You can improve your content and landing pages based on this report. You can discover phrases that were used by visitors for their searches and extract top quality keywords.
In addition, you can use search referral data to track visitor activity. One way to get this information is to set the Landing Page Secondary Dimension feature to view which webpages were accessed during a search using encrypted search.
While you actively track social media websites that direct valuable web traffic to your website, you should not ignore other sites that do their fair bit in doing the same. You should look for domains other than social media sites that have delivered top quality visitors with more page views per visit and lower bounce rates.
You should also ensure that you confirm the objective of each reference, whether that reference or link is SEO friendly, and details of the author including his or her media profile details. In case you find that the reference is positive, you should certainly thank that author by way of a comment, a post, or an email.

The above tips should help you uncover hidden treasures of information that can be further refined and used to improve your reach and revenues. These tips should definitely form part of your B2B SEO strategy in the coming year.
