This year we saw some pretty good results with search rankings, particularly for keywords that were generating some volume. The site was listed 1st in searches for ბავშვის საწოლები (Children’s bed) and ბავშვის საწოლი (Baby bed). These keywords had the highest volume and drove the majority of Organic search traffic to the site (approx 2674 users - or almost 10% of the search traffic):

Generally, in terms of SEO approach, I aim to prioritise the changes that will have the biggest impact, on users and visitor numbers. This means I try to tackle the most impactful changes working down from site-wide changes (like improving site response time) which impact all rankings, and then identifying the highest volume keywords to optimise the site on and working down the keyword list based on keyword traffic volume. We have added the keywords with greater than 100> searches per month to the favourites list in the Insights section of the admin area, as these will have the greatest impact on search traffic.
