. But if your agency wants to deliver ongoing SEO success for its clients, you have to consistently track the right SEO KPIs across every SEO campaign.
Keywords aren’t exactly king in content marketing — but they do make a huge difference in how well your content performs. Consider this: According to a search traffic study from Ahrefs, 90.63% of all content gets no traffic whatsoever from Google. Zip, zero, zilch, nada. Meanwhile, keywords are a big part of what drives organic search traffic.
Just when you think you’ve got Google’s algorithm all figured out, bam: another update. It’s the song that never ends, and agencies that want their clients’ websites to perform well have to stay on top of it. Site audits are one of the best ways to do exactly that. Regular site audits can help you identify red flags and potential problems within your client’s site that could result in lower search engine rankings.
Meta descriptions, content marketing, link building, analytics; there are dozens of factors that go into building successful SEO strategies for your clients that get results. Luckily, gone are the days of handling all of these many, many factors manually. There are a ton of tools on the market designed to help your agency create effective SEO strategies that get search engines to notice your client’s website — and rank it higher in search engine results pages (SERPs).
