Here\u2019s how you can build a solid goal-setting framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"11-use-the-smart-framework\">Use the SMART framework<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) goals provide clarity and purpose. Imagine you want to boost traffic. A generic goal like &#8220;I want more visitors&#8221; is hard to act on.
