Many marketing experts today still consider YouTube to be a good way to increase brand awareness and generate cheap traffic. This assumption is indeed legitimate, as YouTube video ads primarily served this purpose in the past. But times have changed, and so have the opportunities YouTube offers marketers. While it used to be unimaginable to achieve many direct conversions with YouTube campaigns, it is now possible to focus your campaign on conversions and use automated bidding strategies such as “maximize conversions” and “maximize conversion value.” And this is thanks to one of the latest Google Ads video campaigns launched on the market - the video action campaign. Before addressing the main topic, I want to emphasize the significance of YouTube as a channel and highlight the importance of incorporating this platform into your marketing mix. [object Object] [object Object] [object Object] [object Object] Why YouTube? Image Source: Google Support In a world where digital presence is increasingly decisive, YouTube has established itself as a key platform in the marketing mix. This has been confirmed by several statistics in recent years. According to Statista, more than 2 billion users are active on YouTube every month worldwide, which corresponds to about 40% of global users. [object Object] In January 2024, YouTube secured the second place in the ranking of the world's largest social networks. This positioning is no surprise when you consider that only in Germany, about 72.6 million people use YouTube monthly, with a daily reach of about 37%, according to a survey from 2022. [object Object] The fact that many users spend a lot of time on the platform is evidenced by the 2019 Comscore study, which shows that YouTube offers the longest playback time among ad-supported streaming services. [object Object] Regarding the user demographics, YouTube is most frequently used by people aged 25 to 34 years, unlike platforms like TikTok, which are more preferred by a younger target audience. [object Object] YouTube's popularity is due to its numerous advantages. Users can learn, get inspired, become part of a community with shared interests, and discover new products. All these factors make the platform a powerful tool for advertisers looking to effectively engage their target audiences and increase brand or product awareness. Especially the possibility to reach users at the very moment they search for products or services is a decisive advantage. Moreover, many users consider the recommendations of their favorite YouTube creators in the purchasing process. [object Object] All in all, YouTube has proven to be “the place to be,” and as marketers, we want to advertise where everyone wants to be. What is a Video Action Campaign? Video action campaigns offer an efficient way to generate a higher number of conversions through a single automated campaign on both YouTube and other platforms. They are designed to directly encourage your audience to take action and not only scale conversions but also the overall revenue. However, this is not the first YouTube campaign type designed to encourage direct conversions. Video action campaigns are considered an evolution of the former TrueView for Action campaigns, which have not been available on Google Ads since 2022. While the latter offered many benefits, they lacked some of the advanced features integrated into video action campaigns. Google reports that compared to TrueView for Action campaigns, you can achieve up to 20% higher conversion rates with them. In this sense, the “True View for Action” campaign served as the foundation for developing the current YouTube campaign type. Where are the video ads displayed and what do they look like? YouTube allows advertisers to deliver their ads through various formats, including skippable in-stream ads, in-feed video ads, and YouTube Shorts. In contrast, True View for Actions could only use skippable in-stream ads. Besides the homepage feed, video ads can appear in the “Recommended Videos” section and on the search results pages. They are displayed not only on YouTube but also with Google video partners, significantly increasing reach. If you want to use video ads, they should be at least 10 seconds long. As for video ads themselves, the Google ad videos you want to use as ads must be at least 10 seconds long. Since the introduction of video action campaigns, Google Ads has improved the ad's appearance. Recently, the number of assets you can add to ad texts has been expanded. Currently, you can insert 5 call-to-actions, headlines, long ad titles, and descriptions per ad. However, some assets are not displayed in certain formats. For example, descriptions are not visible in skippable in-stream ads. For even stronger campaign performance, various additional assets can be integrated. These include site links, lead forms, or product feeds. These elements can significantly enhance user engagement and conversions by providing additional interaction opportunities directly within the ad.   Which creatives are suitable for video action campaigns? ABCD Principle Creating relevant advertising content is key to the success of any YouTube campaign. The first few seconds of a video are crucial in capturing the viewers' attention. Use visually appealing, high-contrast images and ensure that your brand is noticeable from the beginning and consistently present throughout the video. Try to tell a story within your video that highlights important USPs but also evokes emotions. End each video with a clear call-to-action (CTA) to encourage interactions. For more information, you can check out Google's ABCD principle for effective creatives. What bidding strategies can be used? Since video action campaigns focus on conversions, you can select conversion-related bidding strategies like “Target CPA.” It is important to note that the set campaign budget influences how quickly the algorithm can optimize the campaign for conversions. Particularly for the “Target CPA” bidding strategy, a daily budget is recommended that is at least 15 times the targeted CPA. The “Target ROAS” and “Maximize conversion value” bidding strategies are only available for video action campaigns once the campaign has achieved at least 30 conversions.   Which best practices are recommended for video action campaigns? Using the WAVE tool on the Google Store Test different ad variations: Experiment with different CTAs, ad texts, and video content to find out what resonates best with your audience. As more users are mobile, it is advisable to include vertical videos among the ad materials as they are optimized for mobile devices. Use additional assets only when necessary: While the use of assets, such as lead forms, can improve your campaign's performance, this is not always the case. They can affect how your ads are delivered and user behavior. For example, a long lead form may cause users to abandon rather than convert. Furthermore, you should strategically consider whether different assets are even beneficial for the success of your video action campaign. Select the right conversion goal: This point is particularly important if many and different conversion goals are stored in the account. When creating a video action campaign, you should only retain those that are relevant, as the algorithm cannot distinguish between different conversion goals. Activate optimized targeting: With this option, Google promises about 20% more conversions. Set the right expectations: As already mentioned, video action campaigns are conversion-oriented, and as such, the algorithm prioritizes the conversions set as a goal in the campaign. You can certainly strengthen your brand or product awareness, but the prices you would pay for this, e.g., the average CPM, would be higher than with other Google Ads video campaigns. For this reason, you should be clear about what you want to achieve with YouTube as part of the marketing mix and which measures are best suited for this purpose. Why test the video action campaign? Testing is an essential part of every marketing expert's daily routine. Taking the known path might generally be beneficial but does not always work. Regular success on Google Ads requires staying up to date and testing what the platform has to offer. In this sense, I encourage you to give the video action campaign a fair chance and experience its unique features for yourself.

How the YPP Guidelines Affect the Quality of YouTube Ads

Table of Contents Is YouTube advertising part of your online marketing strategy? Maybe you haven't used YouTube yet. Perhaps you have been running YouTube Ads for years and are noticing a decline in performance. Indeed, the framework conditions have changed significantly in recent years, making it more challenging to find relevant channels and videos where you can place your ads. Why is this the case? Our YouTube Warriors have investigated this question. Of course, we not only present problems but also bring solutions on how you can still use YouTube effectively in 2021. How does advertising on YouTube work? If you are not yet familiar with YouTube Ads, here is a quick overview: On YouTube, the largest video platform owned by Google since 2006, companies and individuals can create their own channels and upload videos. These videos can be set to “public,” “unlisted,” or “private” to control who can view them. Public videos can be monetized, meaning they are available for advertising. This allows advertisers to run ad videos on these videos. There are different ad formats and placements, such as non-skippable ads at the beginning of a video. Billing is based on format, either by views, impressions, or clicks. How have the guidelines for the YouTube Partner Program developed? In 2012, the YouTube Partner Program was opened up to everyone. This allowed all channel owners to make their videos available for advertising. The result: a wide variety of small and large channels were available to advertisers. At the same time, the channels competed with each other for ad space. In April 2017, YouTube tightened the guidelines for participation in the Partner Program: the requirement was 10,000 views on the channel. Another tightening occurred in January 2018, which YouTube justified by raising standards to improve the quality of channels and videos for ad space. Specifically, this means that since then, 4,000 hours of public viewing time within the last 12 months and 1,000 subscribers have been required. With this revision of the guidelines, large channels benefited, and many small channels no longer met the requirements of the Partner Program. Since large channels typically target a B2C audience, monetizable channels in the B2B sector are becoming scarce, as they often can no longer participate in the Partner Program due to their size. What do the current YouTube guidelines mean for advertisers? The variety of channels and videos in the YouTube Partner Program brings several advantages for advertisers: for example, individual videos or channels can be precisely selected as placements, allowing for highly accurate control over the environment in which the video ad appears, creating greater relevance. Especially for niche topics, smaller channels and videos with fewer views but a better-matched target audience are very valuable. Particularly in B2B areas, where relevance and quality are much more important than mass distribution, this precise selection of placements is lost with the current guidelines of the Partner Program. While videos can still be researched in the Display Planner, channels and videos that were once perfectly matched are often no longer available because they no longer meet the requirements and are not monetizable. This means that it has become much more difficult to find accurate placements for niche topics. In 2021, the conditions are changing again with an adjustment of the guidelines. Those who operate a YouTube channel but do not meet the requirements of the Partner Program can no longer choose to keep their videos ad-free (i.e., not monetized). YouTube itself reserves the right to decide whether ads are displayed on these channels and videos. If ads are displayed, the revenue remains 100% with Google, and channel owners do not even receive information on where, when, and how often ads were shown in their videos. What this means for advertisers and to what extent small channels can again be used for advertising is unclear. The old diversity of long-tail placements has not yet returned. We will continue to monitor the topic and share our insights with you as always. Are YouTube Ads a suitable channel for your business? Are you unsure whether YouTube is suitable for your business and industry? A simple search gives you an initial impression of whether relevant placements are available and to what extent your target audience is present on YouTube and which content and topics are particularly popular. Search for the most important relevant terms on YouTube: Are there videos on your topic? Also, consider extended topics and terms that may interest your target audience (products, services, and questions you may not offer or answer yourself but are closely related to your topic because they describe a similar problem, for example). How many views and clicks do the videos have? How many subscriptions do the channels have? Are there interactions with the videos? Are the videos monetized? The answers to these questions and the results of your research give you an initial impression of whether YouTube Ads could be worthwhile or how important YouTube is as a platform for your industry. It is also advisable to consult external expertise—look for a YouTube expert who has experience with the platform. 7 Tips for improving your YouTube ad performance   Do you want to improve the performance of your YouTube Ads? Here are 7 tips from our Performance Marketing Warriors, who have extensive experience with YouTube advertising. 1. Define your audience Our first tip may seem trivial, but knowledge of your audience is essential in all online marketing measures and thus also forms the basis for performing YouTube Ads. Who do you want to reach with your channel and content? What goal are you pursuing with your channel, videos, and ads, and for whom are they relevant? [object Object] If you already have a YouTube channel, you can learn more about your audience in YouTube Analytics. Also, consider which phase of the Customer Journey your audience is currently in: which topics and terms are relevant in this phase? Which related topics interest your audience? 2. Put yourself in the audience's shoes (User Intent) What is your audience looking for, what do they want to know, see, and do? The User Intent is also of great importance in all online marketing channels. Keep in mind to provide added value and not just purely promotional content. Your video content must be relevant to your audience—this is especially true for videos that you want to use to build organic reach. But also when creating video ad materials, make sure to engage your audience and convince them to watch more of your channel's content or visit your website. Advertising can and should also be entertaining or helpful. 3. Placements and Targeting A helpful tool for researching suitable targeting options is the Google Display Planner, which allows you to identify thematically suitable placements (YouTube videos or channels) where you can run your video ads. Alternatively, you can add placements directly when creating the campaign and use the search function. Especially in the B2B sector, the thematic focus of your YouTube advertising is important for reaching your target audience and generating relevant traffic. Take advantage of video remarketing campaigns and specifically target users who have watched a video from your channel or visited your website. If you have multiple videos available, set your campaign so that users do not see the same video every time but get a variety of videos displayed, reducing the risk of your advertising being perceived as too intrusive. 4. Use Frequency Cap “Blocking YouTube ads” is searched over 4,000 times a month, and over 300 times “YouTube ads annoy.” This user intent (seeking a solution to the problem of unwanted YouTube ads) suggests that YouTube Ads should be placed with sensitivity. Especially on a platform where it's rarely about purchase intent but primarily entertainment and information, commercial content is a sensitive topic. The “Frequency Cap” allows you to limit how often users see your ad videos, reducing the chance of them becoming annoyed and forming a negative impression of you or your brand (and giving your ad a “thumbs down” or skipping it). How much is too much also depends on the audience and the advertising or ad format; for example, B2B ads have proven successful about two to three times a week. Remember: less is more! 5. Use Exclusion Criteria Even if you have done extensive research beforehand, you should use exclusion criteria. This prevents your advertising from appearing on videos that don't fit you and your target audience because, for example, they don't offer the desired content quality. At a campaign level, you can set your criteria under “Inventory types” or “excluding types/labels,” such as videos with or without age restrictions. You can also exclude specific channels and videos. Working with a good YouTube agency, they will already have extensive lists of bad placements, which are continuously updated. 6. Optimize your own channel To use YouTube effectively, you should integrate your channel into your strategy. Although you also have the option to advertise a product or service directly with YouTube Ads and direct users to your website or online shop, your channel is a crucial complement. YouTube, as the second largest search engine, brings great potential for many different industries and topics. With an optimized channel, you create organic reach and become more visible as a brand. You can also use YouTube ads to advertise your channel and videos and increase your channel's number of subscriptions. 7. Complement YouTube Ads through collaborations If there are no or too few suitable channels and videos for relevant placements, remember that there are other ways to gain traffic and leads through YouTube. Besides your own channel, you can use collaborations to increase your reach. After the update of the YPP guidelines, smaller topic-specific channels can hardly monetize their videos through the Partner Program. As an alternative, you can enter into direct collaborations. This could mean, for example, that your service, product, or event is mentioned in videos. Looking for expert support for your YouTube campaigns? Do you want to generate more traffic via YouTube?

