Search Campaign | Managing Your Search Marketing Efforts

Congratulations, you have found this blog post! Which (I assume) means that you are looking to find out what Search Campaign is or if you already have a search campaign in place, how to manage and monitor the search campaign?

Search Campaign is an online marketing effort that uses search as one of the channels within the WWW sphere. What is this means is that companies (with their search campaigns) try to attract people who are looking for a certain information, product or service to stumble upon their website based on certain carefully selected keywords. In layman’s terms, it just like how you managed to search and find this information for “Search Campaign” or “Managing Search Campaign” or “Monitoring Search Campaign”. So, we’ll assume that the process that facilitated you to arrive on this page when you were looking for information on “Search Campaign” is one successful search campaign that converted an information seeker to a possible potential new customer. Well technically, this is one conversion within the search marketing campaign.

This brings us to how we can manage and monitor search campaign(s).

As with any kind of marketing, search marketing begins with a good research on information relevant to the product/service and associated trends. Mainly to identify the keywords that are most relevant to the product/service offered by the business and displayed on the website. Once you have identified the keywords for the target market, it is time to implement it with all possible SEO and PPC efforts.

Now you have to monitor the performance and manage the search campaign. Here are some tips you could find useful.
• If you have both PPC and SEO integrated as within your search campaign (which is like the smartest thing to do!), keep track on the spending for paid search and measure how many people visited your website by both paid and non-paid search.
• If you have an e-commerce website, monitor the actual number of conversions with real values (£/$) and costs attributed to the campaign.
• If you do not have an e-commerce website, identify what you would like to see as a result of the search campaign. It could be just to increase the number of visitors, number of people contacting for more information or any other metric that best defines your ROI for the campaign.
• Remember, with paid search you will see quick results which is normally not possible in non-paid search (SEO) as it is a long term strategy focusing on sustainability.

At this stage of your search marketing campaign, you should be well versed with the entire process. To enhance and keep you campaign active, look up for keywords – traffic that they can generate and trends for those keywords as everything depends not just on having an ad running, but matching the ads and keywords to what people are actually searching for online.
