Digital Marketing - Study Notes:

Output reports

Performance measurement is crucial. You’ll need to know whether things are going to plan, and where you need to put certain levers and move things up or move things down a little bit to make sure you’re delivering on the objectives that you have set.

From an SEO perspective here, you’ll need to look at Google’s search console, but also Google Analytics. And, in the case of the former, you’re looking at search queries and impression volume, mainly. We’ll also combine that with some of the data we get from Google Ads, from paid search.

Looking at Google Analytics, we can see which landing pages are performing well. We can see user engagement rates, and we can also get a geographical summary of where our ads are performing particularly well.
