The unexplored potential of internal search and behavioural data may not be the first tool you consider when devising an SEO strategy. Yet, it offers an indispensable approach to understanding your customers’ wants and needs. Many businesses might not fully leverage this comprehensive toolbox, thereby missing out on critical insights.
At the heart of this strategy lies a single axiom – context is key to SEO success. Internal search and behavioural data allow businesses to understand the intent behind customer preferences. Instead of focusing solely on using the right keywords, businesses can use this data to discover patterns and preferences which inform their SEO strategy. However, that’s just the topmost layer of the iceberg.
When we regard the lens of relevance, data from internal searches far outperforms many third-party keyword tools. Unlike more generic data, internal search data offers insights that are actionable and tailored to your company’s SEO goals and overall business objectives. This accuracy propels established websites into high relevance spheres, seamlessly aligning with the users’ searches.
In the quest for SEO supremacy, the allure of chasing high-volume search terms to outrank competitors may seem attractive, a faint low-hanging fruit. However, taking the time to understand user behaviours could unlock more sustainable, long-term SEO success. Google sees a staggering number of unique, never-before-seen searches every day presenting fresh opportunities for businesses to tap into.
The distinction between attaining high rankings and capturing valuable traffic is crucial. It’s not just about capturing any traffic; it’s about capturing traffic that adds business value. For this, internal search SEO is a powerful tool, enabling businesses to attract users that match their target profile.
This approach extends beyond your webpage into the mobile realm. As more users make searches on their handheld devices, mobile SEO has become a crucial part of an effective SEO strategy. On-page SEO and tools like schema markups are equally critical, helping identify and fix crawl errors that can negatively impact your search rankings.
While the surface of this SEO gold mine has been scratched, there exist vast opportunities for businesses willing to go a step further. The potential of internal search and behavioural data is endless.
It’s a call to uncover these opportunities by experimenting with new strategies within your businesses. With a carefully crafted approach, combining technical SEO focus areas and the insights from your internal data, businesses can carve a path towards sustained SEO success.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
