Traffic alone is a poor headline KPI for B2B SEO. A site with 5,000 organic visits and 20 SQLs is outperforming one with 30,000 visits and five irrelevant enquiries. The metrics that matter follow a chain: visibility, engagement, leads, pipeline, revenue.
Start with non-branded organic clicks and impressions, which show whether SEO is reaching buyers who don't already know you. Add organic Share of Voice to benchmark your visibility against competitors. Then connect organic sessions to key events: demo requests, contact forms, and calls tracked in GA4. From there, track organic MQLs, SQLs, pipeline value, and closed revenue attributed to organic search. Google Search Console and GA4 cover the visibility and engagement layers; your CRM closes the loop to pipeline.
