• Measuring goals should be at the core of your marketing strategy.

• Tracking, analyzing and responding to the numbers is key to successful online marketing.

• Don’t just record your web stats but analyze them and respond according to what they tell you. It’s about action.


• Start by defining your key performance indicators (KPIs)

• Look at your marketing goals, what is measurable?

• Goals can include selling a product, creating awareness, attracting new customers. What actions lead to these goals?

• For example, if your goal is to sell your product, the action that leads to this goal is visiting all of the webpages in your checkout process. How many people land on your final thank-you page is measurable and tells you that they’ve completed a sale.

• Goal + Measurable Action = KPI


Goal + Measureable Action= KPI
