There are as many different approaches to analyzing and interpreting data as there are CMOs in the world. You might prefer a high-level perspective — if your revenue is up and your bottom line is strong, all is well. Or perhaps you enjoy a deep dive into the numbers — going as granular as possible and constantly monitoring every single fluctuation, no matter how small.


Whatever your style, the one thing we can all agree on is that data-driven marketing is critical to success. But if you aren’t tracking the right metrics, you won’t find the insights you need to make informed decisions for your brand.


Finding and following those metrics is crucial in SEO, where you need to be ready to pivot and adapt your strategy if something isn’t working. Maybe you don’t have the time or interest in tracking every single possible metric. Or maybe you have a tendency to dig a little too deep and end up getting lost in a sea of data. So what KPIs should you be tracking? Let’s find out:

8 SEO KPIs YOU NEED TO BE TRACKING NOW…AND WHY [Infographic]
