You wouldn’t hire a brain surgeon to treat your heart condition. PPC has a role. Ask the following six questions to help SEO and PPC teams collaborate—and achieve better results than either could on their own. Are SEO and PPC teams communicating effectively and sharing insights? It’s the same for search engine marketing.
“Umbrella terms” are when you aggregate multiple features and benefits under one vague term, like “powerful” or “easy-to-use.” Use PPC to promote content cost effectively (choose keywords nobody’s bidding on). All PPC channels will work for you if you stop using brute force.
A common (and highly coveted) example of a rich snippet is when you see a star rating review or aggregate rating review show up right on the Google search results page. Aggregate Star Review Ratings in search results. Product ratings in Search results. Event details that appear in search results.
11: Close to zero aggregated analysis exists, everything's segmented. #10: No company hires anyone called a Reporting Squirrel. Everyone hires what they believe are Analysis Ninjas. An example is: "We should add these 80 keywords to our PPC portfolio with a max bid of $14."
And I discovered that the first page of results on Google was filled with paid search and aggregator results (things like Angie’s list and Yelp). While it might be tempting for you to hand over full control to a PPC firm, that’s risky. Do you research on PPC firms. Focus on Purchase Intent.
Similarly, the value of a blog is how much work each post does for you in aggregate. Show me a PPC campaign capable of doing that. Either way, the value of your blog is actually all of those posts working together in aggregate, especially in the longtail, not the head. Now that’s ROI! So what was happening?
You can measure this at an aggregate level, or you can measure it just for your campaign traffic. Very often when you run branding campaigns your goal is simply to introduce your business (like we are trying to do with Market Motive , our start up that provides certification courses in Web Analytics, SEO, PPC, PR etc etc).
A lot of the keywords I used to add to my campaigns came from the long, long tail I saw in my organic search data (I would take the best performers there and use PPC to get more traffic) and from competitive intelligence research. This in turn mandates new SEO (and PPC) strategies, if we don't want to fail.
Whether you plan to write the copy internally or hire an experienced B2B copywriter, the cost per 2,000-word post can surpass $500, even if you’re doing the bulk of the work yourself. Another great example of linkable assets are pages that aggregate industry stats, like this one. Growth Design does an amazing job at this.

… You can see the wisdom of not just setting a 20% aggregate conversion rate, based on the above benchmarking data. The above graph shows you the dangers of setting targets on aggregated benchmarking analysis. In my case I'm looking at Social Media (boss LOVES social!), Direct Traffic (I get a lot of it!)
