SEO Cycle: Follow Every Page From Published to Crawled, Found, Contacted and Lead
SEO cycle is a report in LiveChatBot that follows each page of your website through five steps: published, crawled by Google, found on Google, contacted (WhatsApp, call, form or chat) and lead. It shows where each page is stuck and gives a one-click next step, using only what LiveChatBot sees on your own site.
⚡ In short
- Five steps per page: published → crawled by Google → found on Google → got actions → brought leads.
- Counts beside the steps: visits, visits from Google, WhatsApp clicks, call clicks, forms, chats and leads.
- Money keywords show which page topics bring leads, so you write more around them.
- Every number is clickable and opens the list of pages behind it, with a button for the next step.
The idea
Publish → crawl → find → contact → lead, then again
Most SEO tools stop at rankings and clicks. The cycle keeps going until a person contacts you, then points you to the next page to write.
1
Published
The page exists: in your sitemap, or a visitor has opened it.
2
Crawled by Google
Googlebot was seen on it, or a visitor arrived from Google search.
3
Found on Google
At least one visitor came to it from a Google search.
4
Got actions
Someone clicked WhatsApp, clicked to call, filled a form or chatted.
5
Brought leads
Someone left a name, email or phone, on that visit or a later one.
6
Write more
Topics that bring leads become your next posts, and the cycle starts again.
Step 1
Published: which pages exist
The cycle starts with every URL on your website: the pages in your sitemap plus any page a visitor has opened. On WordPress sites, LiveChatBot also reads the publish date of each post and page, which makes the timings possible: how many days from publish to first Google crawl, to first Google visitor and to first lead.
A page that is published but never moves to step 2 is a page Google has not read yet. The fix is usually to link to it from a page that already gets traffic, or to ask for a crawl.
Step 2
Crawled by Google: has Google read it?
A page counts as crawled when Googlebot is seen on it, or when a visitor arrives on it from a Google search (Google cannot send people to a page it has never read).
Googlebot usually reads pages without running JavaScript, so the chat on the page cannot see it. Installing the free AutoSchedulePost WordPress plugin logs crawlers on your server, and they show here within an hour. See bot traffic detection and how to check if Googlebot visited my site.
Step 3
Found on Google: are people arriving from search?
This step counts pages where at least one visitor came from a Google search. It is the first proof that the page ranks for something real.
Visitors from WhatsApp, Instagram or direct links do not count here, because they do not prove the page is in Google. Read the traffic side in website visitor analytics, which shows every source and how many of its visitors take action.
Step 4
Got actions: did anyone reach out?
An action is anything that shows interest: a WhatsApp click, a call click, a form filled or a chat started, from any source. The What’s working section shows how visitors contact you and which sources produce actions.
WhatsApp buttons on your site carry a short reference code, so a WhatsApp message that arrives later can be matched to the page and button that sent it. See whatsapp click tracking.
Step 5
Brought leads: who left their details?
A lead is a visitor who left a name, email or phone number, on that visit or a later one. The lead is credited to the page where the visitor first landed, because that is the page that brought them to you.
This is the number that matters for a business. A page with 20 visits and 3 leads is worth more than a page with 2,000 visits and none. The step-by-step method is in how to track leads from SEO.
Money keywords
Find the topics that earn, then build around them
Each page’s target keyword is its address (slug). The report groups pages by keyword and marks money keywords: those whose pages bring actions and leads. A money keyword with only one or two pages around it is the quickest win: write supporting posts and link them to the page that already earns.
The All keywords by type table sorts every keyword into types such as money, action, rising, traffic, sleeping, waiting and missing (things visitors searched or asked in chat that no page covers). Download it as CSV. Read how to find money keywords and types of keywords in seo.
Next steps
A button for the next step on every page
Every number, badge and row is clickable and opens the list of pages behind it. Next to each page is the next step for its stage:
- Waiting (not crawled): ask for a crawl.
- Crawled, few visitors: improve the page with better sections, an FAQ and related links.
- Visited, no actions: add an FAQ and a clear call to action; see landing page optimization.
- Brought leads: write the next idea for that topic.
- Missing keyword: write a new page for it.
With AutoSchedulePost connected, each button sends the job to your WordPress site and the page shows “Sent” with the date. Ideas also appear in blog ideas from customer questions.
Turning the cycle
How to run the SEO cycle every month
- Open Reports → SEO cycle and pick one website and 90 days.
- Look at the five step boxes. The biggest drop between two steps is where to work this month.
- Click that step to list its pages, and use the next-step button on the top five.
- Open Money keywords and pick one topic that already earns. Write two supporting posts for it and link them to the earning page; see topic clusters for small business.
- Check Missing keywords for questions no page answers, and add the best one to your writing list.
- Come back next month. Pages move along the steps as Google reads them and visitors find them.
An example (illustrative)
A bridal shop sees 8 pages published and 7 crawled, but the step boxes show that almost all leads come from one page, the ivory lace wedding gown page. Its keyword is marked as a money keyword with only one page around it. The owner writes two supporting posts, one on choosing a wedding dress color and one on veil styles, and links both to the bridal page. Missing keywords also show “is alteration included?”, so that question goes into the page’s FAQ.
Good to know
Honest limits
No Search Console
It does not show Google rankings or impressions; it uses your own site’s data.
Publish dates need WordPress
On other sites the “days to” timings stay empty; the steps still work.
Crawls need the plugin
Without the WordPress plugin, a crawl is only proven by a Google visitor.
