Simple SEO Step 1. Proper Keyword Focus

Simple SEO Step 3. Proper SEO Performance Review

Now that you’ve tweaked it will they come?
You must evaluate your website performance to see how well your SEO efforts are paying off. And, you must reevaluate and tune your website to get the SEO results you desire.

We recommend using Google Analytics and Google Search Console to monitor your site's performance.

Google Analytics is a highly powerful tool that gives you insight into how people got to your site and how they behave on your site! Here is just a shortlist of what it can provide you:

• How many visitors are coming to your site?
• What keyword do they search for when they came to your website?
• What page do they enter your website on?
• How do visitors navigate your site?
• And the list goes on!

Google Search Console is a tool that gives you insight into how Google sees your site. It can provide you with information on:

• What keywords does Google see on your site – based on content?
• How frequently does your site show up in search results?
• How healthy your website is – Pages that no longer exist, Web server errors, Indexing errors, etc.?
• And tons more technical details!

Again, you will need to create a Google account to set up both Analytics and Search Console. But it's well worth the effort. You will also need to add Analytics and Search Console to your website! Happy tweaking!
