Everything you Need to Know About Marketing, Sales, ROI, & Ranking Reports

Anyone with a business wants to have higher sales. Higher sales with a larger profit margin are the end goal. To do this, particularly when you're competing online, takes more than just a great product and a strong marketing campaign. You need to position your company so it isn't on the outside looking in. The "in," of course, is Google. Where you rank in the giant search engine will have a huge impact on your company's success. The belief used to be that all you needed was a lot of great content that was search engine optimized (SEO). That is still a valuable piece of the picture, but the picture is much larger. Let's take a look at marketing, sales, ROI, and ranking reports to see how all of these components help you determine how successful your marketing efforts are and where they can be improved.

Important Components of Marketing in the Digital Age

Marketing is understood by most of us to be an important part of making a business successful. There are probably as many different views on what constitutes "marketing" as there are businesses. Marketing in the digital age is a vastly different animal than it was in the days of TV, radio, and print, but the goal is still the same¬. You want to reach the consumer, but not just any consumer. The goal is to reach the "right" consumers. First and foremost, you're going to need to invest in web design. While a lot of people don't think of a website as being part of the marketing strategy, it is. This is because your company website is going to be the center of all your digital marketing efforts. You can't, however, just get a website and hope customers find it. The goal is to essentially build a road map to your website that brings customers to you.


In addition to your website, a great marketing strategy includes SEO and SEM tactics. There's always plenty of hot debate about what "tactics" work best. First, understand that SEO and SEM are two different things, although they are closely related. Both are an important part of marketing in the digital age. SEO falls under the umbrella of SEM. Let's take a closer look at some of the differences between the two.

SEO is designed to bring in a larger number of visitors to a website by getting the website's content to place higher in a search engine's results. There are several things included in SEO. High-quality, valuable content written to naturally incorporate specific keywords is one of the biggest components of SEO. Optimized page load time, clean formatting, social media incorporation, and quality backlinks are all a part of an effective SEO strategy. SEM includes everything related to SEO, but it also includes the use of pay per click advertisements (PPC) and paid social media marketing (SMM).


The combination of these things, each of which has its own set of components, will increase your visibility in search engines and on social media, which then drives your sales. In today's digital world, there are no sales without effective SEO and SEM. They are the building blocks of everything your company will accomplish (or not accomplish) online.


Email marketing and social media are all a big part of the marketing puzzle too. According to Statista, 2.5 billion people use social media outlets every month. For those who believe email marketing is dead, however, the same source reports there are 3.7 billion active email users around the world. With numbers like these, you can see how important it is to incorporate effective campaigns targeted to reach these audiences.

Email Marketing: The purpose of email marketing is to gain new customers, satisfy the needs of current customers, and to bring back customers who have strayed. There is much more to email marketing than simply sending random emails to an untargeted list of people. The goal is to target your email campaigns specifically, whether you are trying to gain new customers, reward current customers, or entice previous customers to return.

Social Media Marketing: It's a social media world. For businesses, the world is now your customer base. To reach it in the best way possible costs money. In fact, it can cost a lot of money. Unless your business can do it all (which still entails the cost of putting together a marketing team to handle all of the individual components of a digital marketing campaign), you're going to need to hire a marketing company. In many cases, you will pay for apps and tools that may or may not provide any real value, which means no return on your investment. A lot of companies aren't up to date on all the components needed for an effective digital marketing campaign, or even how to manage those components so they work cohesively to provide the best possible outcome.

How to Stay on Top of Your Digital Marketing Efforts

Of course, none of this matters if you don't know how your efforts are paying off. That's why marketing, sales, ROI, and ranking reports are such an integral part of the process. The data in these reports need to be compiled and reviewed regularly. The data can show you where you've been and how far you've come. It's important to trust the source of the data so you know the information these reports contain is accurate. The clearer the picture, the better the decisions you can make regarding your marketing strategies and whether or not they are working for you. The key to a strong digital marketing campaign lies not only in keeping your finger on the pulse of the digital marketing world at large, but keeping your finger on the pulse of your own efforts. Up-to-date marketing, sales, ROI, and ranking reports are best way to do that. They can help you see those areas where you are falling short, which then lets you know where you need to improve. These reports also tell you what's working, giving you a better idea where your marketing dollars should go to ensure an optimal digital marketing strategy.
