How can you:

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

I am about to share with you 2 expert secrets to track SEO progress quickly.

For a Internet optimizer, data is the single most effective tool. 3 reasons why:

1. Data defines you as an search engine optimization.
If you don’t play hard with data, neither customers nor the industry will take you seriously.

2. Information tells you how well you are performing.
I am all about customer feedback but first thing you got to do is root through your proper information to get your search engine optimization strengths and weaknesses.

3. To a client, data speaks louder than words.
How can a client make sure you are actually getting work done? Data. Will a cheesy “How ya doin” phone call do? No. Management needs reports, daily, weekly, monthly… Share your data, 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 business because the amount of sites I optimize today simply doesn’t leave me any other option but to automate.
Plus, with the new generation of breakthrough search engine optimization SEO Reporting tools 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 clients as a follow-up and directly to your inbox for a quick review.
Not only are search engine optimization apps reports convenient but they are also good-looking 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 reports, I’ve pinpointed 3:

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

2. Link building information
- Number and quality of client backlinks
- Number and quality of link building partners
- Number and quality of competitor backlinks

3. On site and on page search engine optimization metrics
- Landing page and page element optimization statistics
- Keyword density analysis for a keyword niche
- Site structure analisys data
