DESCRIPTION
The end goal to a PPC campaign is often to drive brand awareness, sales, sign-ups and downloads. But more often than not, we do not analyse the data available to us to optimise and drive a successful strategy to reach this goal. Jason will be talking through some of the key areas where data can be analysed and built into a successful PPC strategy.

“The goal is to turn data into information, and information
into insight.”
- Carly Fiorina, Hewlett-Packard Co.

Yet this fundamental rule is often overlooked.
black_hawk204
Why…?
black_hawk204
Why…?More often than not we do not know ‘what’ we are looking for.
black_hawk204
So, what is ‘data’?

So, where is the data?
black_hawk204
It is important to understand the difference between Keywordsand Search Queries.
black_hawk204
Keywords, are the platonic ideal of a search query – it's an abstraction that we extrapolate
from multiple search queries.
Search Queries, the actual word or string of words that a user types into the search box,
they are the real-world application of a keyword – it may be misspelled, out of order or have other words tacked on to it, or conversely it might be identical to the keyword.
black_hawk204
Where do we find our Search Queries?

But what if I’m not seeing changes in my SQR?
black_hawk204
Then it’s time for data mining.
