How can SEO improve your conversion rates?

Most business owners see search engine optimisation (SEO) and conversion rate optimisation (CRO) as two separate strategies, which can result in a less effective performance from both practices. SEO is the top funnel marketing process that helps you drive quality website visitors to your website through unpaid search results, aiming to convert them. SEO is effective in improving brand visibility, while enjoying a high volume of organic traffic, with long term results.

Conversion rate optimisation, on the other hand, is improving the percentage of visitors who perform a desired action. Desired actions are based on your business objectives, but can include downloading a brochure, completing an online contact form, or making a purchase. 

Blending SEO and CRO

When you blend these two strategies, they become interconnected, helping to improve conversion rates and return on investment. When you drive unqualified website visitors, or visitors who are not at the right stage of the purchasing funnel to your website, you can actually reduce your conversions, as they are not the right visitors.

By driving fewer highly qualified visitors to your website can provide higher conversion results. This is targeted traffic interested in what your business has to offer and they are ready to take a conversion action. 

Focusing your SEO strategy on long-tail keywords, user intent, and marketing funnel stages, you can optimise your content effectively to convert visitors into customers, rather than simply having a high volume of website visitors that look around and leave without taking a desired action.

Tips to Optimising SEO for Conversions

There are a number of SEO techniques you can use to improve conversions, thee include:

Long-Tail Keywords

The first step in optimising SEO for conversions is to incorporate long-tail keywords into your content. These are highly specific phrases that are longer than three words. While these keywords do not have the same high traffic volumes as short-tail keywords, they have a higher conversion rate. Long-tail keywords tend to be less competitive and easy to rank for.

User Intent and Funnel Stage

Different search queries have different intents. This means a user could be searching for directions, information, or they want to make a purchase, these are all stages of the purchasing funnel. There are four stages to the purchasing funnel you need to be aware of:

When you understand user intent, you can craft high quality content for those audiences, based on their stage in the purchasing funnel, while matching their intent to their landing page experience. 

Core Web Vitals

Core web vitals were introduced by Google and are essential when it comes to your websites user experience (UX). This update includes speeding up your website pages and using interactive measurements. Google has made page loading speed and mobile optimisation part of their ranking algorithm. 

Core web vitals have a major impact on SEO rankings, which means you now need to focus on providing website visitors with the best user experience.

Conclusion

If you are not working conversion rate optimisation into your SEO campaign, you could be underwhelmed by the results you are achieving. When you take the customer's buying journey into consideration, from the first impression through to conversion, you can improve your conversions, enjoying sustainability, and online success.
