This is not your web guy’s hit tracker

Global Stats tracking provides website traffic information in real time. This information allows the use of real world data to continually optimize your campaign performance. By closely monitoring which keyword search phrases produce paying customers we can focus resources on top converting keywords. Here are a few screen shots from one of our website tracking accounts. Please keep in mind that the conversions number only counts online booking and rate requests through contact forms. Phone call tracking stats are found in a separate account.

Basics Tab

The “Basics” tab displays general information for daily, weekly, monthly or custom time frame traffic. A visitor is recorded every someone views the website. An action is occurs when a person views additional pages. (i.e. user lands on homepage, clicks to services, clicks to contact, 3 actions). Bounce rate is an important metric which tells us how many visitors click back off the website within the first 10 seconds of their visit.

Visitors Tab

The “Searches” tab shows how many times a user visited your website after searching a particular keyword. Since conversion tracking is installed, it also shows how many people completed a conversion goal after visiting the website using that particular keyword.

As you can see this separates your site traffic by search engine. Global Stats real time tracking also has dozens of other useful tabs and ways to sort your web analytics data. Before real time web tracking, business owners said truthfully, “Half of my advertising doesn’t work, I just don’t know which half”. Let us help you get the tools you need to track every visitor on your site from Google search to sales conversion.

local online advertisingIt is a common misconception that local advertising is something that needs to be done offline. Sure newspapers, television commercials, billboards and other forms of local advertising can work for you. But the key to local advertising is online.

Take a look at Google Advertising for example. Through sponsored link management Global Market Exposure can target people in your area whenever they search for your services or products. By Geo-Targeting your Google Placement Campaign we can focus your advertising budget on local buyers who are going out of their way to search for your services.

Lets take a look at a few of the ways that Internet Marketing can benefit your business goals more so than other forms of local advertising. Later we will weigh the pro’s and con’s of advertising online compared to print and television advertising.

  1. Traffic: Internet Advertising directs people to your website. Whether the user is searching Google for similar services or on Facebook expressing shared interest in your services, Internet Marketing generates traffic to your website. More traffic can lead to more sales, better ROI and increased brand awareness.
  2. Conversions: The ultimate goal of advertising is to generate more business. Whether the goal of your website is to sell a product, generate leads or provide information, our goal is to direct buyers to your website through proven internet advertising techniques.
  3. Brand Recognition: By putting yourself in front of people who are interested in your products and services on a regular basis you become an authority in the industry.

Banner Advertisements help build Brand Recognition by displaying your ads to massive amounts of people on major websites like Yahoo’s Banner Network.
