@therealkieran, a few ways to accomplish this. We know GSC is devoid of revenue & GA4 is missing query-level insights, so there is some data stitching required. We look only at non-brand queries in GSC + the traffic lift on pages *beyond* the HP, advertising LPs, and functional LPs. From here, we can directionally apply a revenue lift % to the organic traffic that flows through these pages as landing pages.

Me: Can we build an SEO service measured in revenue impact not traffic? @teabeeshell : Watch me cook.🧑🍳 @DaveRekuc : 🍽️




Who out there has the clearest perspective on Google Ads attribution/value creation? All of it: - Branded Search - YT - Non-brand PMax - Demand Gen - Categorical Search & Shopping What are the big points that you're surest of here?

SEO Tips From Travis, No. 38 Google Merchant Center Next is right around the corner. But wait, isn't that a Google Ads platform? Yes, and... It fuels your visual organic listings. From product cards, to shipping and returns snippets, to promo codes, GMC governs how you appear beyond Shopping ads. Use this mandatory transition to refresh copy, imagery, and product highlights. Try Product Studio's new suite of AI tools. Don't let Aug 19th merely come and go. #SEOChat


SEO Tips From Travis, No. 37 Few brands realize how many "artifacts" they create and leave behind. - A sale ends, and the corresponding collection is removed from the nav - An old product runs low on inventory and is removed from a collection - A test page is tested and the team merely moves on to another - A team creates a new page, replaces the old version and leaves it existing - A social lander runs its course and the team moves on Many of these still surface in organic results. Create sunsetting workflows to avoid "stray" pages that no longer reflect the brand or facilitate a positive UX. #SEOChat

SEO Tips From Travis, No. 36 Your social media presence matters for SEO. The goal is to command as much SERP real estate as you can. (This can reduce the need for branded search spend.) By default, Google & other search engines surface your primary profile links, no change. More recently, Google has been going one level deeper... When helpful, Google will surface recent posts from your brand, including X (Twitter), Tik Tok, Facebook, and YouTube (yes, that's social media, too). Some questions to ask: - Do you have dormant profiles? Can you invigorate them to include a bare minimum of viable activity? - Can you schedule evergreen posts to surface profiles that the team currently cannot actively manage? - Is your profile page info current (valid links, on-brand messaging, current visual treatment, robust build)? Leave no stone unturned. #SEOChat

SEO Tips From Travis, No. 35 Google Merchant Center no longer ONLY fuels Shopping + PMax campaigns. Today, they directly influence organic listings. Here are two ways (ex. Merrell running shoes): 1) Snippets Price ranges, delivery timelines, return policies, and even promo codes (not shown) appear below the text-based organic listing. 2) Product Grid In addition to the top-most, paid Shopping carousel, SERPs now feature an organic listings grid, mid-page. Clicks expand a details panel (desktop right-side, mobile full-screen), which initially keep users on the SERP. Full utilization of GMC represents a significant opportunity for brands today. #SEOChat




SEO Tips From Travis, No. 34 When developing content, it's easy, common even, to grow narrow-minded. "We describe ourselves as ___, and our product is ___ helping people to ___." That's a singular path. Find common synonyms for your descriptors, your product features and benefits, and your audience. Expand your content accordingly. Not only will content become more relatable, but you'll cast a wider net in terms of eligible search queries. Win win. #SEOChat

SEO Tips From Travis, No. 33 Rankings are important, but they risk being a vanity metric for many. They do not directly ladder up to revenue. (Rankings ≠ Revenue) Of course, they're directionally relevant. You must be *seen* to earn traffic. (Who visits Page 3 on Google?) Focus on the things you can control: Send clear signals to search engines Understand GSC + GA4 data Create quality content #SEOChat

SEO Tips From Travis, No. 32 Review your redirects list, at least quarterly. Many will find hidden surprises, either in what's included or not yet included. Chances are high you should leverage 301s *more* often, not less, to ensure you deliver a positive UX. #SEOChat
