WHAT IS SEO?
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION (NATURAL)
On page optimisation
Site technology & accessibility Site content
A clearly distinguishable site architecture & navigation structure can help with inclusion & improving rankings.
USA is the largest search market with 22.7 billion searches (17%).
China with 13.3 billion searches Japan with 9.2 billion U.K. with 6.2 billion.
It doesnt matter what the age, gender of socioeconomic profile of consumers, they all search on generic terms & keywords (eg camera, mobile, insurance)

QUICK POLL:
How many people think about more than a website (destination) for a campaign?
Online advertising Emails Search
QUICK POLL:
Thinking about search, how many people only think about the key words? Do you ever think about: - articles? - images? - video? - maps (retailers)? - blogs?
Content is king!
You need to be thinking about all of these things & how they can be included for your clients.
The more you think like a consumer, the more the client will trust you & the more they will invest with you. All of these areas are extra opportunities for you to add value.
Think about how you could use them & include them as part of a campaign
Does the client have a flickr account, an image gallery on their site, videos, YouTube channel?
Campaign activity
Most clients view search as being very on/off, but consumers dont just search because our clients have a campaign in market. It is a key driver, but not when they are out of market
Campaign activity
Search must be on 365 days a year. With insurance, consumers search on average for two weeks a year, but not all consumers are searching at the same time. This means insurance companies need to be there 365 days a year.

A keyword bible should be developed for all clients. It should cover a range of their specific brand & sub-brand terms, as well as generic terms. The campaign activity will come in & out dependent on the offers & T&Cs attached.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Additional information that might help
SEO
SEM
Prior to Google introducing Universal search, eye tracking studies suggested that the users eyes always went up to the top left. Meaning that it was extremely important to try to get the top position.
Note: Google Eyetracking study prior to recent updates & the introduction of Google Universal
After Google Universal was introduced, the eye tracking studies suggested that the users eyes went to the images first & then the copy next to those images & above then below.
Note: Google Eyetracking study showing that most people focus on the image before looking at text.
Disadvantages:
Cost when you have built that term eg Nike. Engine doing a good job then you should be the most relevant right? Key times to buy:
Competitor terms
Strong ofine brand campaigns. New product launch or offering. While SEO is poor
Tracking Paid Search What to look for from the Media Company?
Useful & meaningful reports Campaign strategies can be informed by the data & optimisation strategies implemented Bid management can be automated for so that the ROI of individual terms can be maximised
No data from Search Engines (in most cases) All tracking is site side (log files) or SEO tags Manual log file tracking ok for very low traffic sites 80%+ of the time a tracking tool will capture:
Search portal Search term that led to the visit.
Consider offering additional content other than that which is strictly required to sell your product i.e. mortgage calculator, hotel information & facilities, whitepapers on industry etc. The more useful your content & the more that consumers appreciate it, then the more that the search engines will want your site to rank well for relevant terms.
Beware artificially boosting link popularity is now being monitored by the engines & will be penalised.
Use a genuine strategy of contacting relevant sites and request appropriate reciprocal links.
2. Nurture
Search must be nurtured, whether it is paid or organic
3. Integration
Search must be integrated into campaigns. Only 2% of people remember URLs shown in TVCs or other activity.
4. Optimisation
Search can be optimised real-time, campaigns can be tested & learnings taken out immediately
5. Measurement
What does success look like? What were the take outs from the campaign (ATL elements)?
