9. How many impressions am I losing?
Impression share is a great, and often underused
metric.
This is one of the simplest ways to understand an
account's performance and predict how well the
account can do if properly optimized.

10. Google gives you impression share
data.
Impression share is the number
of impressions you've received
divided by the estimated number
of impressions you were eligible
to receive.
Think of the advertising
landscape as a pie. You and your
competitors are all trying to get a
piece of that pie, and this metric
will help you keep track of your
percent.

11. Impression share report

12. Regional bidding
If you increase the size of
your region, you’ll see a
decrease in impression
share because your “pie” is
smaller now.

13. Where am I losing impressions?
When you combine impression share and quality
score pivot tables, you can easily see where you are
losing impressions and why - such as quality score,
bids, or budgets.

@bgtheory

14. Look at the impression data
We sorted by Search Lost IS to see areas of
opportunity.

15. Find Quality Score data
Then we built a
column to see
Quality Score
data by keyword.

16. Be able to compare the data
You can see impression share at the
campaign and ad group levels.
Quality Score data is only available from
AdWords at the keyword level. But you
can still compare them.
You could use AdWords scripts to track
Quality Score at the ad group level. Learn
how at deepfootprints.co.uk

17. An easier (manual) way

Or you can
identify ad
groups that are
missing
impressions
and manually
look at the
keywords
within.

18. If you are
smarter than
your
competitors,
and better
informed with
data,
You can spend
less and get
better results.
Why do you need
sophisticated
strategies in PPC?

19. Where does your company fit?
We think most of our webinar
guests are:
- marketing directors/leaders
- PPC pros
- CEOs/founders
at mid-market companies.
Mid-market companies are
somewhere between Fortune
500 and your local pizza shop.

20. Mid-market companies are cool!
Mid-market companies make
up around 40% of the US GDP.
There are 8Million US
businesses that make between
500K–500M in annual
revenue.

21. Mid-market companies are unique.
You need sophisticated
reporting and analysis
You tend to have small
marketing teams/limited
resources
Most mid-market companies run PPC in-house...
...or they work with an agency or consultant.

Unbounce.com.
This platform makes it ridiculously easy to launch
and test dozens, even hundreds, of different landing
pages for paid search programs. It's awesome for
both A/B testing as well as micro-targeting on
keywords and user intent.

23. Landing page tools like Unbounce allow
you to quickly build and A/B test
conversion-centric landing pages, which
means you can be very targeted with your
content.

24. You can choose from
templates, edit and publish
in minutes.

25. Another cool landing page tool.

@supnah
Segmentations based on your
actual visitors / users.
What if you could derive
segments from current users
who you've successfully "won"
and then target people like
them? Pulling social profile
data and other custom data
from site visitors, users or
buyers arms you with that data.

28. Problem: you don’t really know who
your visitors/buyers are.

@supnah
Social login paired with data analysis of the
resultant profile data will get you there. Tools like
Janrain to manage the user profiles, and others like
Umbel that can tie directly into Janrain data can
help you automate the process and even plug back
into PPC buys.

30. Increase site logins and usage with
social login tools.
Social login tools
have evolved to be
more suited to
helping your
marketing team gain
insight about who
your users/buyers
are and what they
like and want.

31. The next generation of social login
drives user data for marketers.
Users log into more sites using the same social login. You get info about who your
customers are and use it to inform social display targeting.

32. Data loves data.
So: a login tool tells you more about your customers
janrain.com
You can integrate to inform display targeting (or not)
umbel.com
And all this super
valuable information
allows you to build
highly informed
buyer/user profiles...

33. Now you know who to write ads for.

@jcgaudet
I often use the "Dimensions" tab
of AdWords, because you can
compare statistics in a variety of
different ways and download the
data. I can see stats for each
day and each day of the week to
figure out which days are
historically better, and I can
compare months to see trends.
It helps to see where
weaknesses and strengths rest
and what we can expect for the
next week, month, year, etc.
How can I keep an eye on
performance trends?

Producteev makes it easy to add
things via emails that are already
going out.
We just add Producteev to our bcc
field, and then we add #label_name
to our email subject lines, and
Producteev keeps track of all sorts of
advertiser-specific information we can
reference at any time.

40. Understand when and why.
“Sometimes we
need to know
when exactly we
started a
particular ad test,
or why
conversions
increased or
decreased so
markedly in April
2012.”

41. Alone, do you have the time and diversity
of strategy to manage sophisticated
campaigns well?
You can build out a large in-house team:
but they’re expensive, complicated and
time-consuming to hire, make space for,
manage.
Traditional agency models are often
motivated to spend your budget.
Plus... who’s really doing the work?
Mid-market search solutions
In-house PPC team (doing it yourself) Working with an agency

42. The ideal scenario: a tool for your
agency or in-house team.
You could have a team of experts doing
the work of PPC on your behalf. They
would work with your in-house person,
who would manage strategy.
They would be paid based on
performance goals you set,
meaning they would fight to get
YOU results.
They would collaborate within an
application that would allow them
to see the performance data they
need to succeed.
Your in-house team would have
control over their strategy and
visibility into ALL the data.

43. You can have both.
