Business Information
Let's review the sections you'll find within your SEO snapshot report. Near the top of the page is your business information. If your business information is incorrect, then the results may be slightly skewed. The report displays results based on the listed criteria.
Overall Score
The following section is your overall score. It is an indicator of how well your digital marketing efforts are performing within your industry. Although you should strive to be as close to 100% as possible, there isn't a pass or fail grade. It is a grading system used to compare your business with other competitors in your niche.
Listings
The listings section indicates how well your consumers can find you. Having accurate business information across various directories is an excellent way to get found online. Common mistakes are having different landing pages listed or listing a customer service phone number on some directories and a separate sales phone number on other business directories.
Reviews
Reviews are a way to establish trust and authority. Having positive reviews is becoming more substantial to acquiring new customers. Local businesses must continually collect updated reviews and strive for 5-star ratings.
Social
Your social grade looks at your business and compares it with others in your industry. It takes into account your social media's engagement, likes, and follows. Having a powerful social media presence is an excellent avenue to grow your brand awareness. And, these also show in search engines when consumers are researching your business.
Advertising
The advertising section collects data from current and past ad campaigns. Targeted ad campaigns build your brand awareness, drive traffic to your website, ultimately growing your customer base.
This section helps you explore opportunities by showing you a list of recommended keywords. You can also see how well your campaigns stack up against your rivals.
Summary
We are continuously evaluating consumer trends and behavior to add updates to our website audit reports. For example, we've added an eCommerce section to our reports. Since the pandemic, many businesses have pivoted to offering online sales of their products and services. So, we've added this section to break down three essential categories that are relevant when it comes to eCommerce:
- online storefront
- online payments
- lead engagement
In all, these sections combined make up the framework of your online performance.
