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?

Seriously though, when we use SMART goals, I'm looking to make our company website mobile-friendly, responsive designed, image optimized, and keyword impregnated before the end of the year.  I just want our customers to have a great experience on our website and with our data.