Search Intent & Ads Automation - The Future of Google Ads

Table of Contents Google is continuously evolving. There are new privacy policies to consider, new technologies replacing old ones, and the user experience during searches is constantly being improved. For online marketers and advertisers, this means engaging with new features and guidelines and responding to them to achieve the best possible performance. The topic of "Search Intent" is not new, but it continues to gain importance. Why it's critical for Google Ads, the role automation plays, and where Google Ads may head in the future are revealed by our SEA Warriors in this blog post. The change in organic and paid search Over the past decades, Google search results have changed significantly. The original list of 10 links is barely remembered, and ads have evolved in format and presentation. Nonetheless, Google's goal remains the same: to display the most relevant results. This is relative to the search query and increasingly pertinent to each individual searcher with their unique prerequisites and requirements. With the help of machine learning, Google has been attempting for some time to better understand search queries and grasp contexts and meanings: what is the need/intent behind the request, and what type of result is relevant for this query? The context is becoming more important than the exact form of the word, both in SEO and for Google Ads. Individual factors also influence the result: location, device used, personal search history, the search history of people with similar interests, etc. A new feature in the search results in the USA provides insight into the selection criteria for search results: why is a specific result relevant to a search query? In the USA, users can access additional information for each organic search result, detailing the result and the associated domain, as well as why the result is relevant, for instance, due to local relevance, language, and keywords present on the page. In Germany, this feature has not yet been rolled out, but it is likely only a matter of time. The way people search has also changed: thanks to assistants like Google Assistant, Alexa, or Siri, longer "conversational" search queries are increasingly being made, in the form of complete sentences or questions. For search engines, this raises the question: how can even more complex inquiries be answered satisfactorily? The goal is to understand search queries as a human would and thus identify the intent behind them. Semantic Search - Search Intent in Google Ads In search engine optimization, search intent has long been an essential topic. Strict optimization for exact keywords is long gone; semantic search recognizes contexts, synonyms, and similar terms. Google's goal: to recognize the intent behind every search. What is the intention of the searcher? To be informed, entertained, compare, buy, or solve a specific problem? The development does not surprise our experts: Google Ads is following this development, and search intent is playing a more significant role in paid search as well. Google is striving to align paid and unpaid results? As a result, the precise, very finely-granulated booking of keywords and the detailed structure of campaigns and ad groups will no longer exist in the future. Instead, Google is focusing on automation and using machine learning to understand how users operate, which ads, for instance, perform well, and which do not—regardless of manual optimization. What does this mean for Google Ads? Automation in Google Ads has been observable for several years now. It’s moving more towards smart bidding strategies , away from manual optimizations. An example of this is the Responsive Search Ads (RSA) , which were introduced in 2018. Google autonomously assembles ad headlines and descriptions, determining and displaying the optimal combination based on machine learning. The same applies to ad extensions , which are played out automatically: from a variety of different media (images and videos), Google displays different variations. The algorithm learns from this, which compilation performs best and uses this knowledge to automatically optimize ads and extensions. Through these additional details, semantic search queries, for instance, can be answered in the future. The adjustment of keyword match types also indicates the direction in which things are headed: the "Broad Match Modifier (BMM)" has been combined with "Phrase Match," and "Exact Match" is no longer as exact as it was in the past but now also includes keyword variations that Google has identified as relevant. The future of Google Ads Managers What does the future hold for Google Ads? The trend indicates it: manual optimization options are increasingly disappearing. Eventually, there will probably only be smart campaigns into which a keyword list, ad text, and creatives are fed, the ROAS is set, and Google takes care of everything else. Given the increasing automation, we might ask: will Google Ads managers become obsolete in the future? Certainly not, though the focus of the work is gradually shifting from manual, craft-based work towards much more strategic consulting. The fewer minor adjustments that can be made, the more critical the few optimization options remain for advertisers in Google Ads, such as the creation and optimization of ad texts, monitoring, adjusting the ROAS, or optimizing landing pages. Experienced SEA experts also keep an eye on the overlaps with other channels as well as the company's overall strategy. How can more qualified traffic be generated overall? Which other channels besides Google Ads are sensible and promising for the industry and the company? What does the customer journey look like? This could mean, for instance, developing funnel concepts or even just defining the target group precisely. Thus, SEA managers will continue to exist, but the demands on this already complex job are likely to rise rather than fall. More than ever, it’s about looking "beyond the horizon," beyond one's channel, and taking the high-level view of the company's strategy, including various measures and channels that lead to the goal. Tips for lasting success with Google Advertising in times of automation The future might bring only Smart Campaigns, but manual adjustments are still possible. And even with automated campaigns, there are several levers to influence success. Here are the key tips from our SEA experts . Even though the future is leaning more towards automation, manual campaigns are still possible. The SEA Warriors team relies on manual optimization for new campaigns to understand the background and not to leave everything 100% to the "black box" Google: what works in campaigns and what doesn’t? And even with increasing automation, testing remains important . Which creatives work best? Which landing pages have the best conversion rates (keyword A/B Testing)? In choosing keywords : don't add too few, but rather broaden the terms a bit to avoid missing out on potential. Overly restricting leads to reduced reach and higher click costs. Depending on the goal, it may be especially useful in new accounts to maximize clicks and bring as many users as possible to the website or online shop. On the one hand, a certain minimum amount of data is necessary to derive conclusions. On the other hand, Google learns how users function only through sufficient data. Empathy is crucial for all online marketing channels: understanding the needs and intentions of the target audience , putting oneself in their shoes. This also includes asking: where is he or she in the funnel? What is the current search intent, and what is the next step? Is it just about gathering information, comparing providers or products, or is there already a specific purchase intention for a specific product or service? Depending on the position in the customer journey and intention, the approach and offer to the target audience differ. Accordingly, landing pages, ad texts, and creatives must be selected and precisely aligned with this intention. And fundamentally: A holistic online marketing strategy , which considers all relevant channels, a consistent user address, correct tracking, and diligent monitoring are prerequisites that remain important regardless of automation or new developments in Google Ads.

Kanal-Diversifizierung im Online Marketing

Beitragsbanner zum Thema Kanal-Diversizierung im Online Marketing

Wer alles auf eine Karte setzt, hat entweder sehr viel Glück oder verliert schnell mal einen ganzen Haufen Geld. Gleiches gilt auch im Online Marketing. Nur einen Kanal zu bespielen, ermöglicht zwar, seine Aufmerksamkeit nur darauf zu fokussieren, birgt aber auch erhebliche Risiken . Denn kommt es auf diesem Kanal zu einem Problem, ist in Windeseile das ganze Outbound Marketing aus. Wer sich also bei der Kundenakquise ausschließlich darauf verlässt, kommt schnell mal in die Bredouille. Genau deswegen ist es sinnvoll, seine Marketingstrategie durch Kanal-Diversifizierung aufzufächern. Neben der Risikoverminderung bei Ausfällen kommen noch weitere Vorteile hinzu, wie etwa: Mehr Reichweite - bestimmte Zielgruppen bevorzugen bestimmte Kanäle. Durch Diversifizierung können mehr Nutzer, und damit auch potenzielle Neukunden angesprochen werden. Höhere Brand Awareness - Eine einheitliche Message über mehrere Kanäle hinweg stärkt die Brand-Identität und erhöht die Sichtbarkeit. Mehr Data-Driven Insights - Verschiedene Kanäle geben jeweils einen einzigartigen Blick auf die Daten und ermöglichen so zusätzliche Erkenntnisse, die dabei helfen, fundiertere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Besseres Customer Engagement - Durch Interaktionen mit Nutzern auf mehreren Kanälen etablieren sich potenziell persönlichere Interaktionen und somit eine stärkere Bindung zum Unternehmen. Potenziell höherer ROI - Datengetriebene Entscheidungen über mehrere Kanäle hinweg führen häufig auch zu einer Steigerung der Effizienz von Online Marketing Maßnahmen und somit zu einem höheren Gewinn. Auswahl geeigneter Kanäle Welchen Kanal wir für die Diversifizierung in Betracht ziehen sollten, hängt meist davon ab, welches Ziel wir damit erreichen wollen. Wo sehen wir die größten Potenziale , die beste Chance uns als Marke zu positionieren oder vielleicht auch sogenannte “low hanging fruits”? Gibt es Kanäle, auf denen bisher noch kaum Mitbewerber unterwegs sind? Eine Möglichkeit, die geeignetsten Kanäle auszuwählen, ist sich am klassichen Marketingfunnel zu orientieren - abhängig davon in welchem Schritt die Zielgruppe sich befindet und welche Conversion-Aktionen wir besonders bewerben wollen. Es ist ebenfalls ratsam, regelmäßig zu überprüfen, ob die aktuelle Zielgruppendefinition noch akurat ist oder angepasst werden muss. Denn Anforderungen, Bedürfnisse und Suchverhalten können sich im Laufe der Zeit ändern . So können wir einen potenziellen Wandel in der Zielgruppe beobachten und entsprechend reagieren. In manchen Fällen unterscheidet sich die im Vorfeld definierte Zielgruppe auch von der tatsächlichen, die wir erreichen und die bei uns konvertiert. Wie dabei der optimale Kunde aussieht, ergibt sich aus verschiedenen Faktoren, wie beispielsweise: Demografischen Daten (Alter, Geschlecht, Standort, Familienstatus …) Interessen Kaufverhalten/Kaufkraft Lifestyle … Hier gilt es, weitere Potenziale zu entdecken und bestehende zu erweitern. Möglicherweise gibt es auch Nischenzielgruppen , die für uns eine hohe Relevanz haben. Der Vorteil dabei: In der Regel ist die Konkurrenz niedriger, was zu geringeren Kosten bei der Neukundenakquise führen kann. Identifizieren wir die Pain Points der Zielgruppen, können wir auch das Messaging der Kampagnen und Creatives genau daran anpassen . Das sorgt mitunter für mehr Relevanz, höhere Interaktion und im Bestfall für einen besseren ROI. An Regeln halten Wie wir also feststellen, ist die Kanal-Diversifizierung enorm wichtig im Marketing. Allerdings sollten wir dabei zwei Regeln beachten: Eine Diversifizierung der Kanäle sollte immer wohlüberlegt sein, und nicht nur um der Sache Willen geschehen . Wer sofort auf mehrere verschiedene Plattformen expandiert, läuft Gefahr, überfordert zu sein und den Nuancen der jeweiligen Kanäle nicht gerecht zu werden. Das wiederum kann schnell zu unerwünschten Ergebnissen führen, wodurch die Kanäle im Zweifel wieder abgeschaltet werden, ohne ihr volles Potenzial ausgeschöpft zu haben. Ebenso ist es wichtig, dem Kanal ausreichend Zeit einzuräumen . In den seltensten Fällen gelingt direkt der erste Wurf, und Anpassungen und Optimierungen entlang des Weges sind unabdinglich. Erst wenn wir mehrere Optimierungszyklen durchlaufen und ausreichend Daten gesammelt haben, können wir die Performance des Kanals fair bewerten und so sinnvolle Entscheidungen treffen. Selbstverständlich erfordert auch eine Kanal-Diversifizierung ein gewisses Investment. Wie oben bereits erwähnt hängt es von vielen Faktoren ab, wie viele und welche Kanäle für eine Diversifizierung in Frage kommen. Zusätzlich unterscheiden sich diese auch ganz individuell von Unternehmen zu Unternehmen und sollten deshalb im Vorfeld gut geprüft und überlegt werden. Gehen wir die Sache allerdings richtig an, kann sich das in vielen Fällen mehr als auszahlen. Vielen Dank für deine Aufmerksamkeit! Hoffentlich war es aufschlussreich, und du konntest etwas davon für dich mitnehmen! Im dritten Teil unserer Miniserie beschäftigen wir uns näher mit dem Thema Contextual Advertising .

Automation im Marketing: Auf Ziele optimieren

Beitragsbanner zum Thema Automation im Marketing.

