Methodology

How Korvex measures success.

After the first month, you have 30 daily scores showing trends, improvements from implemented recommendations, and new opportunities.

4

Day 90

Outcome measurement begins

With 90 days of data, Korvex measures the actual SEO impact of changes — ranking movement, traffic changes, and Koray score improvements.

5

Ongoing

Continuous monitoring and refinement

Daily scoring catches regressions, surfaces new opportunities, and refines recommendations based on measured outcomes.

What we don’t measure (yet).

We’d rather be honest about gaps than claim coverage we don’t have.

  • Backlink profile — we don’t crawl the link graph
  • Paid traffic impact — SEO-only measurement
  • Brand search volume — attribution is complex
  • Competitor pricing changes — out of scope
  • Social signals — correlation ≠ causation
