Although marketers have not always been keen to use the data at their fingertips, new research suggests that more of them are looking to take advantage of analytics in the coming months. Forrester and Google recently published “The Future of Analytics” report, and statistics showed that overall, most marketers (17%) intend to make improving their […]

Sometimes you don’t need to use a limousine to get somewhere when a bicycle will do the trick. … and sometimes you just might not have an advanced analytics tool and your only options are AdWords and Google Analytics.  I was setting up some basic revenue tracking for a low impact project of mine and […]

Analytics and content creation are the two top services requested by today’s online marketers, a new survey by Moz found. More than 3,600 online marketing professionals (an even mix of in-house and agency marketers) participated in Moz’s “2015 Online Marketing Industry Survey.” Other in-demand services for 2015 include conversion rate optimization, brand strategy and social media […]

Google announced that you can now differentiate between search traffic that comes directly from Google.com from search traffic generated on one of Google’s partner sites (ie. AOL, Ask).  This is the first of hopefully many steps that will allow PPC managers to take a more active role in managing Google’s Search Partners. Currently, the extent […]

Last week I turned 34. No, I’m not telling you this because I’m looking for belated birthday wishes (although I will accept belated birthday presents). I’m telling you this because of what happened leading up to 34. For the month leading up to my birthday, I was convinced I was turning 33. In fact, Stacy and […]

If you work in marketing, you’ve probably heard about Google sunsetting Universal Analytics and making us switch to GA4.  It’s been hard to miss with the outpouring of memes, including my personal favorite: So what does the end of Universal Analytics mean for B2B digital marketing? SEO? PPC? Content? And how in the world do […]

A discussion on Threadwatch Monday drew greater visibility to the fact that Google has begun encrypting all queries through the search engine, even for users who aren’t signed in to Google. Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land confirmed this shift with Google, as discussed in the recent article on SEL this week and highlighted in […]

I was recently contacted by Leon Krishnayana, CEO & Founder of iSpionage.com.  Leon asked if I would be willing to review the company’s PPC analytics tool.  I had heard of iSpionage before, and had tested their beta version, so I was very interested in peeking under the hood of the full breadth of the tool’s […]

At the foundation of an search engine optimization campaign are keywords. Google’s free keyword tools can be an important tool for uncovering opportunities, but it’s not always as simple as just finding a keyword and placing it on a page. This post is designed to offer background and recommendations for identifying keywords and applying them […]

Want more leads? Maybe… but probably what you really want is better leads. It’s 2019, after all – B2B marketers have evolved past “lead gen 101”. They need leads that contribute to pipeline. Leads that become closed deals and real revenue. Plenty of research backs this up. But here’s just one example: 58% of marketers […]

In the world of SEO, it’s extremely difficult to project for the year to come. Strategies are always subject to change. This is due to a variety of factors including algorithm updates, changing user behavior, new platforms or features launching, industry findings, and more. As we enter the year, I thought it would be helpful […]

A recent success we had with using Google Base (Google’s product search) to drive traffic to one of our manufacturing client’s website made me consider how companies that make, market, and sell industrial goods can take advantage of search engines and social communities to enhance their online presence.

Structured snippets are a Google Ads extension that allows advertisers to highlight additional and relevant details about their business from a list of predefined categories. Where structured snippets really shine is by giving you the ability to utilize specific text to differentiate your ad message from the rest of the results.  By listing the key elements, brands, or products […]

In 2022, our blog significantly focused on switching from Universal Analytics (UA) to Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and what it means for B2B marketing measurement. Migrating to GA4 has also been an important point of discussion at KoMarketing across clients as there are many lingering questions. Recently, we brought in Brie Anderson, the Founder & […]

When we begin a new online marketing program, the evaluation of the conversion actions on the website is one of the first places we turn our focus towards . Believe it or not, more than a few times, we have learned in our first kickoff meeting(s) that that there is little more than a general contact form or […]

The term “SEO Audit” can be quite nebulous. I’ve seen all types of SEO audits from colleagues and competitors, offering a range of assessments and areas of focus.
