It’s wise to keep tabs on how potential clients might find you on the web. Here’s some methods.
Google Analytics
With Google Analytics, you can not only see which pages on your website are generating the most traffic but can also see a breakdown of where the traffic is coming from. Are people finding you through search engines like Google? Are sites like Facebook or Twitter driving visits to your site? You can also see which devices your audience is using to access your site. This is a good way to see the impact of mobile phones on visitors to your site. This is all valuable information for helping you figure out how people are finding you and which resources they are using when researching your business.
Keyword Planner
Google’s Keyword Planner works to find the keywords that are most relevant to your business which you can then choose to add to your plan. Start by typing in the top 5 brands, products, and services you offer. Be sure to use multiple words for each search, for instance ‘Serta’ is a great brand search, while ‘Serta iComfort Mattress’ is a more specific product search to conduct.

Reviews
Customers really want to know what other people think about your business. A huge majority of customers who search for local businesses read online reviews to form an opinion. Customers are also using the search terms “to avoid” and “is __ worth it?” on Google to steer clear of poorly reviewed businesses or products. We’re all guilty of buyer’s remorse, so rather than continue that trend, customers are researching thoroughly to ensure that they’re completely satisfied.
