THE MOVE TO IMPLICIT SEARCH
EVOLUTION OF SEARCH
My vision when we started Google years ago was
that eventually you wouldn't have to have a search
query at all. You'd just have information come to
you as you needed it.
- Sergey Brin, Google

CHANGING CONSUMER ATTITUDES
EVOLUTION OF SEARCH
About three-quarters of US internet users are concerned about how
tech companies are using their data for commercial purposes, and
only about 1 in 10 are OK with that data being used for relevant ads,
according to an April 2019 survey by the Internet Innovation
Alliance (IIA) and CivicScience.

20. CASE STUDY
EDUCATION VERTICAL
BACKGROUND
A leading online higher-education portal with more than 2 million adult visitors
each month wanted to increase student signups while keeping CPAs at or below
$20.
SOLUTION
This education advertiser leveraged Perform Media’s Contextual Search ad
product to scale user acquisition efforts while improving CPA. Their use of
Perform’s two-click validation model and responsive ad formats helped drive
optimal performance. The Perform team further amplified results with publisher
targeting, bid adjustments and keyword expansion.
RESULTS
Perform Media drove 51,000 conversions between February and
November 2018. Monthly conversions increased 4,000% from
the first month of launch. We achieved a 10.4% conversion rate
with $19.00 CPAs and exceeded the client’s CPA target. Since
launch average CTR doubled and CPCs declined -27%.
TOP PUBLISHERS:
Perform Media has been a great addition to
our marketing mix and has driven strong
results, exceeding our performance goals.
We thoroughly appreciate the responsive,
capable team that we work with and their
ability to continue driving campaign and
platform improvements.

21. CASE STUDY
TECH TELCO
BACKGROUND & GOALS
Perform Media Search provides Tech Telco marketers with direct, transparent
access to top performing sites across the Media.net publisher network with over
85% reach in the US. CPA goals for onsite actions were brand dependent and
ranged from $3.72 to $14.00. Generally brands with less brand awareness had
higher CPA targets, and those with more brand awareness had lower CPA
targets.
SOLUTION
Marketers used Perform Media’s two-click validation model, which leverages
best in class contextual relevance targeting and generates related-topics
keyword pages on top Media.net publishers. Using this product, marketers
avoided accidental clicks and upon ad click, users were taken to the marketer’s
landing page to fill in the lead gen form.
Perform Media’s lead-generation campaign optimization algorithm allowed for
the target CPA to be met or exceeded throughout the campaign flight.
RESULTS
Perform Media generated 2,000 formfills per quarter and
consistently
surpassed lead-gen CPA targets by 32%. Some marketers
exceeded the industry average CTR at 24.04%.
Perform Media’s non-brand traffic was 35%
more efficient than standard search and
22% more efficient than the search partner
network.

22. CASE STUDY
AUTO MANUFACTURERS
BACKGROUND & GOALS
Three of the top automotive manufacturers came to Perform Media to reach our
unique audience of in-market auto shoppers - at scale via a marketplace driving
efficient cost per engagements.
SOLUTION
Each of the top manufacturers leveraged Perform Media’s unique ad formats,
including our unique user pre-qualification model, targeting our engaged
audience throughout the funnel process.
RESULTS
All three automotive manufacturers reached engaged buyers and scaled
campaigns while maintaining high CVRs and exceeding cost per engagement
goals.
Through our marketplace, these auto manufacturers captured a highly targeted
audience of auto consumers, which they engaged with throughout the sales
funnel, from discovery to research, through to purchase.
Campaigns scaled easily and continued to exceed performance goals - all
campaigns exceeded conversion and cost per engagement goals, by up to 89%.
