SEO in Practice: +55% Impressions, +17% Clicks

#seo #html #website

I recently ran a focused SEO optimization experiment on my site. Instead of chasing big overhauls, I made small, measurable changes:

  • Meta tags rewritten across ~20 articles
  • Low‑value pages cleaned up or removed
  • A few quality backlinks added

6‑week results (Google Search Console):

Metric Before After Change ------------------------------------------ Impressions 88,000 137,000 +55% Clicks 850 1,000 +17.5% CTR 0.96% 0.71% -26%

6‑week results (Yandex Webmaster):

Metric Before After Change ------------------------------------------ Impressions 29,000 27,500 -10% Clicks 800 950 +18.7% CTR 2.75% 3.45% +21%
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The takeaway: you don’t always need a massive content push. Sometimes, tightening the screws on what you already have delivers the biggest lift.
