Why Is Marketing Analytics Important?
Marketing analytics enables marketers to be more efficient at their jobs by providing insights into customer trends and preferences. Not only will it provide your company with sales and lead generation applications, marketing analytics can minimize time and money wasted on digital marketing. By measuring, managing, and analyzing marketing performance, your company can spend less time and money on monitoring campaigns.

Fun fact, did you know that almost 75% of the entire North American population is online? A study done by the Lenskold Group in 2008 found through their research, “companies making improvements in their measurement and ROI capabilities were more likely to report outgrowing competitors and a higher level of effectiveness and efficiency in their marketing.”

  2. Develop a few paid search marketing campaigns: group keywords in relevant groups and write appropriate ad text to help improve your quality score. This will lower your bid and improve ad position.
  3. Analyze the results: displaying your keywords in ad text prove to the searcher and to Google that your ad is relevant to their search.
  4. Achieve natural search: Google estimates that 80% of searchers click on an organic result over a paid advertisement. Incorporate your best performing keywords into your website and continue to generate relevant content.
  5. Repeat ad nauseum: negative keywords are great because they prevent unnecessary clicks and spend, ensuring your advertisement displays only for applicable searches.
