Solutions

By evaluating the equivalent monthly cost of traffic from all keywords a site ranks for if paid via PPC instead of ranking organically, we are able to get a sense of how valuable a domain’s keyword profile is.

We can also compare that to other competitors in the space to estimate how profitable their websites are due to their SEO efforts. This provides a basis for SEO expenditures as well as provides a ROI roadmap ((traffic volume x CTR) x (average product sale) = potential profit)).

"Cheney is a fine-tuned machine where small changes can have a big impact. However, this doesn’t mean the company is laissez faire with its marketing investments. This is why Digital Elevator provided so much value; they took a deep dive with the competitive analysis, website audit, and actionable recommendations and interpreted complicated search engine data into dollars and cents."