Ende 2024 nutzte im Schnitt schon jedes fünfte Unternehmen regelmäßig künstliche Intelligenz (KI) . Bei Großunternehmen mit mehr als 250 Beschäftigten waren es sogar 48%. KI und weitere Automatismen (wie beispielsweise Machine Learning ) betreffen so gut wie alle Aspekte des Alltags, und machen auch vor dem Online Marketing nicht Halt. Dabei greifen sie gerne mal stark in den Berufsalltag ein, und lassen den einen oder anderen Marketeer daran zweifeln, ob der eigene Beruf überhaupt noch Zukunft hat, oder bald komplett durch KI ersetzt wird. Aber ist diese Befürchtung überhaupt gerechtfertigt? Oder gibt es vielleicht doch Möglichkeiten, wie man auch in Zeiten der Automation noch aktiv in seine Marketingstrategie eingreifen kann? Wie das geht, zeigen wir dir in unserer Blog-Serie “5 Tipps, wie die eigene Online Marketing Strategie auch in Zeiten der Automation noch relevant bleibt” . Wo Automation im Online Marketing schon Verwendung findet Von allen Branchen ist Marketing weltweit wahrscheinlich einer der größten Vorreiter in Bezug auf die Nutzung von KI und Automation im Berufsalltag. Laut einer Studie von Hubspot aus dem Jahr 2024 gaben 74% der Marketer an , in ihrem Beruf schon aktiv KI in irgendeiner Form zu verwenden. 2023 lag diese Zahl noch bei 21%. Das ist ein Anstieg von ~250% im Vergleich zum Vorjahr und zeigt, wie sehr KI speziell das Online Marketing prägt. Dabei reicht die Nutzung von Datenanalysen über Recherchearbeiten bis hin zu Content Creation, wie etwa der Erstellung von Bildern oder Texten für Blogeinträge (dieser hier ist aber zu 100% aus Menschenhand, großes AndroidenPfadfinderehrenwort). Doch auch in Tools, die Marketer in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten verwendet haben, finden immer mehr KI-Features Einzug . Das geht so weit, dass beispielsweise in Google Ads oder Meta Ads schon ganze Kampagnentypen fast vollständig mit Automatisierung laufen. Laut Google, Meta und weiteren Werbeplattformen. sollen diese Kampagnentypen (Performance Max, Advantage+, Accelerate Campaigns, etc.) dabei helfen, schneller, einfacher und mit weniger Aufwand Accounts zu skalieren, durch die Power von KI günstiger relevanten Traffic zu generieren und bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen, indem sie Vorarbeiten und Setup-Aufwände teils drastisch reduzieren, weniger operative Pflege benötigen und insgesamt eine personalisiertere Ansprache ermöglichen. Dass dies nicht immer der Realität entspricht, ist mittlerweile hinreichend bekannt und zeigt sich vor allem dann, wenn die Performance der Kampagnen plötzlich schwächelt. In solchen Situationen offenbaren sich die “Schattenseiten” der Automatisierung , denn mehr Automation bedeutet gleichzeitig auch mehr Blackbox weniger Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, sowie eine Abkehr von den “klassischen” Optimierungsmaßnahmen. Was also tun, wenn unsere Kampagnen unter den Erwartungen bleiben, und wir die begrenzten Möglichkeiten der Tools selbst schon ausgeschöft haben? Ganz einfach, es müssen weitere Optimierungsmaßnahmen her! In unserer Blog-Serie zeigen wir dir 5 Tipps, wie die eigene Online Marketing Strategie auch in Zeiten der Automation noch relevant bleibt . #1 Auf Business-Ziele optimieren Wann hast du eigentlich das letzte Mal deine Business-Ziele definiert und/oder angepasst ? Wenn du jetzt länger darüber nachdenken musst, wird es vermutlich mal wieder dringend Zeit. Denn diese können sich im Laufe der Zeit ändern, bedingt durch Veränderungen im eigenen Unternehmen, oder anderen, externen Faktoren, wie etwa eine sich ändernde Wirtschaftslage, höherer Konkurrenzdruck oder andere unvorhersehbare Gegebenheiten. Doch wie wählt man eigentlich die richtigen Geschäftsziele aus? Für die Definition der eigenen Geschäftsziele gibt es unterschiedliche Ansätze. Besonders verbreitet und populär ist die Verwendung von sogenannten SMART-Goals . Das Akronym steht hierbei für S pecific M easurable A chievable R elevant T ime-bound. Kurz zusammengefasst bedeutet das, wir sollten uns überlegen, welche Ziele wir genau erreichen wollen und wie wir den (Miss-)Erfolg messen können. Die Ziele sollten immer realistisch und damit erreichbar sein und eine hohe Relevanz für uns haben. Zum Abschluss sollte es eine Deadline geben, bis zu der die Ziele erreicht werden sollen, sowie im Optimalfall auch Kontrollpunkte dazwischen, um den Fortschritt zu überprüfen und bei Bedarf weitere Maßnahmen einzuleiten. Dabei ist die Wahl der richtigen Conversions gar nicht so einfach, denn nicht jede mögliche Aktion auf der Webseite ist für uns von gleichwertiger Bedeutung. Die folgenden vier Fragen können dabei helfen, die relevantesten Conversions zu identifizieren. Welche Conversions sollen ausgelöst werden? Zunächst stellt sich die Frage, welche Aktion(en) die optimalen Nutzer*innen auslösen sollen. Je nach Marketing-Strategie kann das beispielsweise der Download eines PDFs, eine Kontaktanfrage oder auch der klassische Kauf sein . Möglicherweise haben wir auch schon einen eigenen Funnel, der bei der Weiterqualifizierung hilft. Lassen sich Conversionwerte beziffern? Der einfachste Fall ist hier mit Sicherheit der Kauf, da sich dort der Wert logischerweise aus dem verkaufen Produkt errechnet. Was aber, wenn wir eine Dienstleistung anbieten, die nicht pauschal auf einen Wert festzulegen ist? In diesem Fall können wir versuchen, den Wert anderweitig zu ermitteln. Die Intention der Vergabe von Werten für Conversions begründet sich darin, dass es damit zum einen leichter fällt, einen ROI zu berechnen, und zum anderen den Werbeplattformen spezifische Signale zur Bedeutung der Conversions gibt, auf die dann etwaige Gebotsstrategien (bspw. Ziel-ROAS) optimieren können. Gibt es Unterschiede bei Upselling / CLTV? Haben wir Produkte, die häufig in Kombination mit anderen Produkten gekauft werden, bietet sich hier die Möglichkeit, per Cross-/Upselling den durchschnittlichen Conversion-Wert zu erhöhen. Deshalb kann es auch von Vorteil sein, solche Produkte oder Dienstleistungen besonders stark zu bewerben, selbst wenn der initiale Wert niedriger ist als bei anderen. Produkte, die in der Regel wiederholt gekauft werden oder zu weiterführenden Käufen führen, erhöhen zusätzlich den Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) . Gibt es Einstiegshürden / typische Probleme? Möglicherweise ist für viele Nutzer das Produkt zu teuer, oder sie finden nicht auf Anhieb was sie suchen. Vielleicht wissen sie auch noch nicht, dass wir Lösungen anbieten, die genau bei ihren Problemen helfen. Letzteres beobachten wir besonders häufig im B2B. Diese Faktoren könnten auch dafür sorgen, dass bestimmte Conversions seltener oder im Extremfall gar nicht ausgelöst werden, weil die initiale Hürde zu groß ist . Hier kann es von Vorteil sein, sich vorerst auf Produkte und Dienstleistungen zu fokussieren, die weniger erklärungsbedürftig, oder in der Preiskategorie etwas tiefer angesiedelt sind, um dann im Anschluss diese Personen weiterzuqualifizieren. Besonders im Ecommerce kann es sich besonders lohnen, in Google Ads & Co nicht nur auf einen reinen ROAS zu optimieren, sondern auch den Gewinn miteinzubeziehen , denn ROAS ist nicht gleich Gewinn! Von Haus aus können die Tools auch mithilfe von Automation keine Margen bei der Optimierung berücksichtigen, dazu fehlen den Maschinen schlicht und ergreifend die nötigen Informationen. Spielen wir diese Daten aber zusätzlich zurück, können wir dem Algorithmus einen Schubs in die richtige Richtung geben und so insgesamt die Performance steigern. Zwar kann der ROAS in den Konten dadurch sinken, solange sich aber der Gewinn erhöht, laufen die Kampagnen optimierter ausgerichtet auf unsere Business-Ziele . Zusätzlich sollten wir in regelmäßigen Abständen einen Abgleich zwischen den bestverkaufenden Produkten im Backend und denen in Google Ads, Meta, und dergleichen machen. Hier kann es nämlich zu signifikanten Unterschieden kommen, was uns die Möglichkeit gibt, bestimmte Produkte auf verschiedenen Kanälen unterschiedlich stark zu bewerben . Letztlich stellt sich auch immer die Frage: Sollen verstärkt Neukunden angesprochen werden, oder setzen wir vermehrt auf die Reaktivierung von Bestandskunden ? Beide Ziele sind valide, bringen aber unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen bei der Bewerbung mit sich. Die Neukundenakquise kann bis zu 5x teurer sein , als Bestandskunden zu einem erneuten Kauf anzuregen. Dafür können wir so aber auch unser Kundenportfolio deutlich einfacher erweitern . Müssen wir mit einem stark limitierten Budget agieren, könnten wir aber auch gut beraten sein, hauptsächlich auf (dynamisches) Remarketing zu setzen, um so potenziell kostengünstiger Umsatz zu generieren. Berücksichtigen wir alle diese Punkte, fällt es uns anschließend deutlich einfacher, die richtigen Unternehmensziele zu identifizieren , uns darauf zu fokussieren und diese auch nachhaltig voranzutreiben. Und davon profitiert dann letztendlich auch das ganze Unternehmen. Vielen Dank für deine Aufmerksamkeit! Hoffentlich war es aufschlussreich, und du konntest etwas davon für dich mitnehmen! Im zweiten Teil unserer Miniserie beschäftigen wir uns näher mit dem Thema Kanal-Diversifizierung . Haben wir etwas Wichtiges vergessen, oder hast du noch Fragen zum Thema?

