SearchLove San Diego 2017 | Wil Reynolds | Intonation Matters: A New Approach...Distilled
Most of us search to solve a problem as quickly, easily, or thoroughly as possible. Once you decide your job is to help people find solutions to problems, you have to hear from them, not least because keyword research is lacking understanding of a searcher’s emotions. How many people searching for Rolex's today are dreamers vs. actual buyers, and how would you market to each group separately? You have to talk with them. Don't have time to talk to users? Google is a great proxy for what people want, and Wil will show you how to start turning keyword research into an empathetic exercise.
This is all about the (many) time(s) we’ve been fired by search clients. Understand, we get fired less often than we get hired. That’s why Portent still exists. But there are those cases where you fervently believe you did everything right, the client can’t point to any issues, and yet you still get thrown out on your behind.
Frustrating. So I started digging – I asked a lot of uncomfortable questions of my clients. Of former clients. Of clients in the act of becoming former clients.
75% of them – literally, I kept count – said things like “we just felt like we wanted… more.”
That was puzzling, because we’ve delivered within our scope of work, every time. Clearly, something else is going on.
I asked more uncomfortable questions (trust me, they’re not fun) and slowly realized that this isn’t about the work for which we were hired. It’s about the context in which the work took place. It’s about strategy.
Rand's presentation from BCAMA covering the shifts in search engines and user behavior that have caused SEO tactics of years past to fail in the modern era.

New Holiday Data Reveals Insights About Handling Seasonal Volatility - Q1 202...Botify

SearchLove Boston 2016 | Rand Fishkin | The Measure of a Marketer's WorthDistilled
Web marketers have thousands of tactics to choose from, almost all of which can be measured, benchmarked and tracked over time. However, we too often invest in work that doesn't line up to the metrics we care about. We're tasked with work that's supposed to hit numbers, yet lack the connection between that work and those goals. In this high-level presentation, Rand will explore several analogies that illuminate a path to measuring all the way through, from work to metrics to goals.

Lead generation presents different challenges than Ecommerce. The sale isn’t made in an instant on a website. We have to offer, show, and then deliver on value through a sometimes lengthy buyer journey, all while competing for our audience’s attention against distractions and competitors and also making sure they’re a good fit for our customer base. In this session, we take a step away from the keyword and bidding strategies and focus on the parts of lead generation campaigns that can help drive higher lead counts, better quality leads, and propel users through to customer.

How Machine Learning is Changing the Landscape of Search, Discovery and Engagement
Today’s consumers have more choices than ever and are less brand loyal than at any point in history. We’ll examine pivotal inflection points driven by consumers that influence search and data discovery. These directly affect what search engines rank and show in results, so you need to know what you can control and influence. Data about your business, products, and services remains one key area under-explored by most businesses, and digital knowledge management is proving to have a deep impact on consumer engagement, revenue, and business success.

Luciano Pesci, PhD is the Chief Executive Officer of Emperitas which spoke on the subject of Lifetime Value the Only Metric that Matters and how it is beneficial to business.
For those that don’t understand much about marketing or business, the term Lifetime Value could be a little confusing. Lifetime Value has been defined by Google as a way to understand a customer’s revenue potential. Forbes has defined it as a measure of the profit you can expect to generate from a customer over the entire time they do business with you. It is one of the most impactful metrics for marketers to understand as 20% of customers predictably contribute 80% of total lifetime value.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
Videos are more engaging, more memorable, and more popular than any other type of content out there. That’s why it’s estimated that 82% of consumer traffic will come from videos by 2025.
And with videos evolving from landscape to portrait and experts promoting shorter clips, one thing remains constant – our brains LOVE videos.
