SEO: On-site Optimisation
There are a number of “on-page” signals that search engines look
for when they visit a website.

– Content
– Page titles
– Page headings
– Structure
– Internal linking

Page relevance is key.



SEO: Off-site Optimisation
Although a lot can be gained by the search engines from looking at
a website itself, external links (or “backlinks”) are judged as being
the most important contributing factor for SEO.

SEO: Monitoring & Refining
Once a website is well optimised from a search engine point of
view and external presence has begun to increase, refinements
need to be made based on the data being monitored.

Finding what people search for
The great thing about search engine optimisation, is that you can
understand the terms and phrases that people actually search for
within the search engines.



Finding when they are searching
Not only can approximate search volumes be researched for a
limitless set of key phrases; trending data also allows us to
understand seasonality, topical popularity and more.

3. Measuring Traffic



Why measure traffic?
Whether you have an “optimised” website or not, monitoring the
traffic data is a must.

• Understanding the quantity of visitors
• Analysing visitor profiles
• Viewing popular content/pages
• Monitoring visitor intent



4. Google Analytics



Benefits of using Analytics

• Monitor goal conversions & e-commerce
• Monitor engagement (ie. time on site, bounce rate, etc)
• Setup customisable reports
• Advanced segmentation
• Visual charts

Plus, it’s very easy to install and use!

Custom Reports

Custom reports can be
setup to provide
dashboard-like
overviews of data that
you deem to be most
important for various
areas of your website.



So how does Analytics help?
Google Analytics provides actionable insights, such as:

• Which pages are not working (to convert)
• Where people are dropping out in the conversion process
• Which areas of the site have low engagement
• Which traffic sources provide the least value



What can you do with this data?
Once you’ve setup goals and basic reports, the data is then there
for you to use to improve your website.

Example: 1. Identify sections with low bounce
rate, and average time on page
(compared with others)
Low engagement 2. Analyse the sources of traffic
3. Consider things that can be done to
encourage engagement on the page
4. Implement the changes are monitor

Key Points
• SEO is an ongoing process, and there are no quick wins
• A combination of on-site & off-site optimisation are needed
• Use available data to actually see what people are searching for
• Measure as much data as you can (even if you don’t use it all)
• Use reporting options to monitor your KPIs
• Ensure you are always monitoring and refining

Finally...
Setup Google Analytics yourself (or ensure you have admin access)
