SEO can easily turn into a game of watching rankings, reporting what happened, and waiting to see what happens next. But what if there was a better way to know exactly when it’s time to stop focusing on one keyword and start going after the next opportunity?
Brian Walker sits down with Shop Marketing Pros Director of SEO Michelle Travis to break down the new SMP Proactive Keyword Lifecycle System and how it changes SEO from reactive to proactive. They dig into how keywords are discovered, qualified, accelerated, validated, and eventually “graduated” once they reach meaningful and stable positions in search.
They also get into why SEO timelines can look completely different for a rural shop versus a shop surrounded by hundreds of competitors in a major metro area, how keyword difficulty affects expectations, and why focusing on 20 keywords doesn’t mean your shop will only rank for 20 keywords.
And the early numbers behind the system are pretty impressive. During beta testing, 31% of the tracked keywords graduated within the first 30 days, with nearly all of those maintaining their graduation status during the following 30 days.
If you want a better understanding of what your shop’s SEO company should actually be doing behind the scenes and how a real strategy should keep moving forward instead of sitting in maintenance mode. Listen to the full episode.
