Getting traffic to your website is essential to generating leads and sales, there are lots of ways to drive traffic to your website such as Ads campaigns, traffic from social media.
But, driving organic traffic to your website is always special and it increases your online presence, and domain authority.
In Ads campaigns, you have to spend some money to boost website traffic, with this process you will get immediate results, I mean traffic.
While organic traffic by doing seo is free of cost, also known as free traffic, but it takes some time to index and rank your website on Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).
Yeah, I agree it takes some time and needs lots of works behind it like link building.
Believe me, it is worth doing, once you have done everything, your website will start to generate more traffic.
Keep in mind, Google will give you the traffic based on the value you give to your audience.
I think I went off the topic, let’s get into it.
You all know, writing a seo optimized blog need keyword research.
We need to collect focus keywords and also related terms, proof terms to write a well-optimized seo article.
After writing an article, we always see google analytics data on how much traffic our website getting from search engines.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we had the option to see which keywords are bringing more traffic to your website?
The fact is we can’t see it, google analytics shows only data like realtime-analytics, visitor’s location, devices, and interests.
But, we can add focus keywords to google analytics to gain more insights by using custom dimensions.
Later that, we can easily find which keywords bringing more traffic to your website.
So, what is custom dimensions and how we can add focus keyword using this?
MonsterInsights #1 google analytics wordpress plugin, in their recent update, they included integration with the All in One Seo plugin, with that, you can create custom dimensions for truseo and focus keywords to google analytics data.
Let’s first see about truseo, focus keywords, and custom dimensions, then later we can see how to set up custom dimensions.
Before getting into how to set up custom dimensions, we need to clearly understand truseo, focus keyword, and custom dimensions.
Let’s start with truseo.
Truseo:
Simply it is known as a checklist or recommendation for your on-page seo content and gives a score based on the content you wrote.
The score is calculated based on lots of factors like internal linking, external linking, alt text in images,seo title length, meta description length, readability, and more.
To rank in search engines, as I already said you need well-optimized content, based on these checklists or recommendations, you can improve your articles.
But, keep one thing in mind, these are just checklists, it helps us to write better articles only and will not help us rank in google.
Ranking on google fully depends on how good is your content is.
Focus keywords:
I believe most people know what is focus keywords, let me explain for some people in simple words who don’t know about this.
While keyword research, we choose one main keyword that is known as the focus keyword.
We have seen about truseo and how truseo scores are calculated.
Once you entered the focus keyword in the seo plugin, .then it starts to analyze your content whether your focus keyword is present in your title or not like this, and gives recommendations on how can you improve your content.
Let me give you an example,
The “ Focus Keyword ” for this blog is “ Boost Website Traffic ” and I want to rank for this keyword.
So, I set this focus keyword in my seo plugin to get relevant recommendations to rank for this keyword.
Custom dimensions:
First of all, google analytics data are divided into two types,
- Dimensions
- Metrics
Dimensions are attributes of your analytics data and metrics are quantitative measurements of the dimensions.
As you can see in the below table, the city is a dimension, and sessions, pages/sessions are metrics of your analytics.
DIMENSION | METRIC | METRIC |
|---|---|---|
City | Sessions | Pages/Session |
Los Angeles | 10000 | 4.5 |
Lebanon | 8000 | 3.5 |
Most Analytics reports are organized by dimension values into rows and metrics into columns.
If you want to track more dimensions, google analytics allows us to do this with custom dimensions.
With MonsterInsights, we can easily set up the following dimensions with google analytics.
- User Id
- Logged in
- Post Type
- Published at
- Author
- Category
- Tags
- SEO Score
- Focus Keyword
