      Hello,
      We have a website of a furniture company that runs an Adwords campaign. This company has a lot of distributors. They have several objetives:

      • people explore the online catalog
      • people visit the distributor page (where they can find the nearest distributor in his/her area)
      • people share the pictures and info in social media. (For example: pictures in pinterest)
      • people watch videos
      • new distributors contact them to be a new distributor

      and so on. As this is not an eccommerce website they can not buy

      We have created objectives in analytics to meassure those engament results.
      My question is how to measure this in Google Adwords...
      If I import GA objetives into adwords, I get conversions rates of 350% and even more, and the number of conversions is to high. For example. If one objetive is to visit Distributors page (the one where users can see a map and search for the nearest distributor), I find with a lot of conversions of this type.

      I was thinking in importing some objectives and giving them a value in $ and instead of evaluating conversion rates, evaluate ROAS.

      But I really would like to know, what you are doing with this kind of companies. How do you measure the campaign success when most of the objetives are measuring engagement.

      Please, could you give me any advice?

      Thank you!

          I would focus on the goals that historically lead to revenue. If they all do, calculate that. None of these things should be a page visit though, that's not a strong engagement metric. If I were you, I'd do:

          1. Visit duration threshold (objective:people explore the online catalog)

          2. This might help, it talks about support sites, which isn;t you, but if you implement it correctly, it can help you, just don't copy this implementation https://blog.kissmetrics.com/pageviews-time-on-site/

          3. Click on a distributors website, track each individually (objective: people visit the distributor page)

          4. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033068?vid=1-635779271421213638-3696063864

          5. Click on top social sites share buttons (objective: people share the pictures and info in social media)

          6. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033068?vid=1-635779271421213638-3696063864

          7. After 30 seconds of video watch, it registers the goal (objective: people watch videos)

          8. analytics.js and Tag Manager: http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2015/05/11/updated-youtube-tracking-google-analytics-gtm/

          9. ga.js: http://www.lunametrics.com/blog/2010/11/09/video-tracking-google-analytics-introduction/

          10. Contact form completion (objective: new distributors contact them to be a new distributor)

          The articles above are sometime ga.js, the old version of analytics. If you are running analytics.js, you'll need to work with Tag Manager. Hope that makes sense and helps.

            As you mentioned above, giving each objective a $ value is going to be absolutely necessary to measure ROAS. Hopefully, you can use some historical data to help you come up with the numbers.

              Endless Scrolling and prev/next

              Hi, We have a new website on https://www.neakriti.gr We have asked for endless scrolling between our articles, so when we get at the end of one article, the next loads. Looking at the produced html code I saw the articles contain and to other articles. When I asked the development team why this happens, I got a reply that its needed for the endless scroll of the articles.  But to my understanding "prev" and "next" is only used on pagination cases, and endless scroll between articles has nothing to do pagination. Here is an example article
              https://www.neakriti.gr/article/ellada-nea/1524252/fthinoporinos-o-kairos-tin-tetarti-stin-kriti-deite-analutika-tin-prognosi/ If you "view html code" on that article you will see this "next", "prev" declarations to other articles. Can anyone please let me know if the declaration of "prev" and "next" articles should stay or if I should ask the development team to remove it? Thanks

              Organic Brand Clicks/Traffic Drop - Why?

              Hi Moz Community, I've been reviewing Search Console and have been noticing that there has been a consistent drop in brand clicks. The overall number of keywords (especially for the top 2 pages) have been increasing, according to SEMRUSH, however, traffic and sales are still in decline. There are no algorithmic and manual penalties, in addition, paid search activity has been increasing in the leadup to Christmas. Has anyone experienced this and potentially advise how to diagnose and resolve this issue?

              Two companies merging into a new website. How to merge two existing websites into a brand new website and preserve search rankings.

