Track on-page SEO with Website Screenshot History

Izzy Fletcher • 26 September 2024

It’s not very clear from the title what ‘Website Screenshot History’ actually does, or how it can benefit your agency. So let’s break it down.

What Are Audit Screenshots?

If you’ve used Insites before you’ll know that we help sales and production teams track a client’s online presence over time. Previously, agencies have been able to track scores for on-page SEO areas like headings, mobile optimisation and booking widgets. For example, maybe when the first audit showed ‘headings’ at 60/100 but now (thanks to the production team) it shows 72/100. Woohoo! But, we love making things visual!

So it made sense that we developed ‘Website Screenshot History’. This new feature works alongside the original audit history features, but focuses on the evolution of a clients website at face-value. Production teams are now able to track a glow up over time and see their efforts of their behind-the-scenes work, in all it’s beauty!

What Are the Benefits?

Now you get the picture (see what I did there), let’s explore some of the areas that can be tracked visually with the homepage screenshots:

  • Keywords & content optimisation: Production teams can see if keywords are well incorporated into essential areas such as title tags, header tags & body content. And if image content fresh and relevant.
  • Content structure & readability: A website dedicated to improvement should have the correct header structure, a strong readability to improve user experience and relevant placement of call-to-actions
  • Mobile-friendliness: Production teams can track changes to enhance mobile optimisation and user experience on small screens

Who Does This Impact?

This feature will mostly benefit SEO folk who put the work in to optimise a client’s reach in search engines. This feature works alongside other tacking features, and gives SEO production teams a clear and broad understanding of their work at a glance. Plus, sales teams can use it show clients how their website has developed visually overtime.

Small business owners often view keyword research as an optional extra or a luxury they can't afford. As a digital marketing provider, you know the truth is quite the opposite - poor keyword research can silently drain their resources while delivering underwhelming results. Let's explore how to effectively communicate these hidden costs to your SMB clients in language they'll understand. The invisible drain on marketing budgets When speaking with small business owners, it's crucial to frame keyword research as an investment rather than an expense. Without proper research, your clients are essentially throwing money into digital marketing efforts that may never reach their intended audience. For instance, a local plumber targeting generic terms like "plumbing services" instead of location-specific phrases such as "emergency plumber in Southampton" is competing unnecessarily with national brands and services far outside their coverage area. This means higher costs per click, lower conversion rates, and marketing spend that delivers minimal return. Time wasted on creating the wrong content Another hidden cost that resonates with busy small business owners is time wastage. Without strategic keyword research, businesses often produce content that simply doesn't align with what their potential customers are actually searching for. Explain to your clients how creating blog posts, service pages or social content without keyword insights is like opening a shop without researching what products the local community wants to buy. They might be investing hours creating content about boiler maintenance when their potential customers are frantically searching for "emergency pipe repair near me." Lost opportunities to competitors Perhaps the most compelling hidden cost is the competitive disadvantage. While your SMB clients hesitate on keyword research, their competitors may be capturing valuable search visibility.` Show your clients real examples of local competitors ranking well for lucrative keywords they could be targeting. This concrete demonstration of missed opportunities often resonates more effectively than theoretical discussions about SEO principles. Diminished trust and authority Small businesses rely heavily on reputation and trust. Without strategic keyword targeting, they miss opportunities to establish themselves as local authorities in their field. Explain how properly researched content that answers specific customer questions positions them as experts. Without this research foundation, they're missing chances to be the business that appears when a potential customer searches "how to choose the right accountant for my small business" or "best family dentist for nervous children." Making the case for proper keyword research When presenting solutions, focus on these practical benefits: More efficient marketing spend : Target customers who are actually looking for their specific services in their specific location. Better conversion rates : Attract visitors with actual purchase intent rather than casual browsers. Strategic content development : Stop guessing what content to create and start knowing exactly what your customers want to learn. Measurable results : Show how properly researched keywords provide clearer metrics for success. Start small and demonstrate value For SMBs unconvinced about keyword research, suggest starting with a focused pilot project. Choose one service area or product line and perform proper keyword research for just this segment. Track the results carefully and use this as evidence for expanding your research to other areas of the business. This approach allows sceptical clients to see real-world benefits without committing to a comprehensive strategy upfront. Once they witness the improved performance, the hidden costs of poor research become much more tangible. Translation before selling Communicating the hidden costs of poor keyword research isn't about technical jargon or intimidating statistics. It's about translating SEO principles into business language that resonates with small business owners' practical concerns: wasted money, wasted time, missed opportunities, and diminished market position. By framing keyword research as a crucial investment rather than an optional expense, you help your SMB clients understand why cutting corners here ultimately costs them more in the long run.
