Analytics Aren’t Easy
Americans love our sports and we know the games revolve around scores and statistics. Tennesseans and particularly Nashvillians know that music is also measured and scored. Athletes, teams and Musicians are measured by an analysis of the stats they produce, which is exactly how digital marketing campaigns are evaluated.
That being said, marketing analytics isn’t the easiest digital tactic to grasp, in theory or in practice. But it is one of the most important, because if you aren’t measuring your business’s campaigns, then you’ll never know whether they’re working or how they can be improved. And make no mistake, your campaigns will need to be tweaked and tinkered with; constant iteration is the key to keeping up with the shifting landscape of the Internet.
Data Is Your Friend
Information is powerful…but it is what we use it for that will define us. Zack Matere
In any discussion on data and analytics, I defer to my experts and guides, Avinash Kaushik and Feras Alhlou. I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking with both of these brilliant men and I must tell you that they live in a world where only few can travel. However, what I love about them is their ability to make the science of analytics manageable and understandable.
With so much information available it is imperative that we have a plan to analyze it and that we do so regularly. What is important when analyzing your site or profile?
- Why does the site exist? Not just the obvious reason but all the reasons it exist and is used.
- What should you focus on first? With so much data it is easy to get caught in the weeds.
- How smart is your online strategy? Are you optimized for your audience?
- How do you compare to your competitors and what are they doing?
- How can we make a quick impact on the business?
With these questions in mind, an analytic review of your website and profiles will provide insight into your digital marketing campaigns, conversions, traffic and links.
