Target value

What is a target value?

A target metric is a predefined, measurable metric that you use to evaluate the success of a marketing or SEO initiative, such as monthly inquiries, conversion rate, visibility index, top-10 rankings, or CTR. Without a defined target metric, any discussion of success is based on gut feeling rather than facts. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we set realistic targets based on actual data, industry benchmarks, and a timeline, we don’t promise specific rankings or lead counts, but we document in advance how we’ll measure success.
