what are we going
to be talking about?
BRAUMGroup 4
i’m not a
developer
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 5
i’m looking for
the quick wins
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 6@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
search
analytics
report
data
highlighting
crawl
errors
internal
linking
there’s four key
areas in search
console where
you can find
your quick wins
BRAUMGroup 7
crawl
errors
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 8
it’s about
more than
simply fixing
them
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 9@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
errors hide
opportunities
find the quality sites
and update the
links.. you can even
spot low quality
ones to remove
BRAUMGroup 10@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
look at internal crawl errors too
these are the easiest to take advantage of
BRAUMGroup 11@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
this is particularly important if
you’ve recently migrated or
changed urls
BRAUMGroup 12@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
why make life hard for google?
it’s lazy seo...
BRAUMGroup 13
post migration
all internal links changed rather than redirected
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 14@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
use crawl errors for
link opportunities &
change internal
links to correct
version
takeaway
BRAUMGroup 15
internal
linking
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 16@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
search traffic >
internal links
priority pages
should top the list
BRAUMGroup 17@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
if not, it’s time to interlink
start with related pages and your blog
BRAUMGroup 18@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
internal links help increase ctr too
BRAUMGroup 19@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
no footer links….
BRAUMGroup 20@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
messy, spammy, if anything detrimental and let’s
be honest, does anyone actually click them?
BRAUMGroup 21@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
priority pages
should have the
most internal links
takeaway
BRAUMGroup 22
data
highlighting
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 23@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
try to use schema markup
where possible, but if all else
fails this is a great back up
BRAUMGroup 24@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
what data
can you
highlight?
BRAUMGroup 25@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
simple to do
bigger serp
listing
increased ctr
BRAUMGroup 26@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
and the best thing is……
no coding
BRAUMGroup 27@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 28@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
52% increase in visits
BRAUMGroup 29@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
markup your data
why make it
difficult for google?
takeaway
BRAUMGroup 30
search
analytics
report
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 31
this should
be your
best friend
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
everything
is actionable
BRAUMGroup 32@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
use the pages report to find
top performing pages &
potential for improvement
BRAUMGroup 33@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
you can filter data and layer comparisons
it’s a detailed report of your actual data
BRAUMGroup 34@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
this is old content - why so much traffic?
why is mobile ctr higher?
BRAUMGroup 35@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
we rank position one and have instant
answers… a look in ga shows it’s profitable too
BRAUMGroup 36@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
quick wins...
can we improve the cta?
let’s ensure content is up to date
push blog via social
include blog in next newsletter
BRAUMGroup 37@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
this is old content - why so much traffic?
why is mobile ctr higher?
BRAUMGroup 38@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
mobile results are larger
and include imagery…
desktop does not
quick win
ensure blog imagery is
eye catching
BRAUMGroup 39@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
from one simple
report, i have a list
of quick win
opportunities
BRAUMGroup 40
top five uses
for the search
analytics
reports
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 41@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
check your click through rate, if positioning
is high & ctr is lower than expected review
and tweak your meta optimisation
BRAUMGroup 42@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
check your rankings for your top 25/50
search queries on desktop and mobile -
anything towards the top of page two has a
quick win potential
BRAUMGroup 43@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
apply data findings across other
marketing channels, particularly
adwords and social
BRAUMGroup 44@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
filter the queries report by questions (who,
what, why, where, when). this will give you
an idea of instant answers to target that you
know will drive traffic
BRAUMGroup 45@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
check trends through
impressions and queries.
this will help you
understand seasonality
and potential traffic
valentines flowers
searches peak early jan
and the day before...
BRAUMGroup 46@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
the potential
is endless
BRAUMGroup 47@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
live, eat & breathe
this report, it has
data for days!
takeaway
BRAUMGroup 48
disavow
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo

@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 50@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo

BRAUMGroup 53
new client in jan, disavow, two weeks later
big visibility increases
@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
BRAUMGroup 54@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
consider a disavow at
keyword level too
our tests have shown
it works
BRAUMGroup 55@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
page one
disavowed all anchor
text links for a term with
over 200K searches
ranking increased from
page 2 to page 1 in ten
days
BRAUMGroup 56@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
keep your disavow
up to date
also focus on
keyword level
takeaway
BRAUMGroup 57@lauralouise90 | #brightonseo
- use the crawl errors report for link
opportunities
- increase internal links to priority pages

friend for usable data
- markup your data
