- Where to find data on you and your competitors Understand what it means and… … build an effective campaign around it
- A few years ago, people didn’t even know what social media was, let alone how it could be used for business A few years before that, business owners were still trying to figure out the best way to use email 10 years ago, some business owners were still trying to figure out why they needed a web page Today, marketing is changing faster than ever – not only do you need a website, you need to be building you customer database, you need email marketing, now you need a facebook profile, a twitter profile, YouTube profiles and ways to populate it all with content and provide direct engagement!
- A Marketing Director at a large hotel group who wants to leverage a contest to target people 35 years or older who have a college education and an income of $100k+. He wants to leverage social media to build a fan base of potential customers and needs to be able to directly communicate with them outside of social networks. He sees the benefit in tracking performance and increasing the amount of customer data they can obtain. But , he doesn’t know where to begin…
- Here’s where Jeff should begin [talk about each point] Pic = Get out of your comfort zone
- Again, here’s the target audience that Jeff is trying to find
- Since the target is all about demographics, we’ll start with Quantcast.com – a site that, among other things, does a good job of summarizing the demographics of websites
- The percentages on the left are for the specific site, the numbers of the right are a index compared to the internet average. This helps us see where some sites are stronger than average in specific demographics These are the top 5 social networks as of June 2010 Facebook = 55% female, almost half (42%) are 18-34, 32% make over $100k, over half have college educations YouTube = is the most diverse site of the five MySpace = has an above average amount of 13-17 year olds, with little spending power and no college education Twitter = similar to Facebook in demographics Tagged = 58% female, over half are 35-49 with incomes from $0 - $60k and almost 60% do not have a college education The two sites that fit Jeff’s target demographics the best are Facebook and Twitter, here’s why…
- Go through the bullets
- Now that Jeff knows where his audience is located, he can dig a little deeper and find out what is competition is doing.
- Go through the bullets
- Compete.com offers both free data and additional insights with a paid subscription Review the bullets
- It’s easy to use… just type in 1-5 sites that you would like to view and click “compare”
- Google insights is extremely powerful There are small updates that are continually made, which continues to increase it’s effectiveness Review the bullets
- When using Google Insights, you can compare by: Terms Location Time ranges Each one has it’s own value and depends on the data you want to understand. Terms will probably be used the most, but there are times when you want to be able to see search volume comparisons between separate locations or one year vs. another.
- Make insights do the work for you. Walk users through the sections.
- Insights also provides access to how people are searching for the words you are comparing. This helps identify variations of what people type to search as well as related terms that are growing in popularity
- Because Jeff is planning to include paid search within his campaign, understanding where people search for your competition is important. In the composite map, the search volume is highest where the dots are black. Knowing this will help Jeff pick and choose which regions will be most effective and have the highest search volumes
- This is on a linear scale. Viewing in this format helps showcase which ones are really standing out
- Across twitter, there are a ton of people that are searching for a hotel. Using the advanced search tools on Twitter, Jeff can narrow searches down by term and geographical location of where the tweets are coming from. This helps Jeff measure possible engagement and conversations that can be started between consumers and his brand. It’s all about dialog and not about sales. A good approach is making sure that people remember your brand on an emotional level and not as a brand that tried to sell them something on Twitter
- SpyFu also offers two versions (free/pay) It offers amazing insight into what websites are doing in regard to both organic and paid search campaigns
- This keyword overlap chart shows the number of keywords and the actual keywords, that are common between all three, two sets or are just for the one company. Jeff is able to use this to find keywords that will be good to use in his own campaign.
- Jeff learns that all competitors are using paid search, this chart shows the top three along with their spends.
- As blogs became popular – and businesses started picking up how they can be used, we can see a huge increase in the number of results
- With recent improvements made to the traffic estimator, Jeff can use this to get a good idea of what his budget should be and how much traffic he’ll be able to generate from specific keywords
- If Jeff wants to be number 1 anytime someone searches, by name, for his top five competitors, he would have to spend $23,000 to $35,000 per day (which would generate 15k-16k clicks) and be exposed to an estimated 30 million searches per month
