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!

I had a website before, but I wasn't drawing any traffic. I've been writing freelance for a year now and use keywords for clients, but have no actual clue about how SEO works.  I plan on launching my own content writing business, but need to understand SEO and digital marketing before investing in another website. My goals are to increase organic traffic, establish backlinks, maximize keyword usage, and create leads, not only for my own website, but for my clients as well.
