How To Use Events To Optimize Your Facebook And Google Ads Campaigns

Image
Your website is bustling with activity. Visitors are constantly interacting with your website. But are you taking full advantage of everything that’s happening on your website for your paid marketing?  Every interaction of a visitor with your website – a pageview, a click – can be used to better understand your audience .  And when you understand your audience better you can target them in a smarter way, and get more bang for your buck from your paid campaigns on Facebook and Google. Both Facebook and Google refer to these user interactions as Events . They allow you to track them using a tracking code installed on your website. What Are Events Events are user interactions that don’t involve loading another page on your website. In ecommerce, the prime example of an event is Add to Cart.

How to Find Your Target Audience

When I first started out in marketing, I thought traffic was everything. I wanted to be as big as companies like HubSpot . Just look at the image above and you’ll see how many visitors they are getting. They generate 29.61 million visitors a month from 11.74 million people. And those visitors produce roughly 10 billion dollars of market cap . Now, let’s look at NeilPatel.com. Can you guess how many visitors I’m getting each month? I’m generating roughly 8.717 million visitors a month from 3.616 million people. When you look at it from a unique visitor perspective, HubSpot is getting 3.24 times more unique visitors than me. So, in theory, I should be worth roughly 3 times less than them, right? Well, technically I’m not even worth 1/10th of them. Not even close. Why is that? It’s because I didn’t go after the right target audience, while HubSpot did. And today, I want you to avoid making this massive mistake that I made. Because marketing is tough, so why would you start off b

And on top of that, later in this post, I’ll even give you a sneak peek at the new changes that we are making to the extension that will be released within 30 days. So, what’s new? Who says keyword research should be limited to Google? What most people don’t know is that YouTube is the second most popular search engine and has been exploding. On top of that, Amazon is the largest e-commerce site in the world and SEOs are doing Amazon SEO and Amazon ads… so why not have access to keyword research there, too? Now, when you go to YouTube and perform a search you’ll see data on suggested keywor

There are a number of things you can do to ensure your readers are enticed by your landing page and want to know more information. In this post, we’re going to figure out exactly what you need to do to produce a mind-reading landing page. But first, let’s start with the basics. What is a landing page? Before you create a landing page, you need to understand exactly what it is. A landing page is a dedicated web page, often called a squeeze or splash page. The objective is to collect your visitor’s data through a lead capture form.
