How we measure leads from SEO

Measuring SEO-driven leads means tracking both quantity and quality. Start by agreeing what counts as a lead (contact form, phone call, chat, quote request) so everyone uses the same definition.

  1. Set up tracking: Use Google Analytics (or equivalent) to record conversions and add UTM tags to campaigns so organic landing pages are identifiable.
  2. Capture source data: Add hidden fields on forms for landing page/keyword and use call-tracking numbers or call-event tracking to link phone leads to organic visits.
  3. Integrate with your CRM: Push form and call data into the CRM to track lead status (MQL/SQL) and closed revenue back to SEO.
  4. Analyze attribution: Review assisted conversions and multi-touch paths to understand SEO’s role, not just last-click.

Track volume, conversion rate, lead quality (close rate, deal value), and report monthly so SEO actions map to real business outcomes.
