How to judge whether the SEO strategy is effective?

3 minimalist signals: use basic data to diagnose SEO health

When 90% of the teams are obsessed with keyword rankings, smart people are using these 3 sets of indicators to lock in real growth.

Redefine SEO effectiveness evaluation

Traditional misunderstandings: Over-reliance on indirect indicators such as keyword rankings and inclusions Data4 new perspective: Infer SEO health through user behavior

Use Data4 real-time module to capture SEO clues

▌ Signal 1: Source domain name fluctuation monitoring

● Operation path:

1. a. Enter the real-time dashboard → source domain name
2. b. Identify search engine domain name characteristics (such as google.com/bing.com)
3. c. Observe the real-time jumping domain name distribution
4. Diagnostic logic:

✅ Healthy signal: Search engine domain names continue to appear and the proportion is stable

⚠️ Danger signal: Core search engine domain names disappear (such as google.com returns to zero)

Case: A tool station found that the google.com domain name disappeared from the real-time list. It was found that the server blocked the crawler. After the repair, the page views rose by 142%.

▌ Signal 2: Country/language matching

● Operation:

1. a. Check the real-time country distribution
2. b. Compare language settings
3. c. Calculate the difference rate: (country traffic TOP3) vs (corresponding language coverage)

For example: A travel station found:

● Real-time country TOP3: France/Germany/Italy

● Language distribution: English 85%

Immediately add multilingual options, and the bounce rate will be reduced by 34%.

Use the comparison module to verify user quality

▌ Signal 3: Page-level bounce rate game

● Operation:

1. a. Select high-traffic pages (TOP10 views)
2. b. Compare their bounce rates
3. c. View by device type

Diagnostic logic:

● Bounce rate difference of the same type of pages >25% → content quality or user experience problem

● Mobile bounce rate is >35% higher than desktop → mobile adaptation defect

▌ Signal 4: Access time decay curve

For example: A blog found:

● Average access time of new articles: 1.2 minutes

● Old articles from three months ago: 3.8 minutes

Conclusion: Insufficient content depth needs to be optimized.

Alternative solutions when demand exceeds Data4's capabilities

Scenario 1: Tracking search term value

● Minimalist solution:

1. Record high-traffic keywords in Google Search Console
2. Manually observe the landing pages corresponding to these words (in the Data4 "Page" column)
3. Mark pages with high bounce rates and optimize content in a targeted manner

Scenario 2: Analyze cross-device experience

● Three-step method:

1. View the difference in bounce rates of each device in the Data4 comparison module
2. Visit the page with the highest bounce rate in person with a mobile phone
3. Record loading/clicking/scrolling jams

Scenario 3: Content path optimization

● Manual observation method:

1. Observe the user access sequence in the real-time "Page" column (such as A→B→C)
2. Record the frequency of jumps from content page to product page in 10 visits
3. Optimize the dynamic line for low-frequency jump combinations

Conclusion: Return to the essence of SEO - user behavior verification
