If you have been carrying out promotions, internet marketing campaigns, and search engine optimization (SEO) but still have low sales, you need to evaluate your efforts to increase the revenue of your business-to-business (B2B) project. The top key performance indicators (KPIs) for SEO are search engine ranking, number of backlinks, number of keyword dominance, bounce rate, time spent on site, and conversion rate.

Evaluating these SEO KPIs requires patient monitoring, documenting, and analysis. You have to devote a considerable amount of time to extract the data and analyze it through some applications such as Google Analytics KPI, Webmaster tools, Google Trends, Google Keyword Planner, and Google AdWords. 

These applications help determine how well your B2B website has ranked on the search engine results pages (SERPs) and how well your keywords have dominated niches. They also help determine how many hours your prospective business partners have stayed on your website, how deep the business partners and clients have engaged with your website pages, and whether visitors buy a product or service.

If you want a dedicated team to handle this SEO KPI evaluation for your B2B business, you can ask a dedicated SEO Agency in Las Vegas. They can help you conduct SEO audits and recommend measures so that you can reach your target sales. 

Let’s talk about the top four SEO KPIs in detail.

Search Engine Ranking

We can say that we are successful in carrying out SEO for a B2B business is when the website begins to rank on the first page of the search engine results. You need at least a month to fix your website design and add meta tags for back-end SEO and then another month for link building and social media optimization. In the third month, you begin to see the results of the organic internet marketing efforts. 

During the third month, you need to conduct an SEO audit or internet marketing evaluation to see how well your digital campaign is doing. SEO is part of the larger marketing effort, so consider the contribution of other departments to the results. 

Reporting is a bit complex because effectiveness in SEO is a result of many factors such as: 

  • Accurate definition and segmentation of target market
  • Relevant messaging
  • Quality of product or service
  • Reasonable pricing
  • Accessibility of product or service
  • Distribution efforts
  • Partnerships
  • Third-party supplier reliability
  • Efficient payment gateway and collection
  • Reliability of staff

SEO is rewarding because you can see the brand's growth like a seed developing into a full-grown tree. Like the branches of a tree, you can appreciate all those people who have patronized your brand through their site visits, backlinks, hashtags, reviews, testimonials, recommendations, comments, and shares. 

These branches are like your on-page and off-page links that help build the social network of your website. When you have established your network and built good partnerships, you will begin to see the fruits. The SEO growth process takes time, as it is an organic approach to investing your deep roots in online B2B business. 

Number of Backlinks

The total number of backlinks that you have for your site is your online reputation score. Backlinks indicate how people and partner businesses trust your site, your brand, and your company's authority in the specific field or industry that you are into. Backlinks are hypertext links that point to your website and social media pages. 

These links help build your overall visibility on the internet, as it keeps an active movement to your website. These links are like nerves that propel life throughout the system. Without these links, your website will stop connecting to others. So to build your brand reputation and authority, you have to grow your backlinks. 

Some basic link-building strategies are SEO content marketing, partnership with influencers, and social media advertising. Some SEO agencies use artificial intelligence (AI) to speed up link-building activities. 

You can consult your SEO agency to help you with more techniques in building your site's reputation and authority. You can combine backlinks with hashtags to boost your overall presence on the internet.

Number of Keyword Dominance

It is a significant accomplishment when you have one keyword that ranks on the SERPs; however, the overall SEO performance includes dominance in more related keywords about your brand. The more keywords topping the SERPs, the better. It is synonymous with target market saturation. 

Remember that we use SEO to boost the positioning power of your brand. Positioning is one of the critical elements of marketing that helps your brand gain dominance in the market. Positioning on the internet as the new marketplace is essential—you can reach out, connect, capture, attract, and engage target audiences easily. 

SEO positioning is the name of the game, and you want your product to excel and reach high sales targets. When you have a sufficient number of keywords, which are the best representations of your brand ranking in the search results, then you are doing an excellent job in saturating your target population.

Bounce Rate

When a user visits your website, you must sustain their interest until they reach the checkout page. The ultimate goal is for the user to perform your intended action such as registering to your organization, partnering with your business, signing up as a reseller or franchisee, agreeing as a third-party supplier, purchasing a product, or availing of a service. If the user closes your site after one to two clicks, that will contribute to the bounce rate. 

The goal is to keep your potential customer or client interested and spend a significant amount of time on your website. Strategies that you can apply are interactive content on your site, informative blogs and vlogs, awe-inspiring images, podcasts, frequently asked questions, and tutorials. You can also use direct messaging, chat, live customer or client support, and some relevant virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) videos. 

The techniques are even more interesting as Metaverse communication and AI are now attracting attention. The more dedicated you are to improving your user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) designs, the better the time retention span your site will reap. Invest in the overall UX for your visitors and see how they progress from curious users to loyal customers. 

Some websites offer 3-D interactive showrooms in which users can customize the design of a house depending on their style choices. Some feature mini-games that lead users to the processes of the brand. The strategies are endless and ever-evolving as technology continues to change the game in digital marketing.

Those are the top four SEO KPIs and strategies that signal how good you are at carrying out your SEO. Success in SEO does not happen overnight. You need to work on it every day and continue to craft strategies that reach your target audience and boost your B2B sales.
