Editor's Notes
- #15 What do CMOs care about? When we meet with CMOs they are less concerned about marketing tactics and more concerned about the brand and how they are going to increase performance. are they doing better than the competition? Are they doing better than last year? How are their investments paying off and the ultimate dashboard has to show that. We typically see around 50% or more traffic to a site through the organic channel. Bridging the communication and performance gap is the key to gaining better buy in at the board level.
- #16 I love the dashboard in the car. Not only do I like how it looks, I like how it provides me with a lot of valuable information. There is a computer screen that displays GPS information, as well as some statistical information regarding the gas mileage and several other things I do not pretend to understand. To me, the dashboard of a car provides two types of information; current status and summary. Current status information provided could include speed, gas levels, RPM, tire pressure, and possible engine problems. This is all critical information while I am operating the car. Based on the information in front of me, I can make adjustments as needed to my speed, or decisions regarding when I need to stop for gas or service. Without this type of information in front of me, I would probably owe a lot of money for speeding tickets, and I would often find myself on the side of the road because I ran out of gas, had a flat tire, or broke down. Summary information could include statistical information such as average mile per gallon. This type of information is gathered by looking at data over a period of time. Summary information, such as gas mileage, helps me understand the cost of operating my car. Imagine if I could enter the cost of gas over the past several months into the computer in my car, then the dashboard could show me information like how much it costs me to go to the store, or to drive into the city. Displaying how much it costs to drive to the store instead of the average gas mileage would instantly show me something I understand; money.
- #17 So as mentioned earlier, we speak to CMOs all the time and these are their questions about SEO and marketing performance across their programs in general. Regardless of B2B or B2C, performance is ultimately measured at the bottom line and as we have seen over the past several years the CMO and CFO alignment continues to strengthen and accountability for the marketer also continues to rise.. Given the registration we seen a tremendous amount of VPs and CMOs on the line. Would you agree that these are the 7 key questions but especially about SEO which is much harder to quantify FOR THIS CLIENT……………………
