Do you want to know how to develop a conversion-worthy website? It all starts with understanding what your customers want. If you want to create a website that converts, you need to start by understanding your target audience. What are they looking for? What needs do they have? Once you have a good understanding of what your target audience is looking for, you can start developing an offer that meets their needs.
When you’re creating a website, it’s important to keep search engine optimization in mind. However, you shouldn’t optimize your site solely for the sake of getting higher rankings in the search engines. Instead, you should focus on optimizing your site for conversion. That means creating content that is relevant to your target audience and including calls to action that encourage visitors to take the next step. If you take the time to optimize your site for conversion, you’ll be well on your way to developing a successful website!

Which Social Media Measurements Matter Most? It’s All in the Customer Journey
If You Target Journey Stages with Specific Channels…
Let’s say your team is using social media channels to serve different audiences at different stages:
- LinkedIn for top-of-funnel awareness through thought leadership for enterprise customers
- YouTube for consideration through product comparisons and walk-throughs for small/medium business customers
- Twitter for servicing and customer retention for small/medium business customers
Since each channels each have different customer journey stages and different goals, the metrics would look something like this:
- LinkedIn: impressions, click-throughs, likes/comments, sales outreaches that mention social as a referral source
- YouTube: through-plays, comments, referrals
- Twitter: branded/non-branded mentions, interactions, percentage of customers serviced through Twitter
To track these metrics, your measurement dashboard would identify the goals per channel and report out the metrics based on those goals.

Google Discovery Ads Dos and Don’ts For More Successful Campaigns
Discovery’s targeting is unique, but ad units also offer up some unique opportunities.
Like Display, Discovery Ads are responsive. You give it a series of image and text inputs, and the algorithms determine the optimal ad to serve, depending on the user’s demographics and behaviors.
- Do utilize the 4:5 aspect ratio. Google’s tool can help, or you can hire a freelancer to resize your existing banner for less than a dollar (when done in batch).
- Do maximize the images, headlines, and descriptions used for each ad. The more you can give Google to test, the better your ad strength will be.
- Do utilize creative learnings from your social channels. The mindset of the Discovery ad viewer is very similar to that of someone scrolling social feeds.
Discovery Ad Don’ts
- Don’t imply interactivity (e.g. Add a CTA button). Google is more strict on that compared to standard display campaigns
- Don’t use much overlay text in your images. It leads to lower CTRs on average. It also leads to sub-optimally formatted ad units for certain inventory
- Don’t overuse low-funnel KPIs with cold audiences. Like other display and social tactics, you’ll generally want to warm your audience up before offering up a low funnel call-to-action

Why testing is a marketer’s most powerful tool
If you’re judging the effectiveness of your testing program based on results, you’re missing the point of testing.
The goal of testing, contrary to popular belief, is not to get better results; that’s a byproduct of good execution. The true purpose is gaining new insights into what works (and what doesn’t).
These insights are far more valuable than results. They can be applied across all of your marketing efforts—current and future—to drive improvements. And they can shape and direct your marketing strategy.
Set your themes
This inherently prevents you from testing small details and allows you to have the biggest impact in the shortest amount of time. Instead of running many unrelated tests, you can choose a set of “themes” aligned to your marketing strategy. Then your tests can support one or more themes which will help you validate and direct your strategy and implementation.
This is what test-driven marketing is all about, and it’s the foundation for agility in marketing. Where marketing strategy and experimentation intersect, you can rapidly and efficiently discover the right path forward, much like electricity following the path of least resistance.

18 Facebook Ad Ideas to Boost Your Results
