Measurement Tools
Problems or issues with measurement:
Reporting ‘nice to knows’ rather than ‘must know’
Overwhelming amount of data
Interpretation of data
This is nice to know…
And this….
And this….
Stop focusing on ‘nice to knows’ and start
measuring the ‘must knows’
Outcomes
What are outcomes?
The Conversion Funnel
How do I measure outcomes?
Measure outcomes by creating ‘thank you’ pages after an action
The ‘Thank You’ Page
Tracking the ‘Goal’ page
Set up Google Analytics to track ‘thank you’ pages as Goals
Measure what matters
Now you can view all the outcomes/goals which happen on
your website over a period of time.
Important K.P.I’s
Conversion Rate – how many outcomes have been generated?
But what are the other 76% doing?
Important K.P.I’s
Visitor Loyalty – how often do people keep coming back?
Setting Objectives & Outcomes
Objective: Get visitors to complete more online product
specifications
KPI: Online specification sign up conversion rate
KPI: Online specification completion rate
KPI: Visitor Loyalty
Example of setting objectives and outcomes for a website which
has an online calculation/specification tool to generate leads
Focus your measurement on what matters, your objective!
Bounce Rate
The Bounce Rate
The ‘sexiest’ metric of them all
Measures visits with only one page view
High bounce rates (60%+) requires investigation:
Poor content or design
Landing page has no relevancy
Poor quality traffic being sent by source
Poor performance Good performance
The Bounce Rate
View the bounce rate for all key pages on your site
Above data shows 2 key pages performing poorly. Must fix these
pages in order to keep people on my website
The Bounce Rate
View the bounce rate for keywords used to get to your site
Above data shows 4 keywords attracting poor traffic. Is it
because the search query doesn’t match my content?
The Bounce Rate
View the bounce rate for each source
Above data shows 1 source sending unqualified traffic. Either
improve the messaging or eliminate from spending anymore
Measure sources of traffic
Tracking Sources
Tracking & reporting outcomes by source is important
This is where you are spending valuable budget on driving traffic
to your website. You need to know if it’s well spent.
Tracking Sources
Campaign set up is a pretty complex procedure
Involves tagging links and creating unique identifiers for all links
Tagging requires consistency across campaigns and channels

Measuring Print
Use unique URL’s or microsites (e.g www.mycampaign.co.uk)
Use shortened URL’s where possible (tinyurl, bit.ly)
Unique phone numbers (0845 445 445 and 0845 445 446)
Conversions by Source
Make better decisions as to where more resources are to be
placed and which sources are to be eliminated.
Calculating Cost Per Lead

Cost = £500 to design and broadcast email to database
556 visits to the landing page from the email campaign
153 signed up for the Specification tool

cost. Where do you put most of your efforts? Twitter? Blog?