              Brand A and Brand B are merging to form Brand C. Brand A has a great search presence (prominent rankings, answer boxes, and impressive organic traffic). Brand B has a good reputation in real life but their web presence was extremely weak (we've been helping with that over the past few months and it is improving). What are the steps we need to take? The previous domains from Brand A and Brand B are going away and we need to promote the newly minted Brand C website. This Q/A summarizes what we want to do but with one exception: They only discuss merging Brand A into BRand B and there is no Brand C.

              In the Google search results, the company name (with the drop down arrow) next to the result URL is incorrect. The company being displayed here is a company we acquired many years back. How do I adjust/fix this?

              When I search any term for my organization, we are getting good results BUT the company name, next to the results URL is of an orgnization we acquired many years back and not the name of our company.  The  URL is correct page JUST the company name next to this URL is incorrect on the Google search results page. How do I go about changing so the company name next to the URL ?

              Hi, I have researched few sites on this topic and I could see that the competitor keyword should match with the add text relevance, landing page relevance and CTR. Any other factors more to be included to improve the quality score? Reference: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2285536/Google-Updates-How-AdWords-Quality-Score-is-Reported

              Is having two websites that sell most of the same products a good idea?

              Hi - Please read this in full before you answer. I currently own a website that sells kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities that match the kitchens. This website has been operational since Arpil 2009 and we have built good rankings over the past 3 years. The site is operated on the Volusion platform (my mistake from the beginning, but we're kind of stuck now). We are in the process of designing a new website on the Magento platform - everything will be 100% different from look, speed, the way our customers shop, content, product skus, etc. The original plan was to keep the same domain but implement 301 redirects for subpages (subpage urls would have to change) and shut down the Volusion site and transfer the domain name to the Magento site. Our current website does make money right now and we would hate to lose rankings (even if only temporarily) during the switch or have something go wrong. What I am now thinking is keeping our current website on Volusion where it is currently making money and having the new Magento site have a new name/domain. The sites would sell most of the same products (the Magento site would sell more types of vanities and accessories though). The two sites would have different email addresses, phone numbers, and mailing addresses. Is it a bad idea to try and rank two websites selling pretty much the same thing? We have competitors out there that sell the same products as us, I would just prefer to compete with myself rather then someone else. Another issue is our name, one of our competitors names is extremely close to ours and we rank for pretty much all of the same keywords and customers get us mixed up all the time. This other site would have a different name (one that makes more sense). I want to make a decision that will not come back and bite us later. I know there are a lot of bigger sites that operate tons of niche sites, and of these website could eventually be similar to that. I really appreciate your help and guidance! Thanks

              Looking for examples of a B2B brand spinning off B2C products on to separate websites

              Does anyone have any good examples or case studies? Right now I'm working on a site with both B2B and B2C products crowded onto one site.  I'd love to find some examples of companies that have built their online B2B brand separately from their consumer products. I found the Constructive Playthings case study on Marketing Sherpa but nothing else.

              Video's Pros and Cons - YouTube vs My website or both?

              This isn't really a question per say, but more of a request for advise. We are in the process of creating videos for our travel website. They are more informational and do not promote any products as such. I am aware of the options, and I am leaning towards creating a pro account with Vimeo so that the videos are available only on our website. The reason for this is so that we can at least get credit for our work, as when they are on you tube, anybody can syndicate the video without linking to our website. I am also aware that there are allot of searches happening on YouTube, and it may be worse if we choose not to upload our videos there as we would loose out on a big audience. it would be GREAT if we had the best of both options. And i had an idea i want to get your opinions on. Create the video and upload onto our website with "lower competitive" title / meta / body. Submit the video on YouTube with a "Higher competitive" keyword / title /meta and description. When someone finds our video, they might search YouTube to avoid linking back and wont find it, (although it is there getting traffic from a similar keyword) Branding is the number 1 objective for these videos, so you tube + many other video sites would be the way to go. However, i would also like our own "private" video blog on our site so that if web masters like the video, we can give them the option of embedding it on there site (like SEOMOZ do it on there whiteboard Fridays) Your comments and suggestions will be muchly appreciated. Greg
