             Search Term research =
             Customer Research
Search Term Selection
1   When we choose Terms on volume only…




    We’re acting like there is no competition!
1   What’s usually the desired outcome?

                             Or maybe:
                             Unique visitors
                             Time on Site
                             Pages viewed
                             Monetised clicks
                             Quotes
                             Engagement
                             Etc etc

    …Search volumes

1       For this model we need…

Natural Search Ranking Report




        Where we are now
        (In natural search = rankings)
1   For this model we need…

                                           Competition

A realistic forecast of where we can get to…
1   For this model we need…



    Conversion                Basket Value
      Rate by                  by Product
     keyword

                    Costs
1   Finally…
    Profit Margins (by product)
       • Often difficult to get
       • But half blind without
1   Can put a £value onto each keyword
       Search Volume


       Forecast Rank


       Click Thru Rate


       Expected Clicks




                         =
      Conversion Rate


        Basket Value

New Profit =
            Canxoptimise the c – cp)
             (@fR)
∑ (sV * CTR        cR * pR * pM) –
                          keywords that
Where:
sV = search volume

                          will deliver the
CTR = click though rate
fR = forecast rank
cR = conversion rate

                          most additional
pR = product revenue
pM = profit margin
C = cost

                          profit
Cp = current profit
1   Case studies

    4 clients - change in incremental profit vs. picking KWs on search volume

1         What does this mean for…Paid Search?
                                     Improves Profits
                                     • Much of paid search management is
                                       achieving the right balance between cost
                                       and benefit; i.e. how can I make the most
                                       profit?
                                     • At any one time there will be optimum
                                       bids on individual keywords and
Benefit




                     Optimal Spend

                                       therefore an optimum spend
                                     • This kind of analysis helps you find that