Die Landschaft des digitalen Marketings hat sich in den letzten Jahren rasant entwickelt. Mit schnellen Fortschritten in der Datenerhebung, -analyse und Zielgruppenansprache stehen Marketer*innen vor einer wachsenden Nachfrage nach intelligenten, personalisierten Strategien. Die Datenmenge nimmt stetig zu, und die Notwendigkeit für schnelle, präzise Entscheidungen war noch nie so groß. Hier kommt Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ins Spiel – ein revolutionäres Werkzeug, das Effizienz, Genauigkeit und Kampagnenleistung erheblich steigert. Wir zeigen euch, wie wir KI nutzen, um unsere Arbeitsabläufe zu optimieren, Kunden- und Kundinnen-Insights zu verbessern und bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Die Rolle von KI im Performance Marketing KI spielt im Marketing mehrere Rollen – von der Datenanalyse und Erkennung von Kundenmustern bis hin zur Automatisierung von Prozessen und KI-gestützte Kampagnen. Durch die Integration von KI-basierten Tools erreichen wir: Schnellere und präzisere Datenanalyse Optimiertes und automatisiertes Kampagnenmanagement Verbesserte Zielgruppensegmentierung und Personalisierung Genaue Vorhersagen durch KI-gestützte Kampagnen Diese Vorteile führen zu mehr Effizienz, besseren Entscheidungen und letztendlich zu höheren Marketing Renditen. Verantwortungsvolle Anwendungsmöglichkeiten KI Bevor wir uns konkreten Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von KI widmen, sind zwei Grundprinzipien zu beachten: Datenschutz & Sicherheit – Wir geben keine Kund:innendaten an KI-Tools weiter, um die Einhaltung von Datenschutzbestimmungen zu gewährleisten. Qualitätskontrolle – KI kann qualitativ hochwertige Ergebnisse liefern, aber wir überprüfen und optimieren diese stets, um Fehler und Unstimmigkeiten zu vermeiden. Nun sehen wir uns die praktischen Einsatzgebiete von KI im Performance Marketing an. 1. KI-gestützte Marktforschung Ein tiefgehendes Verständnis des Marktes ist entscheidend für eine erfolgreiche Kampagnenplanung. Bei neuen Kund:innen oder Projekten starten wir mit einer umfassenden Marktforschung. Neben klassischen Kund*innenbriefings, die Informationen über das Unternehmen, Produkte, den Markt und Mitbewerber*innen enthalten, nutzen wir KI-gestützte Tools wie ChatGPT und Gemini, um eine zusätzliche Marktanalyse zu erstellen. Dies hilft uns: Potenzielle Lücken in der Erforschung zu identifizieren Neue Perspektiven auf das Kundenverhalten zu gewinnen Datengetriebene Annahmen zu validieren Ein Beispiel: Wir geben die URL einer Kund*innenwebsite ein und lassen KI eine Zusammenfassung des Unternehmens, der Wettbewerber:innen und der Markttrends erstellen. Dieses Ergebnis wird mit unseren internen Analysen abgeglichen, um seine Genauigkeit zu gewährleisten. 2. Entwicklung von Marketingstrategien KI verbessert maßgeblich die Entwicklung und Verfeinerung von Marketingstrategien. Wir nutzen KI insbesondere für: Detaillierte Zielgruppenanalyse & Segmentierung – KI hilft uns, Zielgruppen basierend auf Interessen, Verhalten und demografischen Merkmalen zu gruppieren, um gezieltere Kampagnen zu gestalten. Persona-Entwicklung – Durch KI-gestützte Analysen können wir detaillierte Kundenprofile erstellen und Marketingbotschaften personalisieren. Predictive Marketing & Analytics – KI-Modelle analysieren historische Daten, um zukünftige Entwicklungen vorherzusagen, sodass wir Strategien proaktiv anpassen können. Wir arbeiten aktuell an der internen Entwicklung eines KITools für Unternehmen, das Daten aus Google Ads, META und GA4 integriert, um Conversion-Raten vorherzusagen und Budgets optimal zu verteilen. 3. Content-Erstellung Content ist das Herzstück jeder Marketingkampagne, und KI erleichtert kreative Prozesse erheblich. Keyword-Recherche & Anzeigentexte KI-basierte Tools wie ChatGPT und Copy.ai helfen uns, relevante Keywords für die Kampagnen zu generieren. Diese Tools unterstützen uns beim Verfassen von Anzeigen, sodass sie den Best Practices entsprechen und die Markenstimme beibehalten wird. Erstellung kreativer Inhalte KI-gestützte Design-Tools wie Canva AI und Adcreative.ai ermöglichen die schnelle Erstellung von Bannern und Visuals. Einige Werbeplattformen, darunter Google Ads und META, integrieren bereits KI-generierte kreative Elemente direkt in ihre Kampagnentools. Obwohl KI die Content-Erstellung beschleunigt, überprüfen und optimieren wir stets alle Inhalte, um Konsistenz und Qualität sicherzustellen. 4. Kampagnenoptimierung & -management Über Strategie und Content hinaus spielt KI eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Optimierung laufender Kampagnen. Wir haben KI-gestützte Skripte und Tools entwickelt, um: Automatische Budgetanpassungen vorzunehmen – Ein von uns entwickeltes Skript hilft, Budgets dynamisch basierend auf der Performance zu verteilen. Zum Beispiel: Brand-Kampagnen mit einer CTR oder Conversion-Rate über 10 % erhalten 20 % des neuen Budgets. Erfolgreiche Non-Brand-Kampagnen erhalten 60 % des Budgets. Schwächer performende Kampagnen erhalten die verbleibenden 20 %. Performance-Prognosen zu erstellen – KI-gestützte Vorhersagemodelle helfen uns, zukünftige Trends zu erkennen. Durch die Analyse historischer Daten können wir abschätzen, wie Kampagnen in den nächsten 60 Tagen abschneiden werden. Diese KI-basierten Tools ermöglichen eine schnellere und genauere Kampagnenoptimierung als herkömmliche manuelle Methoden. Fazit: KI revolutioniert weiterhin das digitale Marketing und hilft Unternehmen, mit der steigenden Komplexität datengetriebener Kampagnen Schritt zu halten. Trotz aller Vorteile müssen Datenschutz und die Qualität der generierten Inhalte stets gewährleistet sein. Durch die Integration von KI in Marktforschung, Strategieentwicklung, Content-Erstellung und Kampagnenmanagement steigern wir unsere Effizienz und erzielen bessere Ergebnisse. Doch KI ersetzt keine menschliche Expertise – sie ergänzt sie, indem sie uns intelligenter arbeiten lässt. Interessiert an den Möglichkeiten von KI für Ihr Unternehmen?

Optimize PDF SEO the Right Way!

SEO

Now that all necessary measures for search engine optimization (also: SEO ) have been taken and the website achieves top rankings? Even if the first steps are successfully mastered, the next step comes - SEO for PDFs! [object Object] The PDF file is notoriously not well-regarded in the SEO world, but sometimes it's unavoidable. This is partly due to the static format (HTML pages are not as easily downloadable) and partly due to the user experience: some people prefer to read certain content offline, and PDF files usually provide detailed information that isn't always suitable for HTML pages due to text length (extensive scrolling and unnecessary information can, in the worst case, lead to bounce rates). So PDFs have their own target audience that can and should be addressed. Therefore, optimizing PDFs for search engines is worthwhile, even if it brings some challenges. Back to the roots: History and relevance of PDFs Regular users of Google search know that organic search results can include not only websites but also PDF documents. In fact, PDF files have been in the Google index since the year 2000: PDF file in Google search - https://www.internetwarriors.de/ The PDF format (Portable Document Format) has existed since the early '90s - developed by Adobe Inc. - and can contain both text and images, forms, links, etc. Today it stands for the open standard (ISO) and is very popular for its accessibility. [object Object] The inclusion by search engines allowed users a broader access to information. This added value resulted in the discussed indexing of static PDF files. This was the starting shot for another discipline of search engine optimization: SEO PDF. [object Object] Though PDF files differ from 'classic' web formats, they offer numerous advantages for SEO. This isn't just about the profit for users, but also about keywords (PDFs can be excellently optimized for keywords), backlinks (PDFs as a source for backlinks), and enduring content. Therefore, when well-integrated into the SEO strategy, PDFs can provide significant added value. Search engine optimization for PDFs: Doing it right! To understand how to optimize PDF documents, two main questions arise: How does Google rank PDF files? What decides their position compared to websites? And ultimately - what differentiates PDFs from classic websites? Two points stand out: PDFs are generally longer Users tend to link less to PDF documents Google itself also says that determining relevance is difficult because it depends on personal preference whether a user prefers to read a PDF or a website. Different search engines handle this differently and so only some helpful hints can be provided here. Find out what these are! But first, a golden rule: Google, as a text-based search engine, needs real text to optimally read and evaluate a document. PDFs often consist of images, especially if they are scanned book pages, etc. With the help of OCR software (Optical Character Recognition - a technology many are familiar with from scanners), Google might be able to better read images containing text in the future, but until then, pure text documents are the better choice. This is where SEO optimization for PDFs begins: Formatting, adjusting, and reformatting As mentioned, PDF SEO optimization starts with the correct file format. It's simple to check if it’s correct: if text from a PDF document can be copied and pasted into, e.g., a Word file, it is real text. Even if tables are present in a file, they should be text-based. Selectable text isn’t the only requirement for the correct format. Besides the text content, other aspects need to be considered, such as file size. Following the principle “as small as possible” practically ensures you can’t go wrong in this regard. Generally, file size reflects loading speed and download duration. A size under 1 MB is generally considered user-friendly, but some PDFs require more, justified by the amount of content. Additionally, a range between 1 and 5 MB can be seen as optimal, with anything over 1 MB aimed at large files and documents. It’s important to consider image compression to prevent unnecessarily increasing the file size. Always ask whether the file size suits its purpose and prioritize user experience. [object Object] Don’t overlook the write protection of PDFs - it’s crucial to prevent changes and modifications to the original files. Despite crawlers accessing write-protected PDFs, indexing them is usually pointless. It’s recommended to set such PDFs to noindex.  [object Object] In summary: Correct formatting is the first step in PDF SEO optimization. It also ensures readability and accessibility, essential for a positive user experience. Content determines success “Content is King” seems to be one of the most well-known and current quotes, even though it originates from a 1996 essay by Bill Gates. The saying has become somewhat of a cliché and has its place in the online marketing world. It’s also a rule in search engine optimization when it comes to content creation. PDFs are no exception. [object Object] The rule always applies - it’s all about the users. Thus, the PDF should provide added value if a good ranking is to be achieved. It needs not only SEO optimization but also informative, relevant, and useful content for the user. Added value, quality, and credibility are crucial for E-E-A-T optimization , making it essential to create high-quality content. [object Object] Content optimization for PDFs follows the same rules as for 'normal' HTML pages - one of the most important: it must be unique. This means: PDFs should provide additional information to the HTML content, may complement them, but must not be identical. This leads to the issue of duplicate content. If there’s a good reason to duplicate content, a Canonical Tag must not be forgotten. [object Object] In terms of keyword optimization, there are almost no differences: PDFs should and must be keyword optimized because search engines find and index PDFs through relevant keywords. Care should be taken to integrate keywords as naturally as possible into the content, and they should also appear in headings, title tags, meta descriptions, and file names. PDF Mastery: Onpage optimization for maximum success An onpage optimization is also required for PDF SEO. Essentially, it is very similar to onpage optimization of HTML pages. When done correctly, discoverability, user experience, and accessibility can benefit. [object Object] The first concern should be the file name : it should be as descriptive and simple as possible. Integrating a meaningful keyword into the file name is a helpful step, as it facilitates indexing by search engines. However, avoid using special characters and prefer hyphens - this measure is partly for better compatibility (for various software and operating systems), URL friendliness, and error avoidance (special characters have specific meanings in the file system). [object Object] Next, the title , part of the metadata, should be optimized. Common SEO rules apply here - length (max. 60 characters), unique design, relevant keywords, and brand at the end of the title. The title is directly stored in the PDF file and is an essential part of PDF SEO. It's possible to save the file name as the title simultaneously, which is also a permissible implementation. This must now be noted in the settings (Adobe Acrobat) accordingly. [object Object] Contrasting with the title, the meta description or description is not quite identical to what is known from SEO optimization. For PDFs, metadata includes title, author, keywords, and content summaries. Additionally, further information can be added via additional metadata. Except for keywords, which no longer have ranking relevance, all fields must be filled out. Even with different handling of PDF files, it is advisable to still consider the description's length (max. 160 characters) and add a usual call-to-action. Traditionally, headings play a very special role in SEO: …they structure content for users and search engines …provide an excellent opportunity to integrate keywords for better ranking …improve user experience …facilitate navigation, especially for users relying on screen readers …highlight content Moreover, headings are an important ranking factor. Therefore, it's crucial to equip not only websites but also PDFs with good headings. The same rules as for HTML pages should be followed - no unnecessary headings, keyword optimization, one H1 per page or document, and maintaining logical order. Inserting headings is very straightforward using Adobe Acrobat (or PDF-XChange Editor) or already in the Word file (with subsequent export of the document as PDF). [object Object] If content is considered a king in the SEO world, then internal linking is at least a hidden bridge to SEO success. Internal linking is also very relevant for PDFs, as it can increase the value of the PDF itself and its visibility. Internal linking can be well implemented through relevant keywords in the content. It is merely necessary to maintain thematic coherence and link to pages that fit the PDF's content. Moreover, anchor texts should not be overlooked, nor should the embedding in the sitemap. If backlinks from high-quality websites point to the document, there is an excellent chance to improve authority and visibility and thus work into the E-E-A-T concept. Furthermore, internal linking is almost indispensable if one wants to optimize PDFs for SEO. Tech-Tuning: Optimize your PDF! Once content, keywords, and onpage aspects for PDFs are optimized, the first half is done. The next and almost last step should be technical optimization. [object Object] Including it in the sitemap is essential for universal and/or current PDFs. However, one should start with the added value - does the PDF file offer it to the user? If this question can be positively answered and the criteria are met, then the sitemap is the right place for PDFs. The advantages are similar to HTML pages - direct indexing, better discoverability, improved performance, and proactive control of the indexing process. However, if certain files are to be excluded from indexing, this can also be done using the “noindex” tag. [object Object] The canonical tag should be correctly used and applied: Is the PDF content similar or even identical to the HTML page content? If so, the canonical tag is indispensable to avoid the issue of duplicate content. [object Object] The SEO optimization of PDFs also requires mobile optimization - correspondingly, aspects that characterize a mobile-friendly file should be considered - starting with file size (shouldn't be too large) to correct formatting (e.g., portrait orientation, left-aligned text, use of sections & headings, good structuring, etc.). If these points are observed, PDF search engine optimization is on the right track! PDF without barriers: Accessibility redefined! The topic of web accessibility has been discussed for a long time - and rightly so! Websites should be accessible to everyone, and from June 2025, this becomes mandatory. Hence, basic adaptations should be made in PDFs: All images/graphics should have alt texts Headings and tags must also be implemented Content must be text-based but also need appropriate contrast and readable typeface Lastly: Don’t forget necessary configurations for screen readers. [object Object] The good news is that all these measures can be directly implemented in PDF programs like Adobe Acrobat or the PDF-XChange Editor. Afterward, you can use the accessibility check (also available in the programs) to verify implementation. SEO PDF Accessibility PDF Tracking: Measuring with Precision Those wanting to measure performance should definitely consider tracking. This is also part of PDF SEO and can be used effectively. It provides a way to understand how users interact with the PDF document. There are many methods suitable for tracking PDF files - everyone can find what works best for them. However, the tracking concept should be approached with caution, always weighing its necessity. SEO Optimization for PDFs: Strategies for Success Even if PDF SEO is considered complex, it’s worth optimizing such files correctly. It should not be underestimated that PDFs can be SEO-relevant for several reasons: Indexing of content (text-based) Additional opportunity for keyword optimization Positive user experience Distribution of link equity Sustainable content PDFs are thus a valuable addition to the website, offering content expansion, targeting specific audiences, and appropriately optimized can increase visibility. If you follow the rules and properly implement search engine optimization for PDFs and fundamentally include the use of PDF files in the SEO strategy, you can only benefit from the expanded content format!

