streamline overlapping and complicated
areas from eight pieces of legislation into
one consumer Bill
âą
get some money back after one failed
repair of faulty goods (or one faulty

demand that substandard services are

A new, integrated approach:

Included online media & bloggers to media

Identified where the messages werenât
landing

bodiesâ

âą
âą
âą
âą
âą
Donât forget that businesses donât live in the
âentrepreneur vacuumâ
The standards for quality content are just as high with a
business audience - donât be sloppy
Understand the emotional drivers for sharing /
contributing - what does it say about them when they
share your content?
Donât ignore niche audiences - they are knowledgeable,
very engaged and overlap with mainstream
Use as many different voices to speak with your
audiences as is needed - invest in your spokespeople

120. The BIG Question
WHY DOES YOUR WEBSITE EXIST?
What is the PRIMARY purpose of the site e.g. orders, leads,
brand awareness, etc?
Primary purpose = macro conversion
Supporting purposes = micro conversions e.g. email
newsletter sign up, brand awareness, etc
121. What counts as a lead?
In context of a B2B website:
-
Filling out a form
âE-mail for more infoâ link
Unique phone number
Reaching âcontact usâ page
124. Why goals are vital
Goals + values = meaningful evaluation
Unlocks metrics like per visit value
Attribution analysis not possible
without goals and values
131. Universal Analytics
New version of GA tracking code
On and offline marketing contribution
Check out the Loves Data video on You Tube!
132. Summary
Google Analytics allows you to see the direct
and indirect value created by any marketing
channel against a defined goal (e.g. lead gen)
But only if you create goals with values!
