Takeaways● There is no shortage of ways to track digital marketing.
● Tracking is the ﬁrst, but only the ﬁrst necessary thing to making solid
decisions about digital marketing.
● There are a multitude of efforts that need to be tracked AND MANAGED in
order to understand how it’s all working for you.
● Everything in one place and looking at one time period gives you insight
into the relationship between things. This is key to understanding how
things work TOGETHER.
● Evaluate platforms based on these criteria:
○ Can you look at it all together?
○ Can you manage things in the same place?
○ Can you see how the results for some things relate to other things?
● Think about this from a standpoint of data. If you do something, make sure
you have the means to look at the data to see if you can feel it? If it’s
working you can usually see it.
