How I do it

The process

  1. 1

    Objective

    Business goal SEO supports.

  2. 2

    Outcome metric

    The measurable result.

  3. 3

    Drivers

    Metrics that move the outcome.

  4. 4

    Diagnostics

    Metrics explaining changes.

Principles I follow
  • Choose one north-star outcome metric agreed with the business.
  • Set targets from baselines and competitor benchmarks.
  • Track leading indicators weekly, outcomes monthly.

Measurement

The numbers I watch

Tools I use

  • SCGoogle Search Console
  • G4Google Analytics (GA4)
  • LSGoogle Looker Studio

What you get

  • KPI tree
  • Target sheet
  • Dashboard specification
Traffic up, leads flat

Informational content grew traffic but not leads.

Add stage-appropriate CTAs and internal links to commercial pages; track assisted conversions.

Illustrative example
How many KPIs are too many?

If a metric wouldn't change a decision, it doesn't belong on the headline dashboard.
