Social Media: People First, "Rules" Second (#MozCon 2016)

Dana DiTomaso

You can follow all the “rules” about perfect post length, perfect time to post, perfect image size, and everything else and still not see any financial impact from social media. Dana doesn't think social media should always revolve around community building and group hugs. When you show the right people what they want to see, when they want to see it, you'll start attributing revenue increases to social media efforts.

PPC Reports That Matter #CTAConf 2017

Dana DiTomaso

Reporting shouldn't start and end at an automated email, sent once a month. You need to build better reports, ones that illustrate how your PPC campaigns are performing but also where they're lagging, and what you can do to improve them. In PPC, every penny matters, so why not maximize that spend with reports that matter? Presented at CTA Conference, June 27 2017. Accompanying document can be found at kickpoint.ca/ctaconf2017

Digital marketing is more challenging than it has ever been. And it’s not getting any easier. Between the constant demands to show immediate ROI on every dollar spent to the overwhelming cluster of marketing technology tools, it can be hard just to keep your head above water. But, for a marketer to be successful today, he or she has to cut through the noise and focus on doing fewer things that deliver big results. In this session, Jeff Perkins will talk about how to survive and thrive in this ever-changing digital age.

What KPIs should SEOs work towards? | BSEO September 2021

Alice Logan

This document discusses key performance indicators (KPIs) that search engine optimizers (SEOs) should track. It identifies three types of KPIs: primary KPIs like organic clicks, sessions, and conversions; segway KPIs measured by different teams like core web vitals scores and pagespeed; and extracurricular KPIs beyond SEO like engagement and revenue metrics. The document emphasizes that KPIs help SEOs define website performance, optimize for relevant keywords, increase traffic from search, and understand how their work contributes to broader business goals.

This document outlines tips for SEO professionals considering freelancing or currently working as a freelancer. It discusses both the pros and cons of freelancing, including the flexibility but also irregular income. It provides advice on preparing to freelance, such as building social media profiles, securing some work beforehand, and checking contracts if leaving an agency.

Stop Selling and Start Solving

Argyle Octopus Press Inc.

The document discusses how businesses should focus on solving customer problems rather than selling products. It advises startup founders to spend time validating that their solution fits a real customer problem before building out the full product. Once problem and solution fit is validated, founders should spend equal time building their product and building traction for it through various marketing strategies like content creation, social media engagement, and measuring key performance indicators. The overall message is that understanding customer needs and demonstrating value is more important than pitching a product idea.

Building a Reporting Framework for your SaaS Company

Dana DiTomaso

This document provides guidance on building an effective reporting framework for a SaaS company. It recommends starting with defining key performance indicators and the goals of the business. Metrics on trials, customers, and visitor behavior should then be selected and collected through tools like Google Tag Manager. Segments of users should be analyzed to understand how different groups experience the product. Key metrics that can help optimize decisions include conversions by keyword, events over time, and metrics related to page speed and user engagement. The overall message is that collecting and analyzing data is important, but companies must then take action based on the insights.

Rethinking the funnel - DMA 2014

Jeff Perkins

For many years, marketers have used the framework of the "sales funnel". But, in the today's business environment, the traditional sales funnel has become obsolete. Customer journeys are increasingly complex for marketers to understand and vary dramatically by industry, by company, by function and by individual. The traditional funnel is actually more like a cocktail shaker. The customer gets dumped in, swirls around in information for a period of time and then gets poured out. For marketers, this creates both challenges and opportunities that will be discussed during this session.

Distilled

This document summarizes key points from a presentation on technical optimization trends: 1. Technical recommendations should be backed by business cases that win hearts as well as minds by showing expected financial impacts. 2. Forecasts are best presented as stories and examples rather than just numbers, and should be based on assumptions, tests, case studies, or bottom-up/top-down models rather than being "data-driven". 3. Recommendations need to consider the customer experience and pass the "Bezos Test" of being customer-obsessed.
