New Year, New Goals? 🎯 The start of the year is prime time for setting goals. But a goal without structure? It’s just a wish. For SEOs, goal frameworks can make the difference between growth and guesswork. Here are 3 proven frameworks you can use: 1️⃣ 𝐎𝐊𝐑𝐬 Objective: What you want to achieve (ambitious, qualitative). Key Results: How you’ll measure success (specific, quantitative). Example: Increase organic traffic by 30% this quarter. 2️⃣ 𝐒𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound. Example: Hire 2 senior SEOs by March to scale client delivery. 3️⃣ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟒𝐃𝐗 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 (𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧) Focus on the Wildly Important Goals (WIGs). Act on lead measures (the actions that drive results). Keep a compelling scoreboard to track progress. Create a cadence of accountability. 👉 Which framework do you swear by?
