Full Transcript

Google Analytics helps SEO by tracking who visits a website and how they found it. This data includes traffic sources and keywords used. SEO teams look at this information to see which keywords and pages perform well. They then improve website content and SEO strategies to target these keywords better. After making changes, they watch new data in Analytics to see if traffic and engagement improve. This process repeats regularly to keep improving SEO results over time.
