Digital Strategy Platforms


Okay, so lets make up a hypothetical situation.

You are working for the newest online clothing merchant on the marketing team. You create a Digital Marketing and Measurement model (wait, what is that? Learn How to Create a Digital Marketing and Measurement Model) In order to track your metrics and conversions, you need a helpful tool that will help you KICK BUTT and track your hard work.

·      Google Trends
o   See what you consumers are searching into Google. Are they searching your brand? What are your consumers interested in? This is when you can use Google Trends. It allows you to type in a word and see which region of the world that most frequently searches this term. It even breaks the consumers down by county.
·      Google Analytics
o   This is my favorite tool. Not only is it easy to use, but it is also free (What’s not to love)! If you think it’s tricky, don’t sweat… Google offers a free training seminar.
·      Google Data Studio
o   Again, another fun and free tool. This tool is perfect to create visuals of all the data you created. It’s easy to connect with Google Analytics to visualize your data. Plus, you can customize what it looks like!
·      Momently
o   This is a brand new analytics platform! It is extremely easy to understand and just requires you to install your WordPress to your site. The downside, it’s not free. This tool allows you only 3,000 page views each moth and save the data for only three month. The premium plans start at $9.99/month.
·      Clicky
o   Again, this is an amazing user-friendly tool! This platform gives your real-time stats and lets you watch exactly what the users are doing. No, it is not free, but it gives you access to features such as heat maps, goal-setting, funnel/path analysis, real-time campaign tracking and custom tracking. No, this site is not free… but the premium plans start at only $9.99/month.
·      Sumo Content Analytics
o   This is another platform you have to pay for but is worth it! You have access to tools that connects to WordPress. The toolbox includes a list builder, heat maps, and more! You also get access to insights about how much content your consumer reads!  The downside about this tool is the premium plans start at $29/month.


Of course, there are many other digital analytics tools… but this is a start to make an amazing campaign!!
