Visibility

Watch impressions, clicks, query themes, landing pages, and device trends. Search Console can show how often pages appear and what people searched before visiting.

Intent

Track views of important service, pricing, location, and guide pages. These show what questions people are exploring before contacting the business.

Conversion

Measure form submissions, phone-link clicks, bookings, email clicks, quote requests, and other agreed actions. Define what counts before you start reporting.

Quality

Look for broken forms, abandoned paths, weak pages, slow experiences, and unanswered questions. The best metric is often the next fix it reveals.

The challenge

Too many dashboards can hide the few signals that explain whether the website is attracting the right people and helping them act.

The practical move

Define meaningful events before launch, connect them to business questions, and review trends alongside the pages and queries that produced them.
