Last year, Anders Hjorth at Innovell launched the ‘Major Trends in Paid Search‘ report which is an in-depth look at the paid search industry. This detailed and lengthy report contains in-depth analyses of the past, present, and future of paid search.
Now, Anders has launched a second report that looks specifically at paid search strategies in 2019. This new report distils the key lessons from the major trends report and delivers them in an easily digestible format.
The new report identifies two types of paid search strategies: insight-driven and measurement-driven.
Insight-driven strategies encompass the audience-led strategy and the data-driven strategy. These strategies are based on a deliberate search for insights into user behaviour and use of CRM data, mapping the user journey, building personas and then building campaigns with two phases in which audience functionalities from the search advertising platforms are extensively used: RLSA, demographic targeting and in-market audiences.
Measurement-driven strategies include the drive-to-store strategy and the search & shopping strategy. These strategies are based on metrics and automation. The store-visits metric is essential for measuring offline impact, and both strategies rely on effectively measuring and attributing impact across channels and sometimes across providers. On the basis of solid and reliable tracking, automation, smart bidding and testing become efficient ways of improving returns
The new report features several studies from companies like Wowcher and Bose, that show exactly how each type of strategy can be applied to deliver paid search success. There is also a detailed section on shopping search strategies for ecommerce.
