  • #3 1 – reasons goals results2 – have it know about it use it3 – get reports act on them measure conversions4 – multiple device access mobile older browsers5 – use it consistently is it empty not sure why have it / need it
  • #4 Most websites have some form of metrics systemMost of those are running Google AnalyticsI am assuming you already have this if not - fear not it can be done easily
  • #5 3 reports you need to use1 – setting up YOUR goals and measuring them2 – what sources are working for YOU3 – what content is popular / not4 – going a little deeper with customisationReports are complex without experience need a little time understand the platformhappy to answer questions after this event
  • #6 Rads.me.uk -> meetdraw post – how helps local digitaltwitter worked best after direct links – could be untracked twitter1 - which to maintain / improve2 - e.g. tagged email campaigns – next tip- which ppc campaigns are working best
  • #7 Rads.me.uk and meetdraw postmeetdraw post was generating majority of traffic which in turn boosted traffic to homepage hugely
  • #8 FinallyIf comfortable with analytics encourage to look at building your own custom reportsEasy, guided, step by step, creation process
  • #9 Check you have itIf not enlist some help to get it operationalRemember your loginUse the 2 standard reports to begin withTry different promotional activitiesAct on the information
  • #10 Really think about your postingAre you writing something you understand or your audience?Look at analytics see whats popular / not
  • #11 Bin Man – too much technical language?Editor – Poor grammar and uninteresting?Physicist – Written for a child?
  • #12 Applies to blog posting as well as static content writing
  • #13 Keyword stuffingSurplus words
  • #14 These might not be questions for you and your team.Try and ask your customers and people who will give you a completely honest opinion
  • #15 We can do copywriting based on keyword research on Google analysis of your target market(s)Try yourself first
  • #16 Picked on these cause they are common culprits for lack of consistencyApplies to all forms of digital presence – website, email, social and advertising14:00
  • #17 Looking mainly at twitter but applies across the board – why have a social presence?Deals, offers and competitionsQuick customer supportProduct and service feedbackBrand awareness, loyalty and closer to customersPromote blogs, websites and other newsThese uses work becauseThe message is focusedResponses are timely – small news delivered at the right time – better than a whole report ages laterThey are constantly active channels
  • #19 Something for all companies to try now there is a free version – paid version also monitors facebook
  • #21 People like to put a face to the name – faces of Virgin and Apple?Not the same as “no press is bad press - Rather not have a presence than have a bad oneMore than a third of businesses check candidates social presence – stands to reason that they thoroughly check out you tooDo you have a social policy to control what your employees say about your brand?Remember online lives forever123people.co.uk – stumbled on artwork from 1st year uni 2002 still available even though my portfolio went years ago.
