SEO Performance Tracking, What's the Best Way to Measure Results?

Question

Hi there, I have a burning question and I thought this would be a great place to ask it.

Does such a tool exist that you give it a set of search terms and then it checks where you are ranking for those terms--preferably over time.

For me, "paris hotels" is an important search term, as is "paris hotel", hotel paris, hotels paris and to a lesser extent hotels in paris and hotel in paris.

You can basically multiply those search terms by x number of cities and you've got my company's bread & butter.

I want to hire a few people to do seo, and i want to monitor their performance on a daily basis. So I would like to give each of them 5 cities (multiplied by the 4 search terms above) then plot where we are ranking for all those permutations on a daily basis, to see who's performing best, and how quickly they can produce results etc.

Is there software that can do that? What is the best way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for your time

Alex

I dont think that is is possible to do what you are asking and i will tell you why I think you need marketing help.

S.E.O. is a way of programming your site to be search engine friendly has little to do with search engine results other than it is easier for the search engine to find the information.

As far as high rank that is achieved by how many times your URL is being referenced i.e. back links message boards and blogs

If you want someone to sell you a new website that wont do a whole lot for you get SEO if you want to improve traffic and page rank get marketing..

I hope this helps

Answer 4

If I understood your question correctly, I think i got your solution!

You want to track the progress of the SEO for certain keywords to certain websites, right?

There are two tools that can do that:

1. Rank Checker

http://tools.seobook.com/firefox/rank-ch...

Advantage: Free

Disadvantage: Data is not always correct. Limited on the number of keywords. No historical data (unless you import)

2. SEO Elite

http://www.safelinkdirect.com/seoelite

Advantage: By far the best SEO tool around. You can do everything the tool above can't and more. You can even find out where your back-links are coming from at the push of a button

Disadvantage: Paid
