Conversion makes marketing affordable.
Doubling a website’s conversion rate from 1% to 2%, you only need half as many clicks.
Click Value is Inherent
The level of commercial intent is built into the words, it is value analytics
We established this framework to define the demand and locate intent most relevant to you, your products and services.
Step 1: Identify your specific converting keywords in advance.
Predict Conversion Potential
The value of the words people use becomes more apparent once you look through the lens of intent.
You can tell which clicks will convert, and why
Map them out in advance.
Benefits of a Conversion Framework
It’s easier to write content and build out a website when you have a blueprint
Click-Specific Content
When you match your content to commercial intent, you convert more interest
Step 2: Build content around the visitor interest and identity
Targeting conversions with the website
Target the true target audiences behind the keywords and start to see the gaps in the content strategy.
- Markets are groups of people interested in achieving. Intent starts here and gets specific.
- Their identity, traditional audience targeting is focused on the things they care about
- Your products and services are part of the buyer journey, solutions to help their problems – stage specific
The combination is where it gets more interesting to visitors, organise around their interests for more action.
Congruent Content
High conversion rates for growth (via Search or Social) supported by delivering the right content to your visitors at the right time. Their journey towards the specific can be better supported.
- Conversion is primary to SEO
- Website structure is as important as the design and the writing.
- Navigation is how you ask ambiguous visitors what they are most interested in.
If visitors are in the wrong place, it does not matter what you say.
Structure
Build a website that uses the words that represent your target market, target audience and leverage intent to win bigger.
- Use those words purposefully in the URL, headlines, breadcrumbs, and most importantly, internal links.
- Knowing the value of words matters when you build out the structure.
The proper structure attracts the right people, generates more clicks and engagement, and leads to higher rankings for the words that matter.
The conversion rate relies more on the website build than the copy.
Unless you are in front of the right person at the right time, it doesn’t matter what you say.
How do you build a website around your target markets and audiences? How do you get in front of the right people at the right time and understand what they want?
Organise content around the visitors
BY understanding what people want, who they are, and how far along with research, we can make more connections.
Just moving content can make a huge difference.
Many websites are focused on what we want to say, rather than what visitors want to hear.
Connect Marketing and Sales
- Marketing is disconnected from Sales
- Brand is disconnected from Performance
- Search is disconnected from Social
- Websites are disconnected from Markets, Journey Stages and Audiences
Defining Markets and Audiences will help us navigate
Universal Language of Marketing and Sales
Defining what a market and an audience is should be our first principle.
There are very few definitions that we stick to,
- What is a funnel?
- What is a target market
- How does the buyer journey map out decision making
This isn’t just an SEO approach. It’s a fundamental rethinking of how words work in all marketing and sales. Keywords are just one highly-evidenced way to look at it.
Yes, by understanding the value of search terms in advance, we’ve developed a system that transforms ads, content and how websites are built. The vision is beyond product-focused landing pages to serve the complete buyer’s journey with precision.
There are no words to describe the words, we seek to put that right.
Key Principles
It stems from search data and is usable in real life.
Search Data as Unfiltered Market & Audience Research
People write down precisely what they want at the precise moment they want it. The timing makes it commercially valuable, and for the same reason, research-rich.
Results from individual keywords are highly ambiguous, but when analysed collectively, clear patterns emerge that represent the most timely, unfiltered market and audience research available. We’re excited to see where this goes.
