Google, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook – the biggest players in digital advertising – are making significant changes to accommodate current and upcoming consumer data regulations. Most marketers are concerned about the loss of data, thinking that it will make it much more difficult to manage client campaigns. At SMX Next, Sam Tomlinson showed how marketers can make the most of the data they do have. “Just because some data has been taken away and some control levers have been taken away doesn’t mean that we’re in a world of hurt,” Tomlinson said. “It just means we have to adapt.” Here are three ways Tomlinson says marketers can succeed with PPC despite having access to less data:

  • Improve data measurement with marketing mix models
  • Obtain more accurate client data
  • Use lower intent goals in your campaigns

“Ads and landing pages no longer win when they pack in keywords, but when they closely match user intent. Strong visual elements and a good user experience lead to signals that tell Google people want to visit (and stay on) your page,” writes Ashwin Balakrishnan. Two simple campaign metrics, click-through rate (CTR) and conversion rate, can help you categorize any landing page into one of four segments that account for both performance and potential. These four segments make it easier to determine the right steps to sustain or improve performance and you’ll quickly be able to determine:

  • How a given ad and its landing page are performing.
  • What degree of optimization is necessary.
  • Whether those fixes need to be made to the ad or the landing page.
