All metrics have a value and each metric should be tied to a
goal. This makes identifying your goals and determining
what you want to measure the crucial steps.
Be very clear on how the goals are related to the overall big
picture.
Measure significant aspects of your campaign such as
demographics, cost per lead, source, quantity and quality, etc.
Add conversion hooks to your content and measure
them.
Online listening is an important step when beginning a
campaign.

TACTICS
Don’t let a client bully you into a goal you're not comfortable with -
quarterly goals that are ambitious are a good way to achieve more
long term results for campaigns.
Don’t focus solely on empty statistics such as RT’s (Retweets). Many
people RT without actually reading the article. Best if you can count
the RT’s but also sort your analytics data by how much time people
from Twitter spent on the site.
Vanity metrics such as simply counting Facebook Likes can be easily
pumped up with a quick ad campaign before end of quarter.
Beware.
Perhaps your social page is only getting a few likes. Think twice
before declaring Facebook useless and shutting down as having
an active presence on Facebook is a clear sign that your company
is alive and kicking.

Google Webmaster tools
Google Webmaster Tools’ keyword report: Google continues to improve
the information that’s accessible to site owners in its Webmaster Tools
suite, especially in the wake of significantly increased “not provided”
keyword referral data in Google Analytics. Marketers logged into
Webmaster Tools can navigate to “Search Traffic” –> “Search Queries,”
clicking the “Top Pages” tab, to get an overview of the approximate clicks
and impressions in organic search results that web pages have received.
The latter half helps define reach of your efforts.
Google Analytics
Google analytics: is excellent and free. Can be used simply or you
can set extensive goals and measure how often these are
accomplished.

Crimson Hexagon
Crimson Hexagon: if you have the budget, Crimson
Hexagon is most accurate listening tool available .
Radian6 and search.twitter.com are free and/or cheap
options. Radian6 is not great but you do get much more
data than you will from free tools.
Infusionsoft
InfusionSoft: helps automate marketing, provides drip
emails which provides great data for measuring your sales
funnel. Landing page creation allows you to track leads
there, how you got them, and conversion rates.
Dashboards provide web data and analytics and also
integrates well with the rest of your sales tools. Allows you
to see user activity from your contacts as well as ROI per
different sales channel.

Contently
Contently: For content marketing this tool tracks
scrolling, mouse movements, highlighting, active
window/tab, and other factors to deduce the exact
second that users stop paying attention. Also can see
things such as how often articles were finished on your
site versus started.
Your bare hands
Your bare hands: Do not be afraid to get your hands
dirty when doing measurement. Doing some manual
work can help you compliment your findings and verify
your results.
13. THE ART OF SETTING KPIs THAT DRIVE

DESIRED ACTION
•Focus
•Consistency
•Leads
•Benchmarks

•Focus
•Consistency
•Leads
•Benchmarks
Focus on roughly 5 KPI’s that matter most to
your business, such as; Visits, Time, Sources,
Cost per Conversion, Landing Pages.
Be consistent with the numbers you are
measuring. Don’t mix impressions and reach for
example as it can be confusing.
Consider the original source of a lead. Was your
lead on your email list for years for example
before converting on a whitepaper offer?
Consider using Google Adwords to create a
campaign to set expectations and goals.

•Revenue cycle
•Measure the
effectiveness of
content marketing
•Measure ROR
(Return on
Relationship)
•Measure Brand
Awareness
•Evaluate who is on
your site
Model the stages of the revenue cycle and then
measure how each lead moves through the
various stages.
How many leads are coming from the organic
search that are a direct result of your blog
articles and content?
ROR is the value (both perceived and real) that
will accrue over time through loyalty,
recommendations and sharing.
How many searches this month are
done on your brand name vs. last
month?
Look for competitors or potential leads that are on
your site. Use analytics to find the network names
of each.
