- Welcome to our VIP Webinar Series for CMRs
- Introduction to the speakers – BRIEF 5 minutes of who each person is and snippet of their bio
- Vic to let everyone know to tweet and share content + we will send you our latest eBook after the webinar.
- So, we’ll begin the webinar today with an overview of the Digital Search Landscape for YPThis slide ranks our top Online headings in terms of total Searches for 2012. What’s interesting to note when looking at the various headings outlined on this slide is the diversity that exists & the opportunity that this represents for various top industries.Worth noting as well, amongst the top 10 results, we can see Restaurants, Banks, Hotels, Pizza – all of which represent great opportunities for National customers.
- Similarly, when we look at our top Mobile headings, we observe similar patterns. Although the usage is different on mobile and we do observe some key differences in search behaviour, once again the landscape if very diverse and filled with great opportunities for many industry sectors.Again, amongst the top 10 results we find our same National contenders: Restaurants, Pizza, Banks & Hotels! So although mobile usage does create some unique opportunities, some patterns remain platform agnostic.
- More than ever before people are searching for information about businesses around them. And it’s much easier to do with the late surge in smartphone and tablet usage.But, to be chosen first, you need to be seen first! Here’s how – that’s where Priority Placement is critical to boost a business’s results within a crowded SERP.But it’s not just about being first… To actually be chosen (or clicked on in a list of results), it is critical that the business have all the relevant content that users are looking for (such as a complete address, reviews, deals, logos). This content and ensuring the content is accurate is the true enabler that drives conversion from the SERP to the MP and that ultimately will transform clicks into calls and advertising investment into revenue (ROI)!
- So, this brings me into our next section – the Yellow Pages Value StoryThe Yellow Pages Value Story starts with a very bold statement: Our properties generate over 9M UV’s & 23M Searches per month.But one very important piece of this is that YP.ca is just part of the story. Our properties also consist of C411, Canpages & RFD YP.ca & Canada411.ca alone account for – 6 million UVs per monthCanpages – 1.5 million UV’s per monthRed Flag Deals – 1.9 UV’s per monthAnd as a reminder, one investment in Priority Placement delivers Value across all these properties, which means one simple step for a huge opportunity!
- Now pushing this further, if we were to compare clicks across different media, we would not be comparing apples to apples. As an example, if you only looked at cost per click, YPG has a much higher cost per click than search engines do. This is why it’s so increadibly important to move the discussion from clicks to total number of calls. The platforms perform very differently and that’s why there is a higher click volume on search engines vs. YP.ca. We were able to calculate Click to call ratios by using over 4500 placement programs over the period of Sept 2011 to April 2012 which had both click volumes and call tracking studies. By looking at each of these programs and the number of clicks in a month and the number calls we could calculate the ratio of number of clicks per call. These ratios vary considerably by heading so we have a click to call ratio for most of our top headings.Overall, fewer clicks are required to generate a call on YP.ca when compared to other media, such as Google or Yahoo.
- But, as previously mentioned, to get clicks and calls, your clients need to be well positioned on the SERP.That’s why we have a complete mix of 5 online priority placement options to secure the optimal visibility for your clients.
- We have analysed the product performance data that we have collected on over 50,000 priority placement products we have sold to date, and we now know the specific results they deliver. Hence, we are now able to quantify for advertisers the increase in clicks and calls they can expect to receive by moving up the product ladder or by adding a specific product to their portfolio.
- SAY with EMPHASIS **** The information included in this visual is the #1 reason YPG has introduced new mobile products (3x more searches): the impressive increase of mobile usage in general and more so, the outstanding number of searches (it has tripled over the last 15 months) and consumers have downloaded our mobile apps 4.7 million times (apps = not only our yp.ca mobile app).SAY We launched our first mobile placement product 15 months ago, the MSP. A little over a year after, we needed to revisit our mobile priority placement strategy to align it with today’s reality.
- So, before we go on, we thought we could show you this case study, which demonstrates the Value that was delivered as a result of migrating a customers investment from Print only to Online.This case highlights a particular account that has multiple locations, but was not getting the online visibility that they needed.The account was revised so as to re-price the Print Buy in order to fund some Online Investment.This resulted in the client adding 10 online placement products to their portfolio for roughly the same overall investment.Client focus report includes call tracking studies for the client from 2011-2013Ad unit costs are based on Rates and Data adjusted to reflect an average discount. The discount acknowledges publisher incentive programs available to clients.Factors used in the analysis are industry standards: customer value, $1049.88, sales conversion rate, 32%; and profit margin, 25% (PAYS, 2009- The LSAPerfomance Tracking Report). ROI and CPC calculations are based on rate minus applicable discounts
- So, it’s clear and rather obvious that improved placement (or ranking or visibility) improves results that we can deliver to a client. If the client is not easily seen or noticed by consumers, they are far less likely to be chosen by a consumer. Advertisers can easily boost their sales by investing in stronger placement on YellowPages.ca to maximize their visibility. Positioning placement at the portfolio level means including the whole story: For example, advertisers can easily increase their online placement performance by an average of 30% by adding mobile placement – (and they can tailor both their online and mobile program to be competitive in both environments.)And increasingly, the benefits of placement are not only delivered via our YP.ca and our YP mobile platform – an advertisers’ placement investment pays off in preferred ranking on our other YPG properties and our partners search results too.
