A new feature at the service of all users and, in particular, of SEO consultants and agencies who want to demonstrate the possible quickly and clearly fruits of labor about sites: let’s talk about Rank Simulatora tool that precisely simulates and anticipates the impact of SEO optimization interventions on keywords and pages.

What is the SEOZoom Rank Simulator

How much will site traffic increase by managing to improve the positioning of a set of target keywords? This is a crucial question not only for those who work for the growth of your projectbut above all for those involved in supplying services and consultancy to customers, who clearly would like prospectuses of quantifiable numbers and results before entrusting the own management sitejust as they require constant updates on the results of the interventions in progress.

Thanks to SEOZoom there is now a tool that allows you to quickly get the answer to the problem: in the Tools area it is in fact available Rank Simulatora feature that precisely simulates the impact of the work of keyword optimizationestimating in particular the growth effect on the site which could have an improvement in the current positioning.

How the ranking simulation works

Rank Simulator is intuitive and easy to use: it all starts with entering the domain on which to run the simulation and from keyword selection to analyze. We can choose the keywords manually, typing them in the search bar and then adding them by clicking on the plus button, or – faster and more efficiently – import a list of keywords already reasoned, previously saved with the “Your keyword research” tool; besides, we can also save the list that we created in Rank Simulator, which will always be exported among our keyword research.

Now the simulation work begins: the tool allows us, in fact, to know the current ranking data and organic traffic of each keyword and estimate the levels achievable through improved positioning. In simpler terms, for each keyword we can know the estimated volume and the variation in quantitative terms by reaching the position in the SERP that we want or consider realistic (by default, the tool “pushes” us towards the first position, but we can also set the simulation on a position that is more concretely reachable from the site in question), and therefore discover the actual and total value of a strategic work of optimization on the set of keywords under analysis.

A work plan to achieve your goals

But this tool also offers another added value: by clicking on “Show work plan”, in fact, we get a sort of summary document which indicates the steps to achieve the estimated objectives, with the possibility of direct access to the necessary content planning.

First, on the screen we can read the quantification the impact of the optimization work, with an indication of the estimated value of traffic and visits, also in percentage terms.

And then, to facilitate the strategy, here comes the highlight part of Rank Simulator: the identification of the URLs to be improved or of the new content needed to intercept the keywords analyzed and achieve the expected results.

In practice, the tool creates a document (downloadable in .doc format) which precisely describes the Work Plan which can lead us to the improvement of simulated traffic, dividing the interventions between “Pages to be improved” and “New pages to be created”. As mentioned, the former are the ones they already have positioned keywords on Google but in positions of less visibility than the simulation, and which therefore require an activity of content improvement and of one SEO review (maybe even through link building actions). When the tool does not find reference pages for the keywords under analysis (that is, if the URLs are in positions beyond the fiftieth or if there is no content that intercepts them) it advises us to create new pages and therefore to create an optimized content according to the best practices of the SEO copywriting.

In both cases, the tool gives us immediate possibility of action, because it leads us directly to edit or to the creation of a content through the keys Schedule Article (which directs towards the Editorial Plan for publishers, with the possibility of assigning the article to the copywriters involved in the project) o Assistant (which brings us to SEOZoom’s Editorial Assistant).

Rank Simulator, an ideal tool for SEO agencies and consultants

Support with forecast data an estimate to be presented to customers, orient the consultancy work and optimization of the site towards more profitable pages and keywords or, simply, identify at a glance a keyword clusters on which to act as a priority for our project: there are many situations in which Rank Simulator it can prove to be a useful tool, speeding up and simplifying our daily activity.

Primarily, this applies to agencies, consultants And SEO specialists, as mentioned, who may encounter difficulties in communicating with site owner customers, who ask for “numbers” to understand the potential value of the optimization work. But also those who work on a personal blog may find benefits from using Rank Simulator such as ally in the search for priority to be given to activities and areas where there are more opportunities (and potential returns) to actually intervene and try to climb the SERPs.
