THERE’S NO VALUE TO A WEBSITE
That’s not to say that there isn’t a place for websites.
And it’s not to say there can’t be great content!
Consumers only want to spend so much
time on your website!
![Page 14: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
@michelejkiss
It’s tempting to try to force consumers to your website...

@michelejkiss
SO HOW DO CLEVER MARKETERS DEAL WITH THIS?
![Page 23: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
@michelejkiss
1. DON’T THINK ABOUT METRICS.START WITH GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES.
Metrics for metrics’ sake areworthless.
What are the business goals?What are the campaign goals? What do you WANT?
How will you know if you got it?
![Page 24: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
@michelejkiss
WHAT IS THE GOAL?This is a business question, not an implementation question!
@michelejkiss
![Page 25: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
@michelejkiss
2. DO THE PREP
Defining what’s important is more work up front, but gives you a measuring stick to use after the campaign.
@michelejkiss
![Page 26: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
@michelejkiss
YOU’LL BE SURPRISED!Thinking through your Goals may also
highlight problems with your strategywhile you still have time to fix
them
@michelejkiss
![Page 27: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
@michelejkiss
3. DEFINE KPIS
This isn’t a list of “every metric we can think
of to put on a report”or “every metric I can pull
out of Facebook Insights”
These critical metrics will be used to determine success.
They define what you want out of the campaign.
![Page 28: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
@michelejkiss
EXAMPLE• Goal: Create an audience
for lightly-branded entertainment content

![Page 29: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
@michelejkiss

@michelejkiss
SO NOW YOU KNOW YOUR GOAL...
In a perfect world, how would we measure it?
In the real world, how can we measure it?
(Including leading indicators or directional metrics)
@michelejkiss
![Page 32: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
@michelejkiss
PERFECT vs. REAL WORLDWhat we would like to measure ≠ what we can measure
Not everything is possible.“I want to track consumers
from Facebook to You Tube and then into the store.”
![Page 33: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
@michelejkiss@michelejkiss
That doesn’t mean something isn’t possible.
Use leading indicators.
What measures will suggest that those goals were fulfilled? (Even if they’re not perfect.)
![Page 34: Digital Analytics When Your Website Isn't "Top Dog"](https://reader038.vdocuments.mx/reader038/viewer/2022110114/546fa780af79597e508b4766/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
@michelejkiss

4. DON’T PRIORITISE “EASY”

IT’S NOT EASY

@michelejkiss
“Yeah, so like our KPIs are impressions and time on site.”
THAT’S NOT WHAT MATTERS!
