When you look at an eroded beach, what does the legacy of the sand tell you? It tells you about how water and wind have shaped the beach. You can see where waves have crashed on the shore. You can see where runoff has eaten away at dunes. You can see where reed grasses have maintained their tenuous grasp on the land against wind and surf. You can see seasons and years written on the beach… but no handful of sand alone will tell you that story.

If you go tracking an animal in the forest, what does the forest tell you? One or two footprints can’t tell much of a story, but a trail certainly can. The spacing between the tracks can indicate speed. The depth of one foot over another can indicate injury. The changes in distances show whether the animal was increasing or decreasing speed. The pauses and double-backs show when the animal detected a possible threat. These are the stories that the trail as a whole tells you.

Like the beach and the forest, what is powerful about reading your marketing analytics isn’t any one data point or even a couple of them. It’s the big picture, the trends, the series as they flow together and interact that tells the story about your marketing efforts. To be sure, there are times when it’s necessary to inspect at the tiniest levels how one particular mechanism is working. On the whole, however, your marketing will benefit more from you looking at it holistically. Did organic search traffic increase when your paid ad budget increased? Did your email list boost your social marketing? Only by examining your marketing analytics with an eye for the ecosystem as a whole can you truly capture the impact of everything you’re doing.

Here’s a simple exercise you can try. In your web analytics, identify the four major classes of traffic – direct, referral, search, campaign – and zoom out to see the year to date.

What patterns do you see? Do you see rhythms as a B2B or B2C website does? Do you see cyclical trends? Do you see countercyclical trends and non-intuitive trends? Do you see anomalies and outliers that need greater scrutiny? What does looking at the big picture tell you?

Treat your marketing analytics as the trails in the forest or patterns in the sand that they are. Look for the patterns and the stories that they tell; only then will you be able to make strategic, big picture decisions about what is or is not working.

I recently heard someone refer to metrics like Twitter followers or Facebook fans as fluff metrics or vanity metrics, as though they were intrinsically bad.

Let’s clear something up. There are no “bad” metrics. There are metrics for which you currently have bad data. That’s correctable.

There are also metrics that do not fit in the story you are trying to tell with your data.

A paladin in shining armor has no place in a science fiction movie (unless you’re talking WoW: Burning Crusade), but that doesn’t make that character bad, just one that doesn’t fit in the story you want to tell.

Are you telling a story about conversion of non-social channels? Then your story doesn’t need Twitter followers or Facebook fans in it.

On the other hand, if you’re telling a story about the path from member of the general public to customer via social channels and you omit those metrics, then your story is woefully incomplete and is made worse by your omission based on a mistaken belief that those metrics are inherently bad.

Avoid judging a metric as bad. Instead, focus on story you want to tell with your data.

Over two days last week, I enjoyed spending time with the WhatCounts team at their Digital Marketing Summit. One of the most striking things I noticed in the questions asked during my session on Google Analytics was that the nature of questions had changed.

Two years ago, even a year ago, people were asking about basic metrics and measurements, from audience numbers to rudimentary conversion tracking. This past event, marketers indicated by their questions that they are being held accountable for much more sophisticated tracking, from longitudinal customer information to sophisticated cross-channel tracking and indirect conversion.

This is a welcome change! These kinds of questions indicate a level of sophistication in this particular audience (and I’ve worked with this audience for over three years, back when it was still the Blue Sky Factory audience) and a level of awareness of what is possible, even if the questioners weren’t necessarily able to do the technical implementation themselves.

An increased level of sophistication in what is being asked of marketers also means that there will be some shaking out of practitioners, a thinning of the field. If more marketers are being held accountable for complete funnel metrics (not just top or bottom), then those folks who position themselves beyond what they’re capable of may find themselves unable to meet what is being asked of them.

The challenge is on, the heat is on for us to understand marketing metrics better, develop better methods, and ultimately generate better results.

What’s been your experience in people’s questions about analytics?

A question came up yesterday in discussion with a friend about how all of the digital marketing analytics books seem to cater to the beginner level crowds, and they wanted to know where the advanced analytics books are. In the same vein as where the advanced conferences are, there are no super advanced analytics books for a few reasons.

1. Most advanced analytics needs are highly customized. Think of it like becoming a connoisseur of something. Once you get past the basics, your needs and wants are tailored specifically to you. Everyone’s got a favorite beer or coffee or wine or sushi or fried chicken or… you get the idea. There’s something unique about your favorites that other similar preparations simply can’t mirror.

2. Most advanced analytics solutions don’t come from packaged tools. Instead, the advanced analytics stuff comes from raw mathematical ideas and formulae that aren’t bundled up into existing tools. Running an oscillating indicator or a moving average indicator isn’t something you’re ever going to find in a stock, off-the-shelf marketing analytics package, and that’s okay. It’s not about the tools anyway…

3. Most advanced analytics power isn’t about tools or technology, but about how to think and, as Tom Webster often says, how to tell a story with the data you have. Seeing a 12/26 moving average converge is important, but if you don’t know what it means and you don’t know what to do next, then that particular tool is a hindrance, not a help. To reach this point, you need a lot of experience in your career, you need a lot of experience looking at what the data tells you, and you need a lot of experience running campaigns and testing things to find out what works to fix or improve things when you see a known, recognizable pattern in the data. There is no packaged solution, no book, no course that will ever substitute for this hard-earned experience.

