1. Export Branded Search QueriesUse Search Console and analytics data to identify searches containing your brand, product names, services, and branded variations.
3. Identify High-Impression Low-Click QueriesThese may indicate that the search result does not sufficiently satisfy the user's expectations.
4. Analyze Landing PagesDetermine which pages currently receive branded traffic and whether they match the query's intent.
5. Find Commercial QueriesLook for branded searches involving pricing, products, services, plans, reviews, comparisons, locations, or purchase-related terms.
6. Measure Conversion PerformanceCompare conversion rates and revenue across branded keyword groups and landing pages.
7. Identify Missing DestinationsIf users search for a specific product or service but land on a generic page, create or improve a more relevant destination.
8. Improve Internal PathsConnect informational branded pages with relevant commercial destinations where appropriate.
9. Track Revenue QualityBranded conversions can represent existing demand, so distinguish direct conversion value from incremental acquisition where the business model allows.
