> Track organic traffic, keyword rankings, click-through rate and Core Web Vitals over time to spot trends early.

## What to monitor

Track **organic traffic** (from search), **keyword rankings** (your position for target keywords), **click-through rate** (impressions vs. clicks), and **Core Web Vitals** (page speed). Monitor weekly or monthly to spot trends.

## Use Search Console data

Google Search Console gives you real data: search queries people use to find you, your average position, CTR, and which pages need improvement. It's the source of truth for SEO performance.
