Assessing and Improving Keyword Performance on Your Website



Your keyword research results are not always accurate with reality. Although research shows good results, but it could be keywordnya performance is not satisfactory.

Website keyword performance assessments should be conducted regularly to produce optimal impact. Do not worry, not hard.


This is the fifth chapter of the keyword research guide series
This performance appraisal is especially for those of you who have been getting traffic steadily from search engines.

If you are a new website owner, this information may be useful after a few months. But there is no harm in studying this science now.

Since we will be using Google Analytics that is already associated with the Google Webmasters Tool, we recommend linking the two accounts with your website to get the data.

Read in detail the guide below because every step should not be skipped.
Google Analytics
Open your website account in Google Analytics and then go to the Acquisition> Search Engine Optimization> Queries menu. At the bottom right, change 'show rows' from 1 to 500.

After that export data in Excel format.

Analytics Queries

Open the file you just downloaded with Excel or Spreadsheet, then open a sheet named Dataset 1. Highlight row (line) 1 then enable filter from Data menu> Filter.

Keyword Planner
Open the Keyword Planner then from the Excel file it copies all the data in the Queries and paste columns in Google Keyword Planner according to the way in chapter 2.

Download data from GKP in CSV form.

Copy Avg data. Monthly Visit from this CSV and paste it into our first Excel file earlier in the far right blank column.

Impression performance
Add one more column on the far right with the title "Impression Performance". Enter the formula for this column Performance Impression = Impression / Avg. Monthly Visit. Copy down, ignore the error (#VALUE!).

This is your keyword performance. The closer to the number 1 means the better performance, while the smaller the number means the performance is less good and should be improved.

Sort Queries by Avg. Monthly Searches to set priorities.

CTR Performance (Click-Through Rate)
For different ranking positions in search engines, the standard CTR numbers also vary. A rank 1 position provides a higher CTR than position 2, and so on.

Advanced Web Ranking has created a graph showing the CTR numbers for each position.

5425a7d00c1cf2.22412899

This data is obtained through empirical testing. Position 1 roughly gets a CTR of 32% of desktop users and 30% of mobile users.

That is, if your website ranked first, 32% of people who search will visit your website.

Well, from the Excel file we can see the value of CTR for each keyword. Pay particular attention to keywords that the Average Position value is less than 5. Adjust the graph above.

If your CTR value is lower than the graph, it means your performance is not good.

Improve the performance of keywords
From Performance Impression, we can determine which keywords are potentially large but less optimized. While from Performance CTR we can judge whether the use of our title is good.

To improve the performance of impressions, you must improve SEO and the relevance of your website to the keyword. The way there are 2, first by improving the existing page so that the better in SEO. Second, by creating new content that is relevant to the keyword.

As for improving the performance of CTR you must replace the title (meta title) of the page that appears in the search results. Low CTR could be because you use a title that does not interest potential visitors.
