Defining your SEO goals

[rsheldon]

By setting goals and putting numbers to those goals, you'll be able to figure out whether your SEO efforts are actually paying off. Many businesses will simply say, "We want to rank #1 for this keyword," but that isn't quite enough.

Keeping this in mind, what are the goals for your website?

• Do you want to increase organic traffic?
• Do you want to increase the number of leads from your website?
• Do you want to design a mobile-friendly website?
• Or is your goal something completely different?

Share your primary SEO goal in the comments below!

Interesting goal, how large is your following so far and what platform will you be using the SEO on as Instagram's social media offering doesn't offer many tools to optimize your content beyond short descriptions, proper titles, and hashtags?