Custom Columns in Google Ads: The Ultimate Guide to Greater Data Transparency

Google Ads offers a variety of standard reports that provide valuable insights into campaign performance. However, these reports often reach their limits when it comes to analyzing specific data points or creating individual evaluations. This is where custom columns come into play. With custom columns, you can tailor Google Ads data to your needs, gathering the information most relevant to you. In this blog article, we explore how custom columns work and introduce you to important formulas you can implement directly in your account. What are custom columns? Custom columns in Google Ads are specially tailored data fields that you can define yourself. Unlike the predefined columns available by default in Google Ads, custom columns offer the flexibility to create your own metrics and perform complex calculations. This feature is especially useful for gaining detailed insights into your campaign performance and tracking specific metrics. Benefits of using custom columns Using custom columns in Google Ads offers numerous benefits: 1. Personalization of data analysis: You can create metrics that are precisely tailored to your business goals. For instance, you can calculate ROI, Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), or other business-specific KPIs. 2. Increased efficiency: Custom columns in Google Ads allow you to perform complex data calculations directly in the Google Ads interface, reducing the need for external spreadsheets and speeding up the analysis process. 3. Improved decision-making: With tailored metrics, you can make more informed decisions, gaining specific insights into your campaign performance that would otherwise be hidden. 4. Better reporting: Custom columns facilitate the creation of detailed reports that provide your stakeholders with exactly the information they need. Creation and implementation of custom columns Creating custom columns in Google Ads is a relatively simple process. Here are the basic steps: [object Object] Log into your Google Ads account and go to the campaign area. On the right side, you will find the "Columns" menu item. Figure 1: Step 1 Select Columns   Click "Custom," but you can also get there via "Customize Columns." In the next step, you will reach the overview page and open "Custom Columns." Figure 2: Step 2 Customize Columns for Campaigns   From here, you can create the corresponding columns. Figure 3: Step 3 Create Columns   Give the column a name and description. Choose the desired metric and calculation formula. Formulas and calculations: You can use simple calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to create your custom metric. Once you've created the custom column, you can add it to your reports and dashboards. This allows you to monitor and analyze your campaigns' performance using the new metrics. Important custom columns for Google Ads To help you get started, we've compiled some useful custom columns that you can create directly in your Google Ads account: 1. Expected costs for the current month: This column shows you the monthly budget you should expect if you don't change existing settings or budgets. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! 2. Cost-per-conversion by conversion action: This column shows the average cost per conversion for various conversion actions (e.g., purchase, newsletter signup). This helps you better understand the profitability of your conversion actions. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! Here is an excerpt of conversions we have set up in our account: Figure 4: Overview of created conversions   These are also associated with the respective CPA per conversion. The above data provides extremely useful insights into each conversion phase. Different views can also be examined to see which search terms, keywords, and ads perform accordingly, allowing you to find out very specifically where you need to optimize, cut, or increase your budget. 3. CPA in the last 7 days: This column shows the average CPA in the last 7 days. This allows you to compare the development of the CPA over the last 30 days and the last week at a glance. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! 4. ROAS in the last 7 days: This column shows the average ROAS in the last 7 days. This allows you to compare the development of the ROAS over the last 30 days and the last week at a glance. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! 5. Budget utilization: The "Budget Utilization" column shows the percentage of the set daily budget that the campaign spent on average per day in the last 7 days. It is important to note that if the daily budget is increased or decreased, the column will change accordingly. This means it is only meaningful if the budget is not adjusted.

The SEO world is famously very diverse - content SEO, E-commerce SEO, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, technical SEO, and local SEO. Many of these intertwine and are difficult to separate. Although each type of SEO has its own peculiarities and nuances, there is also a common foundation that is the same across different types of SEO. [object Object] One of the most current SEO topics is local SEO. What is local SEO and where does it come from? The origins of this field date back to 2005. With the launch of Google Maps, the local aspect suddenly became very relevant. Since then, it has been gaining more and more importance. While traditional search engine optimization focuses on being easily found on Google, local search engine optimization aims to be found when users are searching for a result in their immediate area. [object Object] It is implemented in different forms - from the Google Business Profile to local keywords. But what does it include and how is it optimized? It's not enough to just specify the city Local business SEO is not just about keywords or the city name in the title tag. It's much more about strategy, planning, and execution. The goal of local SEO is to optimize local visibility, such as how the service or product is presented and its visibility with a local context. The search results are displayed based on the users' location. The increasing relevance of local SEO is due to the fact that nowadays, many people (if not most) are mobile. This means that, for instance, when looking for a restaurant or a good online marketing agency, local SEO is the way to go: Fig.1: Local Search - 360 Online Marketing Agency For companies, local SEO is not only a cost-effective strategy but also a way to stand out from the competition. With a well-crafted profile, specific and locally tailored content, as well as feedback and reviews, your visibility will shine in new colors. As a small bonus - it helps you gain and strengthen your customers' trust! [object Object] Overall, local SEO is your excellent chance to position yourself locally and gain market presence! Opportunities and limits of Local SEO Of course, you must always weigh the pros and cons. SEO for local businesses has a different tone and, while it offers many bonus points, it also presents its own challenges: The local aspect : The local aspect, which is the focus of local search engine optimization, can be both a curse and a blessing. Compared to classic SEO measures, the website is found in certain geographic regions with a local SEO strategy, making it difficult to rank for general queries. If the company's main target is at the local level, this is definitely an advantage. However, if you want to be visible beyond one city, you should consider combined SEO strategies and not rely solely on local SEO. Continuous change in algorithms : One should always remember that search engine algorithms change very quickly, so it's important to keep adapting local SEO strategies. Competition : Especially in certain local industries, competition can be very strong, which brings certain challenges. Time investment : The time investment is another factor because you can't do SEO halfheartedly. The effort in local SEO involves keeping all information up-to-date. In certain industries, the frequency can be relatively high, but the profiles should still be kept current and maintained. Reviews : Feedback, reviews, and testimonials strengthen customer trust, and that's true! But one must not forget that reviews are not always positive. A negative review can have serious consequences and requires immediate action. A thoughtful and constructive response to a negative comment can also create trust. If you're wondering if the effort is worth it, the answer is: Absolutely, because the benefits are huge. Targeted reach : With local SEO, you can specifically target users in your area searching for products or services, significantly increasing the likelihood of interaction. Visibility : A good placement in local search results will not only increase your visibility in the region but also encourage customer interactions, both online and offline. [object Object] Cost-effectiveness: Compared to many traditional marketing measures, local SEO is a cost-effective solution, mainly relying on organic traffic. However, if you do not have enough experience in the industry, working with a local SEO agency is a good decision to balance efficiency and costs. Mobile search : As mentioned before, mobile phones are the most commonly used search medium. Local SEO is ideal to reach users seeking local insights while on the go. Trust : A business can enhance its image in the community through positive customer reviews, building trust. Practical tips from professionals: How local SEO works! It's essential to evaluate and be clear on what marketing measure is right. Even if it seems like there's a formulaic approach in practice, it's not all that straightforward. If you're unsure whether local search engine optimization is right for you, answer this simple question: Does your business (store, restaurant, shop, etc.) have a fixed location? If you can answer this question with "Yes," then it's the right SEO strategy for you! Local SEO works when there is a location that can be visited. If your business is only online, it doesn't make sense. This is because most users will make very specific search queries with local references, such as "Pizza place Mitte" or "Beauty salon Schöneberg Berlin." Geographical orientation is the starting point. Once the question of choosing the right SEO strategy is clarified, here are some fundamental tips to maximize local visibility: Google Business Profile Google has its own local SEO management. To be present there, you need to know the rules. The first one is: "Create a Google Business Profile." Formerly known as “Google My Business,” the Google Business Profile is of enormous importance for local optimization. From the provided information, Google can determine relevant insights like reviews, opening hours, photos for local rankings, and display these alongside local hits: Fig.2: Google Business Profile - internetwarriors GmbH Moreover, connections to Google Maps, Google Street View, and Google Local Pack (also known as Google 3-Pack) are only possible with the Google Business Profile. Another advantage of this platform is that it is developed directly by Google and thus also considered in organic search. This means you can appear in local Google search results, even if the content on your website hasn't been optimized. NAP NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone number and is another important component of local SEO. This information is essential for Google and should be consistent everywhere: On third-party platforms, on your own website, and within the Google Business Profile. The spelling should be uniform as well. Otherwise, it can lead to confusion, especially for users, but also for search engines, leading to negative ranking effects. On-page & Content Anyone familiar with on-page SEO will not find major differences in local on-page SEO. One should pay attention to the same components: keywords, title tags, meta descriptions, headings, etc. But since it's about the local context, this should also be mirrored everywhere. If the title tag says, for instance, "Delicious Italian Pizza," it's best to add the city or district, for example, "Delicious Italian Pizza from Berlin-Schöneberg." The same rules apply to meta descriptions and headings. With keywords, local relevance should also be considered. This applies to the content as well. Users should understand that it is a local provider. Of course, don't forget that the content must provide value and high quality. It’s much more about the substance than marking every sentence with a keyword of local relevance. Structured Data Let's not forget structured data. Even if users do not see it, structured data is visible to search engines. By marking all necessary data, you can also benefit. Search engines recognize such information (e.g., address, opening hours, etc.) and use it for display in search results. They also contribute to better local ranking. Moreover, using structured data provides the opportunity to display rich snippets. Mobile Optimization Though it seems evident, the relevance of mobile optimization should not be neglected. On one hand, local SEO is perfect for mobile search; on the other hand, it is generally important for ranking and visibility. Furthermore, some simple rules should be followed: The less, the better: Your website’s code should not be overloaded to achieve fast loading speeds. Your website's content should not be overloaded either. Users should not have to scroll excessively, whether on desktop or mobile, to reach the desired content. Responsive Design: This is by far the most important aspect. When designing the website, responsive design should always be implemented so the content adjusts dynamically to all mobile sizes. Business Directory Back in the day, people often looked up the Yellow Pages to find desired information and addresses. Today, everything is digitized, and numerous digital business directories exist. Utilizing this opportunity and registering your business there can yield additional benefits. Reviews and Testimonials Your local SEO checklist should not miss handling reviews & testimonials! The reviews and testimonials left by customers can lift or lower the business. Negative reviews undermine trust. But you should respond to such reviews and make a statement. Therefore: Don't leave reviews unanswered and never delete negative reviews! It's important to handle criticism and not panic. [object Object] Also, try encouraging customers to give feedback and leave reviews, as the more reviews there are, the stronger the profile. Regularity is also a positive signal for search engines. However, you should collect genuine reviews to gain trust from both users and search engines. Backlinks Working with backlinks is also part of local SEO. Therefore, after completing all mentioned measures, start building relevant backlinks from websites in the local environment. Attention should be paid to the importance of links. We always recommend generic, or free, backlinks collection, as it offers significant added value. Helpful steps include using PR measures or collaborating with other local businesses. Local SEO - Your To-Do List When opting for local search engine optimization, always keep a cool head. Proper implementation brings great added value! Local SEO increases visibility in local search results and is the first point of contact when looking for services or products nearby. Additionally, it generates targeted traffic and highlights local brand presence. In summary, these are the To-Do’s that must be checked off for effective local search engine optimization: Google My Business Profile Local keywords Structured data NAP On-page & content Possibly expand social media profiles Maintain reviews Mobile optimization Backlinks We are happy to help you implement your local SEO strategies!

