What Is SEO Benchmarking?

Benchmarking from an SEO standpoint means taking all of the key performance indicators of your website where it is currently, and recording various data points. Think of it as if you wanted to lose weight. You would measure your current weight and record the date and your current weight. This way in the future you would be able to know where you started so you can know exactly how much progress you’ve made over time.
