Advanced SEO ROI Forecasting
Our software attempts to provide more realistic results by applying a model when generating forecasts. This model can be customised if needed, and offers three scenarios:
Low – A fairly conservative expectations of achievable rank
Medium – A reasonable assumption of what is likely to be achievable
High – This shows a best-case scenario given your current rank position
Questions about how to forecast for SEO?
How do I build an SEO business case?
SEO forecasts are typically made using standard or customised click-thru-rate models built on your keyword ranking data and search volume data for every keyword.
You will need:
1. Up-to-date keyword ranking data for the keywords and pages that interest you.
2. Search volumes for these keywords.
3. A standard CTR% model to apply to the search volumes for each keyword based on how well you are ranking for that keyword. You can of course customise this for brand/non-brand keywords or at a keyword or keyword tag level.
4. Business metrics from Google Analytics or elsewhere, that show you how many and the value of the sales or leads generated from organic search.
5. A model (typically in Excel) that estimates your current organic visibility and allows you to produce estimates based on you making assumptions and estimates of how much you can improve rankings by and by when.
6. You can do this manually by gathering data from a keyword ranking tool like Authoritas, Google AdWords (or other suppliers of Search Volume data, Google Analytics (or another analytics provider) and Google Search Console.
7. Alternatively, you can automate this process by choosing an SEO platform with in-built sophisticated SEO forecasting and ROI calculators.
How do I use an SEO ROI Impact Calculator?
Make realistic forecasts. No website ever gets to number 1 ranking for all their non-brand keywords!
We like using the Authoritas “Ladder Principle” – this allows you to make forecasts assuming that you can improve to the average ranking positions of the sites above you, not necessarily straight to number 1.
This caters for an incremental improvement in rankings as opposed to an overnight spike in rankings and is consequently more realistic than a lot of SEO forecasts which are made assuming the very best-case scenario (the ‘impossible scenario’).
