Keyword Discovery, Suggestions, and Monitoring
Learning which queries and terms made your site appear in search results helps you understand your audience, avoid jargon, and truly speak their language. Through a direct integration of Google’s Search Console, Siteimprove SEO helps you understand how the world’s most popular search engine and its users see and - more importantly - find your website.
Discover traffic-driving keywords and filter them based on strategy, including:
- Quick wins, high impact, or long-tail keywords
- Keyword performance
- Search volume, estimated traffic, and competition level
Siteimprove SEO also provides in-tool tips on where to start and how to get the most out of your keyword research and monitoring. Let the content creation begin.
Content optimization
No one said writing search engine-optimized content was a walk in the park. Whether you're an SEO specialist first and a content writer second—or the other way around—Siteimprove SEO guides you every step of the way.
Based on the keywords you identify within a given Activity Plan, next steps are to:
- Identify your target pages that use those keywords
- Map keywords into page elements like meta title, meta description, and headlines
- Be linked straight to your CMS and fix the issues hurting your SEO rankings
- Monitor progress of target pages over time
Duplicate content finder
Bad news: Identifying duplicate or competing content by hand is impossible considering the amount of content on your website. Good news: Siteimprove SEO does the heavy-lifting for you.
Our intelligent, machine-learning algorithm divides your site into clusters based on similarity levels. Based on these insights, you can remove or edit potentially harmful content and minimize the risk of being punished by Google and the other search engine gods.
Backlinks
Backlinks are one of the most fundamental elements of any successful SEO strategy. Search engines use them as an indicator of how trustworthy your site is. The true challenge is that your link profile is ever-changing, which makes it vital for you to stay on top of it. Siteimprove’s Backlink feature allows you to:
- Understand your website’s backlink profile at a glance
- Easily identify high-value and potentially harmful backlinks
- Avoid losing valuable links that might point to wrong or undesired pages
With Siteimprove SEO you can easily keep tabs on your backlink profile, build authority with links from relevant and trusted sources, and discover undesirable links that may impact your rankings.
Search Engine Analytics
To succeed at SEO, you have to know what the market wants, where they're coming from, and how engaged they are with your content. By integrating with Siteimprove Analytics, features like Key Metrics allow you to accurately measure ROI by attaching a monetary value to every effort.
With Search Engine Analytics at hand:
- Prove ROI to stakeholders by attaching value to conversions
