Let’s make a video showing our search engine rankings before we start

April 2, 2023 by Peter Wordpress SEO Expert

Could I suggest you take some good screen shots of ‘before’ with ranking and general state of my website.

I’d also recommend a video screen recording showing the rankings and where everything is currently.

Looking forward to working with you! Your feedback and reviews I’ve heard word of mouth are really outstanding. Let’s get this SEO going!

As we embark on the task of overhauling your site’s SEO, I would like to address a potential issue that could affect the accuracy of our data.

To ensure we are comparing “apples to apples,” we need to use Google Search Console. This is the official stats package for SEO, and it provides us with accurate and reliable data that we can use to measure the impact of our efforts. Unfortunately, if you have not previously set up Google Search Console, there will not be any existing data.

In most cases, I set up Google Search Console as part of my work, and after a month (assuming you take me up on my offer of a free month’s ongoing service), I use the first week as the “before” data and the most recent week as the “after” data. This allows us to compare the performance of your website before and after the implementation of our SEO strategy.

However, if you want more accurate “before” data, I can set up Google Search Console for you now and run it for a week (or maybe even nine days) to ensure we have a sufficient dataset before beginning the SEO work. This will provide us with a better pool of data to work with, resulting in a more accurate analysis of our results.

Of course, the downside of this option is that it will delay the SEO service. If time is a concern, we can proceed with the original plan and use the data available in Google Analytics. However, it’s important to note that the data from Google Analytics may not be as accurate as the data from Google Search Console, as it does not provide the same level of detail regarding the performance of your website in search results.

Ultimately, the decision is yours. If you want to proceed with the most accurate data possible, we can set up Google Search Console and wait for a week before beginning the SEO work. If time is a concern, we can use the data available in Google Analytics and proceed as planned.

Please let me know which option you prefer, and we can proceed accordingly. I look forward to working with you to improve the SEO of your website.

I’m glad to hear that you’re pleased with the options and excited to move forward with improving your website’s SEO. As we proceed with the project, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. I’m committed to providing you with excellent service and ensuring that we achieve the results you’re looking for.

To give you a better idea of what to expect, once we have the data in place, I will conduct a thorough analysis of your website and develop a comprehensive SEO strategy that addresses any issues we uncover. This may involve optimizing your content, updating your website’s structure and design, and building high-quality backlinks to your site.

Throughout the process, I will keep you informed of our progress and provide you with regular updates on the results we’re achieving. My goal is to work closely with you to ensure that we achieve your objectives and deliver measurable results that help your website rank higher in search results and attract more traffic.

Thank you again for choosing me as your SEO consultant. I’m confident that together, we can achieve great things and take your website to the next level.

 

Cheers,

I have over 2,500 5-star feedback reviews (and I’ve never received less than the full five.)

Here’s just one example, from Mike who runs Costello Entertainments:

Migration, Hosting, SEO and Speed Work on our new website all completed quickly and efficiently and Peter was most helpful in fixing an issue with a Popover on the site as well. If you’re thinking about asking Peter to do a job for you or hesitating, JUST DO IT! – He knows programming and the internet inside out, he’ll get the job done for you professionally, with a smile. I wish I could call a plumber or a tradesman to do the jobs I can’t do myself with the same level of confidence.
