Now that SEOJuice has been working its magic for almost a week, it’s time to start looking at the data. In this section, we’ll focus on monitoring the impact SEOJuice is having on your website and how to analyze the early results. The goal here is to give you a clear view of what’s happening under the hood and start tracking progress, even if the bigger results will take more time to materialize.
You don’t need to be a data expert to follow along—just a few tools and some basic insights will do the trick. Let’s dive into how you can monitor your SEO performance effectively and how to use this data to guide your next steps.
Connect your search console to see how your clicks/impressions/ranking grows.
Setting Up Google Search Console
If you haven’t already, now is a great time to set up Google Search Console. This free tool from Google is essential for monitoring how your site performs in search results. It allows you to see how your site is indexed, which keywords are driving traffic, and any issues that might be holding you back.
Here’s a quick rundown on getting it set up:
- Connect Your Website: Go to Google Search Console and sign in with your Google account. You’ll need to add your website and verify ownership. Google offers a few ways to do this—either by adding a verification file to your site, using your domain provider, or through your Google Analytics account.
- Submit Your Sitemap: Once your site is verified, the first thing you’ll want to do is submit your sitemap.xml. This is a file that helps search engines understand the structure of your site and index your pages more efficiently. Most platforms, like WordPress or Shopify, will generate this for you automatically, and SEOJuice can help ensure it’s up-to-date.
- Check for Indexing Issues: After submitting your sitemap, head over to the Coverage section in Search Console. This is where you’ll see if Google is having trouble indexing any of your pages. If there are any errors, this is where you’ll catch them, and fixing these early can prevent bigger SEO problems down the road.
Analyzing Early Data
It’s important to manage your expectations when looking at early SEO data. SEO takes time to show significant results, especially when it comes to moving up in search rankings. However, you can start looking for some early indicators of success.
Here are a few things to keep an eye on in your first week:
- Impressions: These are the number of times your site appears in search results. Even if people aren’t clicking just yet, impressions give you an idea of how visible your site is becoming for different keywords. SEOJuice’s on-page optimizations will start affecting this number as Google begins to take note of your improved meta tags and content structure.
- Clicks: While it may be early, you might already start seeing some clicks from organic search results. Keep an eye on this number, especially for new content or recently optimized pages.
- Pages with High Potential: Look for any specific pages that are getting a lot of impressions but few clicks. This is a sign that people are seeing your content but not finding it compelling enough to click. You can tweak meta descriptions or titles to make those search results more appealing, which SEOJuice can help optimize automatically.
- Keywords: Search Console shows which queries are driving traffic to your site. Take note of keywords that are starting to rank higher and watch how they progress over time. SEOJuice’s internal linking and meta tag optimizations will help boost these rankings gradually.
Using Google Analytics
In addition to Search Console, Google Analytics is another powerful tool for tracking your website’s performance. If you haven’t set it up yet, now is a great time. While Search Console focuses on how your site appears in search results, Google Analytics gives you insights into what users do once they land on your site.
