Seo’s Impact: Increase Rankings & Traffic
• Based on the CTR study by
AWR, CTRs go up based on
rank position. Keywords in
the top three (1-3) positions
have the highest CTR.
• By optimizing keywords and
improving rank in the 4-20
positions, you can increase
your CTRs, thus increasing
overall organic traffic and
visibility of your site.

Seo’s Impact: Fill that funnel
• Achieve greater organic traffic and new users to your site
• Determined by keyword search volume, click through rates and rank position.
• High-quality content can lead to more social shares and backlinking while increasing your
site’s behavior metrics:
• Time on site
• Pages per visit
• Bounce rates
• Driving new (cold) traffic through the organic channel to the top of the funnel deepens your
cookie pool for retargeting.
