“Searchmetrics Essentials incorporates proprietary data to ensure that customers have accurate, high-quality information that they can trust to make smart marketing decisions,” says Dr. Horst Joepen, CEO, Searchmetrics. “Many tools on the market pull from third-party data sources, but this provides no unique advantage. Our data includes more than just raw numbers, but actionable analytics to help companies quickly take advantage of opportunities all within one dashboard – Searchmetrics Suite, our flagship solution.”
Searchmetrics Essentials expands on Searchmetrics’ recognised standard for measuring the search engine visibility of web sites by introducing a new measurement for social visibility. Its social visibility score measures a company’s influence on leading social media networks by analysing how often their web site content and landing pages receive ‘Likes’, ‘Shares’, ‘Tweets’, ‘Comments’ and more. It can be monitored historically over time or weekly to measure the impact of active social campaigns and marketers can compare their own performance against competitors.
“As search and social media become more intertwined, those companies that can understand how all areas of online marketing work together will be most successful,” notes Joepen. “Searchmetrics Suite, with the new Searchmetrics Essentials, offers companies the ability to instantly research the visibility of websites, market verticals and social media presence in the same workspace where they do all major project activities – domains and keyword analysis, link building and reporting. Less time spent switching between tools and manually producing reports means more time to focus on activities that drive revenue.”
Key benefits of the Searchmetrics Essentials include the ability to:
Analyse domains and keywords by organic, paid and universal (video, images, news, shopping, maps) search results
Determine the most popular content on social networks and compare “likes,” “shares,” “comments,” “tweets,” and more
Analyse search and social media data for 15 countries (US, UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Canada, Italy, Spain, France, Australia, Japan, Turkey, Brazil, Poland, Netherlands)
Identify opportunities to gain marketing advantages online from competitive and industry analysis