- Placement Products are not just about a position or ranking on a SERP – the value goes way beyond the YP.ca SERP…The YP Network allow Placement advertisers to:1 – Obtain prominent visibility on YP properties2 – Pushed for extra reach on parter sites and platforms3 – Pull more consumers from Search Engines like Google, Yahoo and BingThis integrated solution means our customers benefit from all of the properties and partnerships that YPG has built so that no matter where or how consumers are looking – they will find the business, product and/or service they need right in their own neighborhood. In a simple WORLD, all the local search traffic - a user looking for a plumber in Toronto, for example - would come directly to YP.ca or one of our other owned an operated properties. However, the world of search is much more complex. Users now have more and more ways to access local business information.At YPG, your advertiser’s digital profile is disseminated across our extensive digital network. This includes:exposure both online and on mobile our own extensive universe of owned and operated properties partnerships with many well-known online playersThis network allows YPG to play a critical role in two important ways:For major Internet players – YPG is the trusted source of business informationFor advertisers – YPG simplifies digital marketing by disseminating their critical business information and content wherever consumers are looking. So, the Yellow Pages Digital Network can not only help extend the general reach and exposure of our business listings and content but ALSO helps extend the specific PRIORITY PLACEMENT BENEFITS of our advertisers.
- One simple investment, delivers all this value and reaches ready to buy consumers, no matter how and where they search
- Millions of YellowPages.ca Search Results every month start on search engines. That’s because the high relevancy of Yellow Pages listings means they get indexed and ranked higher by search engines. That combined with our strategic partnerships ensures that we pull in additional ready-to-buy consumers from search engines to generate incremental value for our customers.
- But that’s not all we do for our Priority Placement advertisers…Having a Priorityplacement product (such as SP or GSP) obviously gives premium placement on all relevant search results on YP.ca. (#1 on slide)In this example, we’re looking for Pizza in Montreal. YPG is always looking for new ways to push our advertiser’s data in additional relevant contexts. Additional exposure is provided to all priority placement advertisers on the business profile of related non-advertisers – with preference going to GSP and SP over L2, etc. (#2 on slide)Another example is to have relevant placement advertisers (being pushed to) appear on a business name search for a non-advertisers (below the ‘searched for’ business).All additional impressions, clicks and calls from these additional exposures are captured in YellowPagesAnalytics.
- And we also give premium exposure to Priority Placement advertisers for relevant searches on Red Flag Deals.
- So, let’s look into one final case study to demonstrate the power of YPG’s Digital Network.I just want to start by saying here that although we are referring to a specific advertiser, the information contained here is available in the public domain and we will not be divulging anything that is not already available to the public.So, this particular advertiser, Roto-Rooter, purchased a GSP in Plumbing Contractors / Vancouver. And this GSP rotates along with 2 others in the first 3 positions on YP.ca
- But purcshasinga GSP also means obtaining prime visibility on Canpages.caI remind you that Canapages represents an additional 1.5M UV’s per month
- Let’s talk about our Yahoo deal. Not only are we pushing our relevant business information to populate the search results. But we are ALSO giving priority to our online product placement advertisers in these results.The Yahoo deal, launched on October 10, 2012 represents YPG’s largest YellowAPI deal to date, whereby Yahoo integrated Yellow API into their online search results. When a user searches for plumbers in Vancouver, 5 local search results will be pulled live from YellowAPI . Notice that with YellowAPI, we also push the ratings from their YP listings into yahoo as well. This really makes the listing pop-out from the pack. So the importance of telling advertisers to get their customers to provide ratings and reviews becomes more important as this rating will also be distributed through to yahoo. If the user clicks on any of the five businesses listed – they will be taken to the YP (co-branded) business profile page of that business. If the user clicks on “plumbers near Vancouver” (click) – they will be taken to the relevant YP (co-branded) search results page for a complete set of results. What is really exciting is that (click) the top five listings that will be presented to yahoo users will be that of our top paying advertisers. This definitely increases the value of our priority placement products as they will now directly be pushed into one of the top search engines in Canada for local queries. This also means a significant increase in the trackable performance in YP Analytics: clicking on any of the 5 business listings will direct users to the business profile pages and clicking on more local listings will generate the relevant search results page from YP.ca
- Now, pushing this case study one step further.Here we see the power of the YP.ca’s SEO in delivering the YP local lisiting for Roto Rooters in the first page of results. Hence pulling in even more consumers to contribute to the overall value of one simple investment.