With that in mind, I do want to give a plug for Chuck Hemann and Ken Burbary’s latest book on Digital Marketing Analytics, which is a nice tour of the many tools and basics you need for getting started in collecting and understanding your marketing data.

Over the weekend, I was doing more reading of the Heart Sutra, a popular Buddhist scripture, and this one line kept leaping out at me:

Form is nothing but emptiness
Emptiness is nothing but form

Without getting into the technical details about what each word means (if you’re curious, go read Red Pine’s outstanding translation), it basically says that everything is empty of its own self-existence. There is nothing in this world that is absolute, nothing that doesn’t rely on something else for its very definition. Think about it for a second and you realize how true this is. A meal’s deliciousness depends heavily on our own state – if we’ve just eaten, even the finest meal may not be appealing. 70 degrees Fahrenheit could be warm if you’re from Boston but cold if you’re from Caracas. A beautiful woman or man means something different in the mind and eye of a 25 year old vs. a 75 year old.

Everything is relative. Nothing has a meaning that is inherent (except possibly something in your own belief system, which is a topic for another time). However, this lesson extends far beyond Buddhism into the realm of marketing metrics. Every metric we have, every metric we make the claim to live or die by is ultimately relative.

Think about the metrics you value and treasure. Twitter followers might mean the world to you but mean nothing to someone else. Visitors to your website is a metric that online marketers live or die by, but if you run a small local business that doesn’t have a website, website traffic is meaningless. Even the measures that in theory provide the most value can lose their meaning. How many marketers have worked at a company where they’re on fire with qualified lead generation, but the sales department couldn’t sell water to a man dying of thirst in the desert? Or how many sales professionals have worked at a company where they close like Blake from Glengarry Glen Ross but the company loses the customer immediately afterwards because the company couldn’t fulfill the promises of the salesperson? Closed sales are only valuable if the company nets revenue from them.

What’s the lesson here? Metrics are unquestionably important for understanding how we’re doing, but they are empty of their own meanings. Place too much emphasis or faith on any single metric and you will get burned, because you stop paying attention to the things that metric depends on, or other things that depend on that metric suffer. For example, let’s say someone decides that absolute unique visitors is the be-all, end-all metric to live or die by. They focus all their energy on visitors and nothing else. Projects like website redesign to improve conversion fall by the wayside. Projects like salesforce automation never get started, and all those visitors come into the website and do nothing. See how other things suffer from a belief in the absolute value of a metric?

Try as best as you can to see metrics as being links in a never-ending chain. Some parts of that chain you have no control over, and that’s fine. But look at all of the ones you do control or have influence over, and work to understand how they all play together to drive business results. Avoid putting faith in any one to the exclusion of others, and you’ll get maximum results from your marketing efforts.

During the webinar I did yesterday with my friend and colleague Chris Brogan, one of the most popular questions was, “which 3 metrics should you pay attention to?” There are two answers to this question.

The short, convenient answer is that you need sales to drive revenue. You need leads to drive sales. You need audience to convert into leads. Those are the three most basic metrics that power every business, B2B or B2C, with the exception of businesses that call a sale something else. (for example, churches call them parishioners, who tithe money, which is fundamentally still a sale for the purposes of paying the bills and keeping the doors open)

However, what these three numbers are not are metrics, at least not in any actionable sense. “Get more leads!” or “close more deals!” may be imperatives that management says are important, but how you do that requires a great deal more investigation. That’s why I generally break up metrics into two categories, objective metrics and diagnostic metrics. Objective metrics tell you if you’ve hit a goal, while diagnostic metrics tell you how you’re doing at reaching those goals. Let’s look at an example:

Here we see the objectives, more audience, more leads, more sales. We also see the things that lead up to each category. In Audience, we can see things like newsletter subscribers, social media followers, website visitors, etc. and these are diagnostic metrics that are actionable. We can do something to get more website visitors. We can do something to get more newsletter subscribers. In audience, we see leads that are qualified, unqualified, or not ready to move ahead. We can also see which characteristics of leads are not qualified, and that can help us focus our efforts. Maybe leads don’t have enough budget, in which case you need to change where you’re getting your leads from. Maybe your leads have no timeframe, in which case you need to ask screener questions to better assess where people are in the buying process.

Once you’ve ascertained what diagnostic metrics you have available that lead up to your objective metrics, you need to do a basic correlation analysis to see which of the diagnostic numbers most strongly correlates to the end goal objectives. Which lead source, which audience pool, correlates with the most number of qualified leads or the most number of real sales opportunities? Then you test for causality. (correlation is not causation) If you increase your generation of, say, webinar leads, do you see a corresponding increase in qualified leads or sales opportunities? If so, then you know that webinar leads is a metric that you should pay attention to, and it’s a gas pedal you can push if your funnel isn’t full enough. Do you see a corresponding increase in sales from a bigger email list? If so, then get more people on your list and see if sales moves up proportional to list growth.

