Pick KPIs tied to decisions
Reports are useful only when they change action. Track metrics that guide prioritization, not vanity totals.
Core KPI set
- impressions by intent cluster
- CTR change after snippet updates
- pages moving from positions 6-20 into top 5
- publish-to-index lag
Close the loop weekly
Turn KPI movement into concrete next actions: update, expand, merge, or retire pages.
