In today's episode, I cover how to begin the process of creating the "BEST" content for your business. I know, "best" is relative, but please listen...  Simple answer: Research! Combine manual work with tools to get a 360 view into your market, and then break findings down by theme, topics, sub-topics. The architecture should use a top-down, drill-down effect. When you deploy to your website, ensure your organization approaches all content with a SEO mindset - on top of your paid and social media. Start here: Google Trends Twitter Trends Yahoo Trends BuzzSumo (popular topics/trends) AnswerThePublic (scraped questions/answers) SparkToro - the websites feature (where spending time, content collaboration opportunities) Glimpse (what consumers are interested in) Pinterest Trends (inside Pinterest, fashion, food, drink, etc) Emarketer - trends, research, consumer interest Similarweb - undercover marketing strategies and content Adding keyword research should also be mentioned, specially when you drill down even deeper.   Join our private client group: https://chaosmap.com/private/   ►Here's where to follow and listen to Jon: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/media-and-marketing-w-jon-rognerud/id1147949023 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonrognerud Facebook: https://facebook.com/ChaosmapMarketing Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonrognerud LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/jrognerud Website: https://chaosmap.com #chaosmap #googleads #jonrognerud

This Friday Footage sponsored by: https://chaosmap.com Facebook ads are essential to targeted traffic and sales this e-commerce season. Measuring and watching your KPI’s are important – but so many e-comm business owners focus on too much on return on ad spend (ROAS). That is not the ultimate metric of your business transformation during BFCM. (Note: E-comm stores sell approximately 80% of their inventory during the BFCM period, being even bigger this year than last year) Other data points, like the lifetime value of your customer (CLTV), average order value (AOV) expansion, high ticket bundling and CPA optimization are crucial to track & optimize for long term stability of your business. Return on Investment (ROI) is the ultimate health measurement for your business. However, when it comes to all your online ops and especially for Black Friday / Cyber Monday – you’ll want to make sure to capture and sell trigger points during the entire customer journey. Don't capture just the top line metrics, but track and inject sales offers to your entire funnel and platforms.  There are some really great ways to do this, and today, learn how to reach new revenue highs with smart "flows" and Klaviyo email intelligence. If you need help with this, visit https://chaosmap.com  and set up a consultation.

Are you using Facebook ads with Shopify? Good! That is a great solution stack for your e-commerce business.  The way FB and Shopify works together with ease is mostly a happy dance for marketers and business owners. But, do you have the right metrics and numbers dialed in? It's a constant battle (improving numbers, that is), and as you dive into Q4 and the "season for shopping online", you'll want to make sure you're looking at the right numbers/KPI's for your business. This way, you can optimize and pull more profits out, so you can re-invest smart dollars. Today's post is all about what specific KPI's you need, and why they are important for your e-business.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER FRIDAY FOOTAGE! So many of you are dealing with Facebook technical issues when it comes to running ads. That includes business strategies as well. Sometimes, it's out of your hands (eek, a bug!) and you need help, and quick. Here's the solution: 1) Visit https://facebook.com/business/help 2) Click "Get Started" 3) Select any of the block images (link) 4) Scroll down and select the "Chat with a representative" option Warning: If it's a technical/ops issue, they can escalate or very likely fix it right there on the spot. If it's more involved (e.g. a bug) it may be a while, until they push out a platform update. If you ask the reps about strategic questions on building ads, just keep in mind they are not as seasoned as you. They are reading from manuals, or have been instructed to push a certain message or goal for the week, month or quarter. (FB is a business) If you need help or have questions, head on over to: https://chaosmap.com/talk HAPPY FRIDAY!

We're coming in live with Jason from Singapore and me in Los Angeles today. Jason just came back to his home office (Singapore) from a 6-week trip to USA & Canada. Turn up the volume - and you'll learn why clients seek him out, engage his company and hard working expert team to drive traffic, leads and sales via Facebook, Google and organic media. Listen to Jason's full story and how he got started, and why he doesn't necessarily recommend taking that approach today. Lots of golden nuggets here, including Facebook advertising, business strategy development, agency SOPs and things you can do to get started. Here are some extracts: Can you tell me a bit about what you do at the company? We help Education companies get more students by generating enrollment inquiries and appointments. We also make them the prominent choice for students with some wicked smart retargeting strategies. Filling pipelines with Facebook & digital marketing - What are the steps you take to get started with a new project? Step 1: Brand search - Google, Bing Step 2: Retargeting - begin the "know, like, trust" process Step 3: Deeper engagement - email capture, nurturing, tagging, CRM Step 4: Reporting - Supermetrics, Google Data Studio, custom reports One big mistake you made along the way? Not investing in myself, people, and relationships early enough. Thinking that I could build an empire on my own back. Big mistake and wasted a lot of time.

Happy Friday - "Friday Footage" is here! On Fridays, I typically demonstrate certain software, tech stack and screenshots that can help you dive deeper into technology, systems, websites, media and more. So...here's the question: Want to increase your traffic, leads and sales from Facebook advertising? Many ways to do this - and one of the ways you can do it is with proven source audiences, and to create lookalike audiences from those sources. You essentially allow Facebook to learn from that source audience, and create similar profiles from that base. I'll show you how to set up a lookalike audience on Facebook - and explain why LLA's are essential to scaling your Facebook ads campaigns. Want to learn more or have us help you?

QUESTION: What does it take to make successful Facebook Ad campaigns? As you'll learn today, it's not as much about Facebook ads (manager) as it is about your message, market and customer experience. (Ok, fine... the funnel!) Lots of time is spent on the actual tactics of Facebook ads. The boxes and settings you must choose inside the Facebook ads manager environment, etc. While they are important, consider the Facebook ads platform as the "engine". You really need the wings + natural lift to make your campaigns take off. So... Work on your back end and your funnels - the entire customer experience. That also means that you map out and understand your KPI metrics along the way. You are probably leaving money on the table right now, not having a clear picture of it! To start mapping, get a free trial here: www.marketplan.io (great software to help you in the process) Here's your next step (It's FREE): https://chaosmap.com/talk    

There's an ongoing discussion about which platform (Google or Facebook) to use. Which one works best for your business, or any business? We get questions about this often at the agency. Our simple answer is this: where does you customer, client or patient "live"? Serve them content and ads on those platforms, optimize your funnel and watch your KPI's. However, it goes deeper than that. It's about the intent of the audience and your message to market match - for starters. Today, I'll cover the differences and we'll go through the infographic that ThinkDigi has provided: https://thumbnails-visually.netdna-ssl.com/facebook-ad-vs-google-ad_56af8470ce1fb.png -- Want to discuss B2B media buying for your firm?
