Where to Look For Opportunity
1. Ensure your site is free of technical issues
• Monitor GWT to keep an eye on any crawl issues
• Audit and re-audit your site on a regular basis
• Monitor GA for anomalies in analytic data
2. Focus on Themes, not Keywords
3. Focus on analytic metrics that matter
• Conversions
• Engagement
• Attribution
4. Understand what the competitors are doing
• Share of Voice in organic and paid search
• Social Reach (mentions, engagement, etc)
• What tactics are they using (social hub? blog?)

How do you deal with all of these new tasks?
PRIORITIZATION!
15. All Rights Reserved © Ethology, Inc. 15

#ModernSEO @Ethology
Examples of Prioritization
1. Ensure your site is free of technical issues
a. Determine what’s most important by associating impact and value to each
item.
i. Example: 30% of the site’s pages are inaccessible to search engines. Calculate
possible demand those pages are losing to determine importance.
2. Focus on Themes, not Keywords
a. Example: Widgets and doodads categories both have similar demand and
both need optimization attention. Widget sales would have a better value
per visitor.
3. Focus on analytic metrics that matter
a. Example: Which pages have the highest conversion rate?
b. Example: Which pages have had their bounce rates skyrocket since
implementing the newsletter sign up form?
4. Understand what the competitors are doing
a. Example: 3 of your 4 competitors have content around an important topic to
your industry. Analyze content demand and address with content strategy.

SEO and PPC Integration
Paid Search is typically the largest
assistor of Organic Search.
Organic as an assistor however only
represents 2.74% of all PPC
conversions.
Tip: Link Webmaster Tools to AdWords
so each tactic can gain insights into
keyword data, measure incremental lift
of Paid and Organic, and prevent
cannibalization.
