Are you operating a website blinder than a bat? If you haven’t created a Search Console and Google Analytics account, you are! Data, data, data… You need it so you can see what is going on with your site.
Did you know that Google actually tells you exactly where you are which reveals where you aren’t! Search Console actually tells you the exact keyword phrase, click through rate and what your position is for every ranking keyword phrase up to page 100!
Knowing this allows you to modify the ranking page so that your position is increased.
In other words… I might be search result number 32 for some keyword phrase. If I add that exact phrase to any header tag in the currently ranking page I will over night jump up in the search results for that phrase. I could then create a piece of content or create a link back in that phrase for an even bigger jump!
If you’re SEO guy doesn’t have this set up he’s full of shit! You cannot optimize a website without knowing this data! Keep reading and see why?
