SEO

Yes, backlinks (links from other websites to yours) are an important aspect of SEO. Search engines consider backlinks as a vote of confidence and authority. High-quality and relevant backlinks can improve your website’s credibility and rankings. However, it’s crucial to focus on acquiring natural and authoritative backlinks, as spammy or low-quality links can harm your SEO efforts.

SERP is an acronym for Search Engine Results Page. Every search query has a unique SERP, depending on the location, history and behavior of the user. A SERP can have extra elements with the intent of delivering information in a more useful way. Think of a SERP showing a map with pizza locations or an answer directly visible on the SERP instead of on the website the answer is found on.

The time it takes to rank on Google varies depending on factors such as competition, website age, content quality, and SEO efforts. Generally, significant improvements in rankings can take several months. However, there is no set timeframe as search engine algorithms are complex and constantly evolving. Consistency, patience, and ongoing optimization efforts are essential for achieving and maintaining good rankings on Google.

Mobile optimization refers to the process of ensuring that your website is fully functional, visually appealing, and user-friendly on mobile devices. With the rise in mobile internet usage, search engines prioritize mobile-friendly websites in their rankings.

Link building is the practice of acquiring links from other websites to your own. These links, also known as backlinks, play a crucial role in SEO. They serve as “votes” of confidence and authority from other websites, indicating to search engines that your content is valuable and trustworthy. Link building involves outreach, relationship-building, and content promotion strategies to encourage other websites to link to your site. Quality backlinks from reputable and relevant sources can improve your website’s visibility, organic rankings, and overall online authority.

Tracking

Conversion tracking is the process of monitoring and measuring the actions that users take on your website or landing page that align with your business goals. These actions, known as conversions, can vary depending on your objectives, such as making a purchase, filling out a form, subscribing to a newsletter, or downloading a file.

The choice of tracking methods depends on your specific goals, platforms, and marketing channels. Implementing and analyzing tracking data can provide valuable insights to improve marketing strategies and optimize campaign performance.

By tracking and analyzing key metrics, your business can enhance the effectiveness of your efforts and drive sustainable growth.

How does conversion tracking work?

Conversion tracking works by tracking what people do once they get to your website after clicking on your ads. You can define the action you want to track as a conversion goal, such as a purchase, a sign-up, a call, or a download1. Then, you can use a tracking code or tag to collect data from your website and measure how many conversions your ads have driven.

Conversion tracking also helps you attribute the credit of one or more conversions to your ad campaigns, ad groups, and keywords. This is called conversion attribution1. There are different attribution models that you can use to assign credit to your ad clicks, such as last click, first click, linear, time decay, data-driven, etc.

Conversion tracking can help you optimize your ad campaigns, understand your return on investment (ROI), and improve your website user experience
