The SEO KPIs worth tracking
Prioritise outcome KPIs: organic traffic, organic conversions and revenue, and keyword rankings for commercial terms. Support them with diagnostic metrics like impressions, CTR, average position, indexed pages, and backlinks. Vanity metrics (raw rankings with no traffic) can mislead - always connect KPIs back to leads and revenue.
Pro tip
Beware vanity metrics. A keyword ranking #1 with no traffic matters less than a #6 ranking that drives leads - always tie KPIs back to revenue.
