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.
