Understanding your website's performance through key metrics is essential for optimal digital growth. What we include in our report is crucial for both your SEO and PPC efforts. This guide provides an overview of important metrics you might encounter in our reporting.
The process of optimising a website to rank higher on search engine results and drive organic traffic.
Average Position: The average ranking of your site’s pages in search results. A better average position correlates with increased visibility and potential traffic.
Bounce Rate: The percentage of visitors who leave your site after viewing only one page. Generally, lower bounce rates are preferable, suggesting visitors are engaged and exploring more content.
Clicks: The number of times users clicked on your organic search results. A higher click count indicates effective title tags and meta descriptions that entice users to visit your site.
Click-Through Rate (CTR): The percentage of impressions that resulted in clicks. A higher CTR suggests that your content resonates well with searchers.
Impressions: The number of times your website's pages appear in search results. A higher number of impressions can signify better visibility in search engines, but it’s essential to ensure that these impressions lead to clicks.
Organic Traffic: Visitors who find a website through unpaid search engine results. This metric excludes visitors coming from paid ads, email links, or referrals from other websites.
Page Load Time: Tracks how long it takes for your website to load for users. Research indicates that pages taking longer than 2 seconds to load experience significant visitor loss.
Pages Per Session: The average number of pages a visitor views during a single session. A higher pages-per-session count suggests users are exploring products, enhancing engagement.
Session Duration: The average time visitors spend on your site during a single session. Longer session durations often correlate with higher engagement levels.
Total Visits: The total number of individual sessions on your site, counting every visit regardless of duration or engagement level.
Unique Visitors: The number of distinct users who have accessed your site during the reporting period. This figure will always be lower than total visits since many users may return for additional sessions.
