- Use paid data to estimate and derive value as well.Paid data provides a couple interesting things. It tells you what the market feels a word is worth, higher costs for words tend to indicate more competition or greater value to attaining those customers. There’s a reason credit card type words are so expensive. A CPA may be $250 or more, but Credit Cards provide a long lifetime value.
- There are a number of ways to measure your worth.Through immediate sales.Through generated leadsThrough a proxy value, which can be attained from surveys and 3rd party data, to estimate impact to offline or other sales.
- Share of voice is a great metric, if used correctly. I like it for organic search, but not paid. It tells me if we are making headway against competitors as well which competitors are acting aggressively.Also understanding your keyword universe, what is the diversity like for the keywords driving traffic to your site? And think about segmenting this from branded and non-branded.Follow you 10 most important keywords. Measure how they perform, and what they are actually doing for you.More importantly track 5 critical pages to you, these should be your rainmakers, how are you improving them?
- Remember IAC? Yeah, think about tracking that if you can, look at keyword overlap, how many organic words also show up in your paid search report? Those are the onese to measure IAC against.Know which keywords have the greatest variance and longtail opportunity, you can get this information from Google adwords, by looking at exact and phrase match data.Figure out which pages are driving high volume of SEO traffic that you may not be looking at, are they converting well? If no look at what keywords are driving people to those pages and optimize the user experience against their intent.
- Lastly think about how your search campaigns can work together and save costs or spend more efficiently on paid search.Google released this study, it’s fascinating in that it looks at cannibalization, it shows that the old stand by of 1+1=3 is not always true. More importantly what this doesn’t cover is what the traffic actually does on your website. Does organic traffic convert better or paid for a particular page, think about how you can test for.
