Content Marketing = Search + Social
… Only If You Can Be Found
It’s a search game.And a social game. The two are blurring and merging.
Conclusion: Content Marketing Works (for Many)
But is Content MarketingWorking for You?
• Are you creating content?• If so, what kind, how often & what
channels?• How are you promoting it?• Is it being applauded or amplified?• What kind of engagement are you
getting?• Is it working? (i.e., is it converting?) (and if it is, would you know it??)
ENGAGEMENT

3 Forms of Engagement
1. “Organic”a. Queriesb. Cheersc. Leads (Prospective Donors or
Volunteers)
2. At the Point of Promotiona. Applauseb. Amplification
3. With the Content* * NOTE: GA only really helps here, and then only if the
content is “owned”
PESO
• PAID = Money exchanged for space in magazine, newspaper or online site; for time on radio, TV and sometimes online channels
• EARNED = Coined by public relations professionals to differentiate from paid media
• SHARED = Content shared on, and communities built on, third-party social networks (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc.)
• OWNED = Print collateral, websites, blogs, video, podcasts, ebooks, etc.

What is a Conversion?
• A conversion is a measurable event that indicates movement through the sales and marketing process (funnel)
• Possible examples of conversions:– Follow / friend / fan a social profile– Like / +1 / favorite a post– Share / re-tweet content– Sign up for mailing list– Open email– Click-through to website– Ask for more information on offering– Purchase / donate– Repurchase– Advocacy / evangelism

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

• This is missing a few things that I find interesting, like:– Content (which pages are working best)– Traffic Sources (where it’s coming from)– Browser/OS/Mobile Types
Google Analytics 101
• You use Analytics to gather and report on information about visitor traffic to a property
• A property can be a website, a mobile application, a blog--any page or screen that receives traffic via the web or a mobile app
• To collect that information with Analytics, you need to:– Sign up for an Analytics account– Add your property to the account– Add the Analytics tracking code to your property
The GA Hierarchy
Google Analytics Caveat
It’s all about traffic flow once it gets to your site
– What happened before is anyone’s guess unless
a) There was a referring siteb) You use a campaign-specific landing pagec) You used a campaign code
– What happens after is anyone’s guess unless
a) You integrate donation/ecommerce with GAb) You find other ways to measure other
conversions
Okay, Let’s Play!
CULTURE CHANGE

“Ultimately social media is not about the tools, technology and whiz-bang things. It’s
about culture and culture change.” - @ScottMonty
