The brief

At WebQem I brought a mortgage and investment company’s website into the SEO desk’s tracked workflow and monitored its search performance in Google Search Console.

02

How I approached it

  • Set up and monitored the Search Console property (Performance, Indexing, Sitemaps, Page experience, Enhancements).
  • Tracked clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, plus top queries (brand and product terms).
  • Worked the account as part of the WebQem SEO desk. The client sat in the team’s bookmark bar next to Servicedesk, Resource Guru and the SEO Tracker in team-meeting screenshots from Nov–Dec 2023.

What I did

How I solved it: Getting a new property into a tracked SEO workflow

  • Connected the site to Search Console and watched the Performance report from the first weeks of data.
  • Split brand queries from product queries to see which non-brand terms were starting to rank.
  • Kept the client in the weekly WebQem SEO workflow (ticketing, resourcing, SEO tracker).
  • Search Console set-up, monitoring and reporting.
