\n\n\nSEO Forecasting is an expectation.
\n
Before businesses invest in SEO, they want to know what they’re getting for their money.
\nThe pressure for businesses to be data-driven means it’s more important than ever to be accountable for your SEO performance.
\nAnd it’s rewarding.
\nBeing able to reliably forecast SEO performance can:
\n- \n
- \nWin you more clients. \n
- \nIncrease investment into SEO. \n
- \nChallenge unrealistic business targets. \n
But with so many unknowns – algorithm updates, implementation issues and economic challenges – how can you possibly predict the future?
\nIt’s possible. I’ll show you how to embrace this uncertainty.
\nIntroducing Forecasting For SEO.
\nWho am I?
\nI’m Andrew Charlton and I’ve been working in SEO for over 10 years.
\nI’ve successful led agency teams, and consulted on some of the largest brands in the UK.
\nSome of that time I spent as a forecasting sceptic. I always thought it was impossible to project SEO performance.
\nBut like SEO, the same mysterious complexity drew me to forecasting. And the more I learned about it, the more I understood and valued it.
\nSo much so, I now build forecasts for many SEO agencies and businesses across the world with FutureThought.
\nI want to share everything I’ve learned and the principles I’ve tried and tested in this course.
