What matters in seo
Research search demand and find technical issues that affect discovery. Treat third-party metrics as estimates and validate priorities against your own site data.
Write down your must-have requirements separately from features that would simply be nice to have. A short pilot should test the most difficult part of your workflow, not just the easiest demo.
Compare research scope and freshness with crawl allowances and reporting. Include the cost of setup, training, and ongoing administration in the decision.