This sort of metrics analysis isn’t rocket surgery – it’s just a lot of tedious, hard work. Do it well, and you’ll know exactly which diagnostic metrics are contributing to your end business goals.

One of the most asked questions I get is about industry standards. “How do we compare for likes, retweets, email open rates, website visitors, and every other marketing metric versus industry standards?” The answer is: it doesn’t matter at all. Not one bit. Why? Because industry standards have nothing to do with you or your business.

For example, Snickers bars and broccoli are both products in the food industry. Can anyone argue with a straight face that the engagement of fans of Snickers and Green Giant broccoli will be at all comparable?

Smallville Credit Union and Golden Slacks MegaHedgeFund are both in financial services. One serves a small town of 300 people and keeps Grandma from storing her nickels in a mattress. The other serves only people with 10 million dollars in disposable fun money. Do you think their website traffic or email list performance will be even close to the same? Yet they’re both financial services, and they’d both be lumped into some foolish “social media industry standard for financial services” report.

Imagine a fitness company published a report saying that the average runner ran a 12 minute mile. If you’re an expert runner, you simply ignore that because you’ve already got it beat and you’re working on improving your own times. If you’re a novice runner, all it does is discourage you and makes you feel bad. That bit of information does nothing to help you substantially improve your running. What does? Beating your previous times. Going for a new personal record, which is the only metric that actually matters.

The same applies to your marketing and your business. Pay no attention to what others are doing with their metrics as a basis for comparison for your own company. What should you pay attention to? Continuous improvement of your own metrics. Launch a website. Send an email. Tweet something. Then measure. The next time you do the same action, try to improve upon it. Get 1.1% open rate instead of 1.0%. Get 1 more visitor to your website today than yesterday.

Build your business by always working on beating yourself, and if you stay focused, you’ll be beating everyone else, too.

Recently, a number of folks have made a big deal out of yet another “Best day to…” chart, this time about Facebook. As I’ve said in the past, there is no overall best day to do anything. It’s a fiction. There isn’t even a best day by industry – consider that Smallville Credit Union and Golden Slacks Giant Hedge Fund are both in the financial services industry. Can anyone reasonably argue that their social media metrics will look the same or similar enough to be meaningful?

So what should you do, if your CEO is demanding that you only post on Saturdays at 2 PM because that’s when X Magazine that he read on the plane said to? You need to get your game on and your data on yourself. Let’s look at how you’d do that.

First, you need your Facebook data. Get it from the Insights control panel:

Next, fire up the spreadsheet software of your choice, open the file, and delete any column not labeled daily.

Third, add a column at the beginning called Day of Week. Look in your calendar, append the first two days, and drag down to populate the rest of the column:

Now sort by the Day of Week column, then insert a new line (Oz du Soleil is laughing at me at this point for my lack of Excel skills) and subtotal each day of the week.

Extract just the subtotal rows (I copied them and pasted them as values):

Now make radar charts out of them using the built-in radar chart tool.

Congratulations. Now you have a sexy radar map chart that you can insert into the slideshow of your choice, showing when the best days for YOUR company, YOUR page, YOUR Facebook efforts are for you to be doing things, based on what you’ve already done. This is automatically better than a generic “best day” chart or an industry-standard chart because it’s telling you how YOU are doing.

But here’s the catch. Here’s the giant lurking under the surface of this very pretty chart.

If you are bad at using social media, if you’re creating content that isn’t compelling, if you engage poorly or not at all, then none of this matters. This sort of analysis is valuable only after you’ve already got a content schedule rolling out with consistency and with serious effort and resources behind it.

I saw one chart recently talking about how thousands of top brands are using social media and their best days and times to post. The logical flaw is that top brands aren’t top brands only because of their use of social media. Forbes Magazine rated the top 100 brands in the world. The world’s #1 brand? Apple – a company that is notorious for simply not bothering with social media. If the world’s top brand isn’t good at social, then what makes you think any of the other top brands are doing a good job with social, or that social is contributing to their success?

Measure your own stuff. Implement best practices as a starting point and test, measure, then adjust. Once you’re seeing bottom-line results, only then should you make a pretty chart like the one above.

… when you are talking about an outcome that is non-monetary.

Awareness of a cause is not a monetary outcome. Certainly you can save money on the promotion of the cause, but your end goal is awareness. It’s non-monetary. You either generated more awareness or you didn’t.

Election to office is a binary, non-monetary outcome. Either you won or you didn’t. The bribes you take in office might be a return on your investment, Congressman, but the outcome itself is non-monetary.

Subscribers to your email list is not a monetary outcome. The subscriber can have value downstream if you plan to monetize your list, but if your only goal is subscribers, then it’s a non-monetary outcome.

The only time that ROI applies is when your outcome involves dollar earnings and dollar expenditures.

(technically, for the math folks, you can have ROI without earnings if you are okay with -100% ROI, where you lose it all. 0 earned – x spent / x spent = -100% ROI)
