Success Metrics

Success in this role will be measured by the candidate's ability to drive meaningful business growth through organic channels by increasing qualified traffic, conversions, bookings, orders, and overall revenue. Performance will also be evaluated based on improvements in search visibility, including growth in organic traffic, clicks, impressions, keyword rankings, click-through rates (CTR), and visibility across both traditional search engines and AI-powered search experiences.
