Wheat and Chaff of Search Analytics

Andrew Spoeth, Enquiro Search Solutions, Inc

Calculate the real value of search in a multi-channel integrated campaign, and know how to show it. With the mounds of data that marketers now have at their disposal, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the data that truly matters. This is especially true in complex, multi touch-point campaigns. Your department is spending time with social media, investing in online advertising, sponsoring trade shows, syndicating content, and spending money on search. In order to make budget decisions for SEO and PPC, you need to know how these are contributing to the bottom line. We’ll look at examples of companies have successfully done this, marketers that know the “how” and “how much” of their search programs. And the right lens on search analytics not only allows us to make smarter budget decisions. It can also drive product development, behavioral scoring, and social media strategy.
