Feature Highlight: Organic Keyword Conversion Tracking
Track which organic keywords are driving conversions and revenue so you can make better content marketing decisions to improve your bottom line.
If you work in content marketing, understanding how your blogs and landing pages are driving conversions through the full funnel is a key way to drive more business.
We found that 89% of marketers use blog content as a key part of their marketing strategy.
But there are issues when it comes to reporting on organic traffic and SEO performance. 32% of marketers said they struggle to track blog content conversions, but how deep are these insights?
And when buyers are viewing three to five pieces of content before engaging with a sales rep, it’s clear that you as a marketer need to be able to prove which content is achieving that. And, even more importantly, which organic keywords are supplementing those important sessions.
Do you know which organic keywords bring in the most traffic and conversions? If you said no, you’re not alone. Only 23% of marketers are confident they’re tracking the right KPIs.
While Google Analytics can tell you the performance of your landing pages and content, it can’t share the search queries you rank for.
But, there is a get around.
Ruler Analytics has an in-product feature that allows you to view which organic keywords are driving traffic and which are driving conversions.

Let’s get stuck in.
Many marketers assume that just because their organic content is driving sessions, that means their content is working well.
If you’re only tracking sessions as a success for your content marketing, then you have a very limited view of how your organic blogs are actually working.
While Google Analytics is a great tool to measure your marketing, it only gives you part of the picture.

When it comes to SEO, your ultimate goal should be to drive sales and revenue. If your blogs are driving traffic, but not converting those visitors, then your SEO strategy isn’t working.
In order to get a full understanding of the impact of your organic traffic, you need to link your closed sales back to your organic keywords. This will give you visibility of how your blogs are driving traffic, but also how they’re driving leads, conversions and sales.
Let’s use an example to explain.
You log into GA and see that 1,000 people viewed your recent blog post in the last month. Great work! But what do those 1,000 users mean?
Very little.
While you can track how they found you; organic search, referral, direct, you’re still left high and dry if you’re not in eCommerce when it comes to understanding more about their full customer journey from end to end.

In Google Analytics, you’ll likely see ‘keyword not provided’ when trying to connect keywords to your content.
This leaves you with a missing view of how those visitors found you in the first place. Understanding this, and linking it to your bottom line gives you a deeper line of insight that you can use to optimise your content marketing.
Here’s how to get your hands on that data.
In order to view what traffic, clicks, leads and sales you’re driving from your organic content, you need to integrate a tool that can track all of your leads and their sources.
