How can you:

- easily estimate website’s SEO?
- rate your search engine optimization consultant?
- gauge success of in-house search engine optimization employees?
- evaluate your search engine optimization business?

I am about to share with you 2 expert secrets to track SEO progress on the fly.

For a site marketer, data is the single most strong weapon. Three reasons why:

1. Data defines you as an search engine optimization.
If you don’t play s lot with information, neither clients nor the industry will take you seriously.

2. Information says you how well you are doing.
I am all about client feedback but first thing you got to do is root through your proper information to find your SEO strengths and weaknesses.

3. To a customer, 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 information, and you are halfway there.

If you take data as seriously as I do, and if you mine lots of it, chances are you are already heavily utilizing 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 framework for your company.

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 SEO SEO reporting software out there, you can monitor your SEO progress quickly and easy, just like thousands of search engine optimization professionals 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 customer and for the entire year the software sends out fresh 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 software reports convenient but they are also professionally styled and full of graphs so the design is one less headache I have to think about.

If you wonder what sorts of metrics are important in SEO reports, I’ve pinpointed three:

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

2. Link building data
- Number and quality of client inbound links
- Number and quality of link building partners
- Number and quality of competitor backlinks

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