Improve Internal Linking for SEO: A Guide to a Successful Strategy

In the world of search engine optimization, there are numerous strategies and techniques to enhance the visibility of a website. One often underestimated but highly effective method is optimizing internal linking. Internal linking in SEO serves to connect different pages within a website. This plays a crucial role not only in navigation and user-friendliness but also in distributing what is known as "Link Juice," which increases the authority and relevance of pages in the eyes of search engines. In this blog post, you'll learn how to improve your SEO strategy through thoughtful and targeted internal linking. Discover the best practices to satisfy both your users and search engines and ultimately improve your ranking. As a basis for the concept of your internal linking, you will learn in a step-by-step guide how to analyze the current state and identify potential areas of improvement. Definition and significance for SEO Basically, there are two types of hyperlinks: Internal links are connections that lead from your website to a subpage within your website. They help users navigate through your site and assist search engines in understanding the structure and hierarchy of your site. The advantage is that you have 100% control over them. External links , on the other hand, lead from a completely different domain to your website or vice versa. They can enhance credibility. However, you do not have full control over these and are dependent on other websites. This blog post will focus solely on internal linking. An important term in this context is "link juice." Link juice is the strength of a page. It consists of the quality and number of incoming links as well as their distribution across a website. As a result, the homepage has the most link juice and can pass it on through internal links. Links from pages considered more important transfer more link power than links from less important pages . A page is deemed important when many other important pages link to it. Link power is not distributed evenly. For example, if there are 100 internal links, they do not each receive 1/100 link power. Some links receive more, others less link power. The significance for SEO is diverse. Internal links enhance the user experience by helping visitors easily reach the desired information. For search engines, internal links are indicators of which pages on your website are most important. Pages that receive many internal links are considered particularly relevant and can rank higher in search results. Additionally, internal links make it easier for search engine crawlers to explore and index your site, thereby improving the discoverability and visibility of your content. Significance for Users The importance of internal links for SEO is diverse. They improve the user experience by helping visitors easily find the desired information. Within a text, for example, other products or services of the company are linked. This allows users to reach the page directly via the link without having to navigate to the site's menu. A well-thought-out internal linking strategy for SEO can help increase the user's time spent on your site. This can lead to better rankings in search results, as search engines consider user behavior in evaluating a site. Significance for Search Engines For search engines, internal links are an indicator of which pages on your site are most important. Pages with high link juice are considered particularly relevant and can rank higher in search results. Additionally, internal links make it easier for search engine crawlers to explore and index your site. This, in turn, improves the discoverability and visibility of your content. We occasionally hear the idea of marking links with nofollow to save link power. However, we advise against this. In such cases, the link is not followed, but it is still perceived as a link. During the calculation of link power, this link is considered in the total count. Concrete tips for optimizing internal linking We have concrete and practical tips on how you can optimize the internal linking on your website for more efficient SEO. From identifying particularly rewarding pages to choosing the right anchor texts to strategically placing links, these tips will help you fully exploit the potential of your internal linking and sustainably improve your SEO performance. 1. Use Screaming Frog to find pages that particularly benefit from additional internal links How can you find out which pages would benefit the most from additional internal links? This is where Screaming Frog comes into play. This powerful SEO tool allows you to specifically search for pages that are currently under-linked and therefore have great potential for additional internal links. Especially for pages that already have high traffic and are relatively poorly linked, there is a high probability that additional links will increase visibility and relevance in search results. First, create an API connection with Google Search Console : [object Object] 1. Configuration → API Access → Google Search Console [object Object] 2. Log in and select domain → OK Figure 1: Screaming Frog Guide: Set up API access Then start the crawl of the domain and limit the dataset to relevant data : [object Object] 1. Internal → HTML [object Object] 2. Select the following columns: Address, Meta Robots 1, Inlinks, Impressions [object Object] 3. Filter: Meta Robots 1 → does not contain → "noindex" Figure 2: Screaming Frog Dataset Once the crawl is complete, you should have a manageable number of pages. Now the ratio between inlinks and impressions is relevant. For optimization, especially those pages are interesting that have many impressions but few incoming links . For these pages, optimizing internal linking is a great way to capture the low-hanging fruits (threshold keywords). If the number of URLs is too overwhelming, you can save the data and create a chart using Excel. 2. Use internal links in the content of the page When using links in the text, the so-called anchor text (or also anchor text/link text) is particularly important. You shouldn't use phrases like "Click here" or "Learn more." Because not only should users learn from the anchor text what to expect on the linked page, but so should bots. Therefore, the linked text should as closely as possible match the keyword of the target page. However, we recommend not using the same anchor text (the keyword) 1:1 for every linking of a page, as that would seem unnatural. Ideally, use variations and synonyms, sometimes single words, phrases, or even entire sentences with keywords. It's also important to consider the position of the link. The highest importance lies in links within a text. The context signals to both users and bots the context in which the link is located. The further up on the page it is placed, the more important it appears. Of course, buttons can still be used, as they are user-friendly. Pay attention to a good link text here as well. Furthermore, images can also be linked. In this case, using the alt attribute and a good image title is particularly important. Specifically, the alt text visualizes for the bots what can be seen in the images and indicates what content the target page offers. 3. Use internal links in the navigation Navigation consists mainly of the menu and the footer . The navigation can be accessed from any page, and thus the links are visible on every page. Especially the most important pages should be linked in the menu, as they receive a lot of link power from this placement. The links in the footer should also not be forgotten. However, it is not meant to contain innumerable links. Linking pages from the menu a second time in the footer makes no sense. Moreover, the links pass less link juice because they are less likely to be clicked. Seasonal pages should be well-linked internally with some lead time. If a topic is relevant in 5-6 months, the target page can be linked in the footer. However, it should be linked more prominently 2-3 months beforehand, e.g., in the menu, on the homepage, and from relevant content to show search engines that it is currently a very important page. We also recommend integrating a breadcrumb for easy navigation. The links it contains show the hierarchical depth of the active page and offer the users the opportunity to reach the correct parent page with a few clicks. As a result, it is very user-friendly and increases the number of internal links in the domain. 4. Quality over Quantity There is no optimal amount of internal links on a website. More important is that the links are relevant and make sense . If you keep this principle in mind, you cannot have too many internal links on a page. You can ask yourself for each link: Could this page be interesting for users? If that is the case, it is a good and relevant link. If you want to create a concept for the internal linking of your website from scratch, you should consider the so-called siloing . This is the topic-relevant linking . According to this principle, online shop visitors on a product detail page for a soccer shoe should not see links to products from the "T-shirts" or "Pants" categories. These are likely not relevant in this case. Instead, it makes sense to offer a link to a soccer shoe from another brand, as the users are obviously interested in this product type. Therefore, internal linking should be limited to the category in which the users currently are and should only refer to the homepages of other categories. Figure 3: Siloing - topic-relevant linking Internal Linking & SEO: Conclusion from internetwarriors Optimizing internal linking is an important but often underestimated method for improving a website's SEO strategy. Through targeted internal linking, both the user-friendliness and the visibility and relevance of pages for search engines can be significantly improved. Well-thought-out internal linking supports navigation, efficiently distributes link juice, and helps search engines better understand the structure of the website. Practical tips such as the use of tools like Screaming Frog, the correct selection and placement of anchor texts, as well as high-quality and topic-relevant linking, are essential for success. Overall, optimized internal linking contributes to longer user dwell time and a better ranking in search results. We are happy to support you in developing an SEO strategy for internal linking.

Privacy Sandbox Stopped! The Future of Chrome Third-Party Cookies

Google plans to block third-party cookies in Chrome and replace them with cohort data. However, this faced difficulties. Even though the plans were abandoned, the fear of a comprehensive tracking blockade remains. In this blog post, you'll learn more about the latest developments in tracking and how our solution can help. Chrome relies on third-party cookies – What you need to know now In 2019, Google announced that with the introduction of the Google Privacy Sandbox, it would block all third-party cookies in its Chrome browser. These measures have already been implemented by the browsers Safari and Firefox. However, Google's approach encountered significant challenges, particularly regarding the use of cohort data provided by Google based on browsing history. Instead of traditional third-party cookies, the Privacy Sandbox is intended to provide information about user groups, known as cohorts or interest groups. These groups are based on browsing history and offer advertisers a new way to reach target audiences. The problem is that marketers rely on the data provided by Google, which could allow Google to gain a monopoly position. Additionally, the results of the Privacy Sandbox trial from the first quarter of 2024 did not yield the desired outcomes. These insufficient results ultimately led to Google abandoning its plans to block third-party cookies . This was confirmed in an official blog post by Anthony Chavez. Yet, the concern over a comprehensive blockade may not necessarily be over. With Google’s new proposal, users can make informed decisions about which data to permit for tracking. This might lead many users to opt for a full or heavily restricted tracking blockade. Therefore, it remains essential to keep your advertising tracking methods up to date to counteract the effects of potential tracking blockades. A proven technology in this area is server-side tracking. Our case studies and the experiences of numerous clients show that server-side tracking can increase the captured data volume by at least 12% . Do you have any further questions or comments?

Kanal-Diversifizierung im Online Marketing

Beitragsbanner zum Thema Kanal-Diversizierung im Online Marketing

Wer alles auf eine Karte setzt, hat entweder sehr viel Glück oder verliert schnell mal einen ganzen Haufen Geld. Gleiches gilt auch im Online Marketing. Nur einen Kanal zu bespielen, ermöglicht zwar, seine Aufmerksamkeit nur darauf zu fokussieren, birgt aber auch erhebliche Risiken . Denn kommt es auf diesem Kanal zu einem Problem, ist in Windeseile das ganze Outbound Marketing aus. Wer sich also bei der Kundenakquise ausschließlich darauf verlässt, kommt schnell mal in die Bredouille. Genau deswegen ist es sinnvoll, seine Marketingstrategie durch Kanal-Diversifizierung aufzufächern. Neben der Risikoverminderung bei Ausfällen kommen noch weitere Vorteile hinzu, wie etwa: Mehr Reichweite - bestimmte Zielgruppen bevorzugen bestimmte Kanäle. Durch Diversifizierung können mehr Nutzer, und damit auch potenzielle Neukunden angesprochen werden. Höhere Brand Awareness - Eine einheitliche Message über mehrere Kanäle hinweg stärkt die Brand-Identität und erhöht die Sichtbarkeit. Mehr Data-Driven Insights - Verschiedene Kanäle geben jeweils einen einzigartigen Blick auf die Daten und ermöglichen so zusätzliche Erkenntnisse, die dabei helfen, fundiertere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Besseres Customer Engagement - Durch Interaktionen mit Nutzern auf mehreren Kanälen etablieren sich potenziell persönlichere Interaktionen und somit eine stärkere Bindung zum Unternehmen. Potenziell höherer ROI - Datengetriebene Entscheidungen über mehrere Kanäle hinweg führen häufig auch zu einer Steigerung der Effizienz von Online Marketing Maßnahmen und somit zu einem höheren Gewinn. Auswahl geeigneter Kanäle Welchen Kanal wir für die Diversifizierung in Betracht ziehen sollten, hängt meist davon ab, welches Ziel wir damit erreichen wollen. Wo sehen wir die größten Potenziale , die beste Chance uns als Marke zu positionieren oder vielleicht auch sogenannte “low hanging fruits”? Gibt es Kanäle, auf denen bisher noch kaum Mitbewerber unterwegs sind? Eine Möglichkeit, die geeignetsten Kanäle auszuwählen, ist sich am klassichen Marketingfunnel zu orientieren - abhängig davon in welchem Schritt die Zielgruppe sich befindet und welche Conversion-Aktionen wir besonders bewerben wollen. Es ist ebenfalls ratsam, regelmäßig zu überprüfen, ob die aktuelle Zielgruppendefinition noch akurat ist oder angepasst werden muss. Denn Anforderungen, Bedürfnisse und Suchverhalten können sich im Laufe der Zeit ändern . So können wir einen potenziellen Wandel in der Zielgruppe beobachten und entsprechend reagieren. In manchen Fällen unterscheidet sich die im Vorfeld definierte Zielgruppe auch von der tatsächlichen, die wir erreichen und die bei uns konvertiert. Wie dabei der optimale Kunde aussieht, ergibt sich aus verschiedenen Faktoren, wie beispielsweise: Demografischen Daten (Alter, Geschlecht, Standort, Familienstatus …) Interessen Kaufverhalten/Kaufkraft Lifestyle … Hier gilt es, weitere Potenziale zu entdecken und bestehende zu erweitern. Möglicherweise gibt es auch Nischenzielgruppen , die für uns eine hohe Relevanz haben. Der Vorteil dabei: In der Regel ist die Konkurrenz niedriger, was zu geringeren Kosten bei der Neukundenakquise führen kann. Identifizieren wir die Pain Points der Zielgruppen, können wir auch das Messaging der Kampagnen und Creatives genau daran anpassen . Das sorgt mitunter für mehr Relevanz, höhere Interaktion und im Bestfall für einen besseren ROI. An Regeln halten Wie wir also feststellen, ist die Kanal-Diversifizierung enorm wichtig im Marketing. Allerdings sollten wir dabei zwei Regeln beachten: Eine Diversifizierung der Kanäle sollte immer wohlüberlegt sein, und nicht nur um der Sache Willen geschehen . Wer sofort auf mehrere verschiedene Plattformen expandiert, läuft Gefahr, überfordert zu sein und den Nuancen der jeweiligen Kanäle nicht gerecht zu werden. Das wiederum kann schnell zu unerwünschten Ergebnissen führen, wodurch die Kanäle im Zweifel wieder abgeschaltet werden, ohne ihr volles Potenzial ausgeschöpft zu haben. Ebenso ist es wichtig, dem Kanal ausreichend Zeit einzuräumen . In den seltensten Fällen gelingt direkt der erste Wurf, und Anpassungen und Optimierungen entlang des Weges sind unabdinglich. Erst wenn wir mehrere Optimierungszyklen durchlaufen und ausreichend Daten gesammelt haben, können wir die Performance des Kanals fair bewerten und so sinnvolle Entscheidungen treffen. Selbstverständlich erfordert auch eine Kanal-Diversifizierung ein gewisses Investment. Wie oben bereits erwähnt hängt es von vielen Faktoren ab, wie viele und welche Kanäle für eine Diversifizierung in Frage kommen. Zusätzlich unterscheiden sich diese auch ganz individuell von Unternehmen zu Unternehmen und sollten deshalb im Vorfeld gut geprüft und überlegt werden. Gehen wir die Sache allerdings richtig an, kann sich das in vielen Fällen mehr als auszahlen. Vielen Dank für deine Aufmerksamkeit! Hoffentlich war es aufschlussreich, und du konntest etwas davon für dich mitnehmen! Im dritten Teil unserer Miniserie beschäftigen wir uns näher mit dem Thema Contextual Advertising .

