Benchmarking & trends are analyses that of historical data to compare the performance of a company and with other companies in the same or similar marketplace. Without it, a company cannot know how successful its performance is in a market or whether the company performs a specific task better than a competitor does. Comparing a company’s performance to a rival is essential to improving that performance.
Why are benchmarking & trends important?
Benchmarking is a fundamental tool for creating a company’s strategic plan and monitoring its progress. Clearly defining and stating the goals and purpose of a benchmark is essential for valid data collection. Website benchmarking can include metrics for site performance, marketing performance, financial performance, search performance, and usability, but how many benchmarks are established depends on the business.
