Benchmark SEO is the practice of establishing baseline performance metrics for your organic search presence, then measuring change against those baselines over time. Done properly, it tells you whether your SEO work is producing results or just producing activity. Done poorly, which is most of the time, it tells you whatever you want to hear….
Benchmark SEO is the practice of measuring your search performance against a defined reference point, whether that’s your own historical data, direct competitors, or industry norms.