Automation im Marketing: Auf Ziele optimieren

Beitragsbanner zum Thema Automation im Marketing.

Ende 2024 nutzte im Schnitt schon jedes fünfte Unternehmen regelmäßig künstliche Intelligenz (KI) . Bei Großunternehmen mit mehr als 250 Beschäftigten waren es sogar 48%. KI und weitere Automatismen (wie beispielsweise Machine Learning ) betreffen so gut wie alle Aspekte des Alltags, und machen auch vor dem Online Marketing nicht Halt. Dabei greifen sie gerne mal stark in den Berufsalltag ein, und lassen den einen oder anderen Marketeer daran zweifeln, ob der eigene Beruf überhaupt noch Zukunft hat, oder bald komplett durch KI ersetzt wird. Aber ist diese Befürchtung überhaupt gerechtfertigt? Oder gibt es vielleicht doch Möglichkeiten, wie man auch in Zeiten der Automation noch aktiv in seine Marketingstrategie eingreifen kann? Wie das geht, zeigen wir dir in unserer Blog-Serie “5 Tipps, wie die eigene Online Marketing Strategie auch in Zeiten der Automation noch relevant bleibt” . Wo Automation im Online Marketing schon Verwendung findet Von allen Branchen ist Marketing weltweit wahrscheinlich einer der größten Vorreiter in Bezug auf die Nutzung von KI und Automation im Berufsalltag. Laut einer Studie von Hubspot aus dem Jahr 2024 gaben 74% der Marketer an , in ihrem Beruf schon aktiv KI in irgendeiner Form zu verwenden. 2023 lag diese Zahl noch bei 21%. Das ist ein Anstieg von ~250% im Vergleich zum Vorjahr und zeigt, wie sehr KI speziell das Online Marketing prägt. Dabei reicht die Nutzung von Datenanalysen über Recherchearbeiten bis hin zu Content Creation, wie etwa der Erstellung von Bildern oder Texten für Blogeinträge (dieser hier ist aber zu 100% aus Menschenhand, großes AndroidenPfadfinderehrenwort). Doch auch in Tools, die Marketer in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten verwendet haben, finden immer mehr KI-Features Einzug . Das geht so weit, dass beispielsweise in Google Ads oder Meta Ads schon ganze Kampagnentypen fast vollständig mit Automatisierung laufen. Laut Google, Meta und weiteren Werbeplattformen. sollen diese Kampagnentypen (Performance Max, Advantage+, Accelerate Campaigns, etc.) dabei helfen, schneller, einfacher und mit weniger Aufwand Accounts zu skalieren, durch die Power von KI günstiger relevanten Traffic zu generieren und bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen, indem sie Vorarbeiten und Setup-Aufwände teils drastisch reduzieren, weniger operative Pflege benötigen und insgesamt eine personalisiertere Ansprache ermöglichen. Dass dies nicht immer der Realität entspricht, ist mittlerweile hinreichend bekannt und zeigt sich vor allem dann, wenn die Performance der Kampagnen plötzlich schwächelt. In solchen Situationen offenbaren sich die “Schattenseiten” der Automatisierung , denn mehr Automation bedeutet gleichzeitig auch mehr Blackbox weniger Einstellungsmöglichkeiten, sowie eine Abkehr von den “klassischen” Optimierungsmaßnahmen. Was also tun, wenn unsere Kampagnen unter den Erwartungen bleiben, und wir die begrenzten Möglichkeiten der Tools selbst schon ausgeschöft haben? Ganz einfach, es müssen weitere Optimierungsmaßnahmen her! In unserer Blog-Serie zeigen wir dir 5 Tipps, wie die eigene Online Marketing Strategie auch in Zeiten der Automation noch relevant bleibt . #1 Auf Business-Ziele optimieren Wann hast du eigentlich das letzte Mal deine Business-Ziele definiert und/oder angepasst ? Wenn du jetzt länger darüber nachdenken musst, wird es vermutlich mal wieder dringend Zeit. Denn diese können sich im Laufe der Zeit ändern, bedingt durch Veränderungen im eigenen Unternehmen, oder anderen, externen Faktoren, wie etwa eine sich ändernde Wirtschaftslage, höherer Konkurrenzdruck oder andere unvorhersehbare Gegebenheiten. Doch wie wählt man eigentlich die richtigen Geschäftsziele aus? Für die Definition der eigenen Geschäftsziele gibt es unterschiedliche Ansätze. Besonders verbreitet und populär ist die Verwendung von sogenannten SMART-Goals . Das Akronym steht hierbei für S pecific M easurable A chievable R elevant T ime-bound. Kurz zusammengefasst bedeutet das, wir sollten uns überlegen, welche Ziele wir genau erreichen wollen und wie wir den (Miss-)Erfolg messen können. Die Ziele sollten immer realistisch und damit erreichbar sein und eine hohe Relevanz für uns haben. Zum Abschluss sollte es eine Deadline geben, bis zu der die Ziele erreicht werden sollen, sowie im Optimalfall auch Kontrollpunkte dazwischen, um den Fortschritt zu überprüfen und bei Bedarf weitere Maßnahmen einzuleiten. Dabei ist die Wahl der richtigen Conversions gar nicht so einfach, denn nicht jede mögliche Aktion auf der Webseite ist für uns von gleichwertiger Bedeutung. Die folgenden vier Fragen können dabei helfen, die relevantesten Conversions zu identifizieren. Welche Conversions sollen ausgelöst werden? Zunächst stellt sich die Frage, welche Aktion(en) die optimalen Nutzer*innen auslösen sollen. Je nach Marketing-Strategie kann das beispielsweise der Download eines PDFs, eine Kontaktanfrage oder auch der klassische Kauf sein . Möglicherweise haben wir auch schon einen eigenen Funnel, der bei der Weiterqualifizierung hilft. Lassen sich Conversionwerte beziffern? Der einfachste Fall ist hier mit Sicherheit der Kauf, da sich dort der Wert logischerweise aus dem verkaufen Produkt errechnet. Was aber, wenn wir eine Dienstleistung anbieten, die nicht pauschal auf einen Wert festzulegen ist? In diesem Fall können wir versuchen, den Wert anderweitig zu ermitteln. Die Intention der Vergabe von Werten für Conversions begründet sich darin, dass es damit zum einen leichter fällt, einen ROI zu berechnen, und zum anderen den Werbeplattformen spezifische Signale zur Bedeutung der Conversions gibt, auf die dann etwaige Gebotsstrategien (bspw. Ziel-ROAS) optimieren können. Gibt es Unterschiede bei Upselling / CLTV? Haben wir Produkte, die häufig in Kombination mit anderen Produkten gekauft werden, bietet sich hier die Möglichkeit, per Cross-/Upselling den durchschnittlichen Conversion-Wert zu erhöhen. Deshalb kann es auch von Vorteil sein, solche Produkte oder Dienstleistungen besonders stark zu bewerben, selbst wenn der initiale Wert niedriger ist als bei anderen. Produkte, die in der Regel wiederholt gekauft werden oder zu weiterführenden Käufen führen, erhöhen zusätzlich den Customer Lifetime Value (CLTV) . Gibt es Einstiegshürden / typische Probleme? Möglicherweise ist für viele Nutzer das Produkt zu teuer, oder sie finden nicht auf Anhieb was sie suchen. Vielleicht wissen sie auch noch nicht, dass wir Lösungen anbieten, die genau bei ihren Problemen helfen. Letzteres beobachten wir besonders häufig im B2B. Diese Faktoren könnten auch dafür sorgen, dass bestimmte Conversions seltener oder im Extremfall gar nicht ausgelöst werden, weil die initiale Hürde zu groß ist . Hier kann es von Vorteil sein, sich vorerst auf Produkte und Dienstleistungen zu fokussieren, die weniger erklärungsbedürftig, oder in der Preiskategorie etwas tiefer angesiedelt sind, um dann im Anschluss diese Personen weiterzuqualifizieren. Besonders im Ecommerce kann es sich besonders lohnen, in Google Ads & Co nicht nur auf einen reinen ROAS zu optimieren, sondern auch den Gewinn miteinzubeziehen , denn ROAS ist nicht gleich Gewinn! Von Haus aus können die Tools auch mithilfe von Automation keine Margen bei der Optimierung berücksichtigen, dazu fehlen den Maschinen schlicht und ergreifend die nötigen Informationen. Spielen wir diese Daten aber zusätzlich zurück, können wir dem Algorithmus einen Schubs in die richtige Richtung geben und so insgesamt die Performance steigern. Zwar kann der ROAS in den Konten dadurch sinken, solange sich aber der Gewinn erhöht, laufen die Kampagnen optimierter ausgerichtet auf unsere Business-Ziele . Zusätzlich sollten wir in regelmäßigen Abständen einen Abgleich zwischen den bestverkaufenden Produkten im Backend und denen in Google Ads, Meta, und dergleichen machen. Hier kann es nämlich zu signifikanten Unterschieden kommen, was uns die Möglichkeit gibt, bestimmte Produkte auf verschiedenen Kanälen unterschiedlich stark zu bewerben . Letztlich stellt sich auch immer die Frage: Sollen verstärkt Neukunden angesprochen werden, oder setzen wir vermehrt auf die Reaktivierung von Bestandskunden ? Beide Ziele sind valide, bringen aber unterschiedliche Vorgehensweisen bei der Bewerbung mit sich. Die Neukundenakquise kann bis zu 5x teurer sein , als Bestandskunden zu einem erneuten Kauf anzuregen. Dafür können wir so aber auch unser Kundenportfolio deutlich einfacher erweitern . Müssen wir mit einem stark limitierten Budget agieren, könnten wir aber auch gut beraten sein, hauptsächlich auf (dynamisches) Remarketing zu setzen, um so potenziell kostengünstiger Umsatz zu generieren. Berücksichtigen wir alle diese Punkte, fällt es uns anschließend deutlich einfacher, die richtigen Unternehmensziele zu identifizieren , uns darauf zu fokussieren und diese auch nachhaltig voranzutreiben. Und davon profitiert dann letztendlich auch das ganze Unternehmen. Vielen Dank für deine Aufmerksamkeit! Hoffentlich war es aufschlussreich, und du konntest etwas davon für dich mitnehmen! Im zweiten Teil unserer Miniserie beschäftigen wir uns näher mit dem Thema Kanal-Diversifizierung . Haben wir etwas Wichtiges vergessen, oder hast du noch Fragen zum Thema?

