SEO planning is important because things change SO quickly!
If you’re not monitoring it, you won’t react fast enough to change.

Reviewing your core metrics and goals each quarter will show you a current picture of your journey. It will show if you’re on track or if you need to pivot your strategy to meet your KPIs and goals for the year.
You’ll find what you need in your Google Analytics dashboard, but other SEO tools, like SEMrush or UberSuggest.
