Search engine optimization is a process that aims to drive greater traffic to a particular
website by having it rank on the search engine results pages. The ultimate goal is to get
consumers to fill out a form, buy a product, or at least download a brochure.
While improving quality traffic is beneficial, it typically does not result in more sales. To
improve client revenue effectively, conversion optimization is a brand’s best bet. Local SEOs
can optimize every element of a site, but if users do not convert, efforts are not as valuable.
Therefore, the close correlation between conversion optimization and SEO works together to
turn visitors into customers.
Improving Conversion through SEO
Improving conversion rates through organic search boils down to one factor: intent. Brands
should understand and ensure they have the right content based on the intent of the user’s
journey. To categorize users better, Google’s Digital Marketing evangelist Avinash Kaushik
created the See-Think-Do: A Content, Marketing, Measurement Business Framework.
According to See, the audience is easily delineated by the slightest intent. Brands that
immediately serve end users with something have better chances of seeing an increase in
conversions.
Where are Users Going?
A number of analytics tools offer insight on where
users dwell while on the brand’s site. Determining
users clicking on certain parts of landing pages
enables SEOs to make changes and keep testing
until clients reach their conversion goals.
Testing different elements and landing pages of
the site with multivariate and A/B testing also
determines which works best for the target
audience.
The Bottom Line
SEO and conversion optimization are
forever joined by the hip. All SEO
strategies should focus on increasing
conversions when delivering online traffic
to their clients’ sites.
To guarantee successful conversions, local
SEOs and digital marketers should ensure
all clients have sound strategies according
to the intent of their user’s journey. It also
pays to work closely with an analytics
team for data review. The overall process
should focus on taking the necessary
steps to determine why users refuse to
convert to customers.