Die Landschaft des digitalen Marketings hat sich in den letzten Jahren rasant entwickelt. Mit schnellen Fortschritten in der Datenerhebung, -analyse und Zielgruppenansprache stehen Marketer*innen vor einer wachsenden Nachfrage nach intelligenten, personalisierten Strategien. Die Datenmenge nimmt stetig zu, und die Notwendigkeit für schnelle, präzise Entscheidungen war noch nie so groß. Hier kommt Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ins Spiel – ein revolutionäres Werkzeug, das Effizienz, Genauigkeit und Kampagnenleistung erheblich steigert. Wir zeigen euch, wie wir KI nutzen, um unsere Arbeitsabläufe zu optimieren, Kunden- und Kundinnen-Insights zu verbessern und bessere Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Die Rolle von KI im Performance Marketing KI spielt im Marketing mehrere Rollen – von der Datenanalyse und Erkennung von Kundenmustern bis hin zur Automatisierung von Prozessen und KI-gestützte Kampagnen. Durch die Integration von KI-basierten Tools erreichen wir: Schnellere und präzisere Datenanalyse Optimiertes und automatisiertes Kampagnenmanagement Verbesserte Zielgruppensegmentierung und Personalisierung Genaue Vorhersagen durch KI-gestützte Kampagnen Diese Vorteile führen zu mehr Effizienz, besseren Entscheidungen und letztendlich zu höheren Marketing Renditen. Verantwortungsvolle Anwendungsmöglichkeiten KI Bevor wir uns konkreten Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von KI widmen, sind zwei Grundprinzipien zu beachten: Datenschutz & Sicherheit – Wir geben keine Kund:innendaten an KI-Tools weiter, um die Einhaltung von Datenschutzbestimmungen zu gewährleisten. Qualitätskontrolle – KI kann qualitativ hochwertige Ergebnisse liefern, aber wir überprüfen und optimieren diese stets, um Fehler und Unstimmigkeiten zu vermeiden. Nun sehen wir uns die praktischen Einsatzgebiete von KI im Performance Marketing an. 1. KI-gestützte Marktforschung Ein tiefgehendes Verständnis des Marktes ist entscheidend für eine erfolgreiche Kampagnenplanung. Bei neuen Kund:innen oder Projekten starten wir mit einer umfassenden Marktforschung. Neben klassischen Kund*innenbriefings, die Informationen über das Unternehmen, Produkte, den Markt und Mitbewerber*innen enthalten, nutzen wir KI-gestützte Tools wie ChatGPT und Gemini, um eine zusätzliche Marktanalyse zu erstellen. Dies hilft uns: Potenzielle Lücken in der Erforschung zu identifizieren Neue Perspektiven auf das Kundenverhalten zu gewinnen Datengetriebene Annahmen zu validieren Ein Beispiel: Wir geben die URL einer Kund*innenwebsite ein und lassen KI eine Zusammenfassung des Unternehmens, der Wettbewerber:innen und der Markttrends erstellen. Dieses Ergebnis wird mit unseren internen Analysen abgeglichen, um seine Genauigkeit zu gewährleisten. 2. Entwicklung von Marketingstrategien KI verbessert maßgeblich die Entwicklung und Verfeinerung von Marketingstrategien. Wir nutzen KI insbesondere für: Detaillierte Zielgruppenanalyse & Segmentierung – KI hilft uns, Zielgruppen basierend auf Interessen, Verhalten und demografischen Merkmalen zu gruppieren, um gezieltere Kampagnen zu gestalten. Persona-Entwicklung – Durch KI-gestützte Analysen können wir detaillierte Kundenprofile erstellen und Marketingbotschaften personalisieren. Predictive Marketing & Analytics – KI-Modelle analysieren historische Daten, um zukünftige Entwicklungen vorherzusagen, sodass wir Strategien proaktiv anpassen können. Wir arbeiten aktuell an der internen Entwicklung eines KITools für Unternehmen, das Daten aus Google Ads, META und GA4 integriert, um Conversion-Raten vorherzusagen und Budgets optimal zu verteilen. 3. Content-Erstellung Content ist das Herzstück jeder Marketingkampagne, und KI erleichtert kreative Prozesse erheblich. Keyword-Recherche & Anzeigentexte KI-basierte Tools wie ChatGPT und Copy.ai helfen uns, relevante Keywords für die Kampagnen zu generieren. Diese Tools unterstützen uns beim Verfassen von Anzeigen, sodass sie den Best Practices entsprechen und die Markenstimme beibehalten wird. Erstellung kreativer Inhalte KI-gestützte Design-Tools wie Canva AI und Adcreative.ai ermöglichen die schnelle Erstellung von Bannern und Visuals. Einige Werbeplattformen, darunter Google Ads und META, integrieren bereits KI-generierte kreative Elemente direkt in ihre Kampagnentools. Obwohl KI die Content-Erstellung beschleunigt, überprüfen und optimieren wir stets alle Inhalte, um Konsistenz und Qualität sicherzustellen. 4. Kampagnenoptimierung & -management Über Strategie und Content hinaus spielt KI eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Optimierung laufender Kampagnen. Wir haben KI-gestützte Skripte und Tools entwickelt, um: Automatische Budgetanpassungen vorzunehmen – Ein von uns entwickeltes Skript hilft, Budgets dynamisch basierend auf der Performance zu verteilen. Zum Beispiel: Brand-Kampagnen mit einer CTR oder Conversion-Rate über 10 % erhalten 20 % des neuen Budgets. Erfolgreiche Non-Brand-Kampagnen erhalten 60 % des Budgets. Schwächer performende Kampagnen erhalten die verbleibenden 20 %. Performance-Prognosen zu erstellen – KI-gestützte Vorhersagemodelle helfen uns, zukünftige Trends zu erkennen. Durch die Analyse historischer Daten können wir abschätzen, wie Kampagnen in den nächsten 60 Tagen abschneiden werden. Diese KI-basierten Tools ermöglichen eine schnellere und genauere Kampagnenoptimierung als herkömmliche manuelle Methoden. Fazit: KI revolutioniert weiterhin das digitale Marketing und hilft Unternehmen, mit der steigenden Komplexität datengetriebener Kampagnen Schritt zu halten. Trotz aller Vorteile müssen Datenschutz und die Qualität der generierten Inhalte stets gewährleistet sein. Durch die Integration von KI in Marktforschung, Strategieentwicklung, Content-Erstellung und Kampagnenmanagement steigern wir unsere Effizienz und erzielen bessere Ergebnisse. Doch KI ersetzt keine menschliche Expertise – sie ergänzt sie, indem sie uns intelligenter arbeiten lässt. Interessiert an den Möglichkeiten von KI für Ihr Unternehmen?

Optimize PDF SEO the Right Way!

SEO

Now that all necessary measures for search engine optimization (also: SEO ) have been taken and the website achieves top rankings? Even if the first steps are successfully mastered, the next step comes - SEO for PDFs! [object Object] The PDF file is notoriously not well-regarded in the SEO world, but sometimes it's unavoidable. This is partly due to the static format (HTML pages are not as easily downloadable) and partly due to the user experience: some people prefer to read certain content offline, and PDF files usually provide detailed information that isn't always suitable for HTML pages due to text length (extensive scrolling and unnecessary information can, in the worst case, lead to bounce rates). So PDFs have their own target audience that can and should be addressed. Therefore, optimizing PDFs for search engines is worthwhile, even if it brings some challenges. Back to the roots: History and relevance of PDFs Regular users of Google search know that organic search results can include not only websites but also PDF documents. In fact, PDF files have been in the Google index since the year 2000: PDF file in Google search - https://www.internetwarriors.de/ The PDF format (Portable Document Format) has existed since the early '90s - developed by Adobe Inc. - and can contain both text and images, forms, links, etc. Today it stands for the open standard (ISO) and is very popular for its accessibility. [object Object] The inclusion by search engines allowed users a broader access to information. This added value resulted in the discussed indexing of static PDF files. This was the starting shot for another discipline of search engine optimization: SEO PDF. [object Object] Though PDF files differ from 'classic' web formats, they offer numerous advantages for SEO. This isn't just about the profit for users, but also about keywords (PDFs can be excellently optimized for keywords), backlinks (PDFs as a source for backlinks), and enduring content. Therefore, when well-integrated into the SEO strategy, PDFs can provide significant added value. Search engine optimization for PDFs: Doing it right! To understand how to optimize PDF documents, two main questions arise: How does Google rank PDF files? What decides their position compared to websites? And ultimately - what differentiates PDFs from classic websites? Two points stand out: PDFs are generally longer Users tend to link less to PDF documents Google itself also says that determining relevance is difficult because it depends on personal preference whether a user prefers to read a PDF or a website. Different search engines handle this differently and so only some helpful hints can be provided here. Find out what these are! But first, a golden rule: Google, as a text-based search engine, needs real text to optimally read and evaluate a document. PDFs often consist of images, especially if they are scanned book pages, etc. With the help of OCR software (Optical Character Recognition - a technology many are familiar with from scanners), Google might be able to better read images containing text in the future, but until then, pure text documents are the better choice. This is where SEO optimization for PDFs begins: Formatting, adjusting, and reformatting As mentioned, PDF SEO optimization starts with the correct file format. It's simple to check if it’s correct: if text from a PDF document can be copied and pasted into, e.g., a Word file, it is real text. Even if tables are present in a file, they should be text-based. Selectable text isn’t the only requirement for the correct format. Besides the text content, other aspects need to be considered, such as file size. Following the principle “as small as possible” practically ensures you can’t go wrong in this regard. Generally, file size reflects loading speed and download duration. A size under 1 MB is generally considered user-friendly, but some PDFs require more, justified by the amount of content. Additionally, a range between 1 and 5 MB can be seen as optimal, with anything over 1 MB aimed at large files and documents. It’s important to consider image compression to prevent unnecessarily increasing the file size. Always ask whether the file size suits its purpose and prioritize user experience. [object Object] Don’t overlook the write protection of PDFs - it’s crucial to prevent changes and modifications to the original files. Despite crawlers accessing write-protected PDFs, indexing them is usually pointless. It’s recommended to set such PDFs to noindex.  [object Object] In summary: Correct formatting is the first step in PDF SEO optimization. It also ensures readability and accessibility, essential for a positive user experience. Content determines success “Content is King” seems to be one of the most well-known and current quotes, even though it originates from a 1996 essay by Bill Gates. The saying has become somewhat of a cliché and has its place in the online marketing world. It’s also a rule in search engine optimization when it comes to content creation. PDFs are no exception. [object Object] The rule always applies - it’s all about the users. Thus, the PDF should provide added value if a good ranking is to be achieved. It needs not only SEO optimization but also informative, relevant, and useful content for the user. Added value, quality, and credibility are crucial for E-E-A-T optimization , making it essential to create high-quality content. [object Object] Content optimization for PDFs follows the same rules as for 'normal' HTML pages - one of the most important: it must be unique. This means: PDFs should provide additional information to the HTML content, may complement them, but must not be identical. This leads to the issue of duplicate content. If there’s a good reason to duplicate content, a Canonical Tag must not be forgotten. [object Object] In terms of keyword optimization, there are almost no differences: PDFs should and must be keyword optimized because search engines find and index PDFs through relevant keywords. Care should be taken to integrate keywords as naturally as possible into the content, and they should also appear in headings, title tags, meta descriptions, and file names. PDF Mastery: Onpage optimization for maximum success An onpage optimization is also required for PDF SEO. Essentially, it is very similar to onpage optimization of HTML pages. When done correctly, discoverability, user experience, and accessibility can benefit. [object Object] The first concern should be the file name : it should be as descriptive and simple as possible. Integrating a meaningful keyword into the file name is a helpful step, as it facilitates indexing by search engines. However, avoid using special characters and prefer hyphens - this measure is partly for better compatibility (for various software and operating systems), URL friendliness, and error avoidance (special characters have specific meanings in the file system). [object Object] Next, the title , part of the metadata, should be optimized. Common SEO rules apply here - length (max. 60 characters), unique design, relevant keywords, and brand at the end of the title. The title is directly stored in the PDF file and is an essential part of PDF SEO. It's possible to save the file name as the title simultaneously, which is also a permissible implementation. This must now be noted in the settings (Adobe Acrobat) accordingly. [object Object] Contrasting with the title, the meta description or description is not quite identical to what is known from SEO optimization. For PDFs, metadata includes title, author, keywords, and content summaries. Additionally, further information can be added via additional metadata. Except for keywords, which no longer have ranking relevance, all fields must be filled out. Even with different handling of PDF files, it is advisable to still consider the description's length (max. 160 characters) and add a usual call-to-action. Traditionally, headings play a very special role in SEO: …they structure content for users and search engines …provide an excellent opportunity to integrate keywords for better ranking …improve user experience …facilitate navigation, especially for users relying on screen readers …highlight content Moreover, headings are an important ranking factor. Therefore, it's crucial to equip not only websites but also PDFs with good headings. The same rules as for HTML pages should be followed - no unnecessary headings, keyword optimization, one H1 per page or document, and maintaining logical order. Inserting headings is very straightforward using Adobe Acrobat (or PDF-XChange Editor) or already in the Word file (with subsequent export of the document as PDF). [object Object] If content is considered a king in the SEO world, then internal linking is at least a hidden bridge to SEO success. Internal linking is also very relevant for PDFs, as it can increase the value of the PDF itself and its visibility. Internal linking can be well implemented through relevant keywords in the content. It is merely necessary to maintain thematic coherence and link to pages that fit the PDF's content. Moreover, anchor texts should not be overlooked, nor should the embedding in the sitemap. If backlinks from high-quality websites point to the document, there is an excellent chance to improve authority and visibility and thus work into the E-E-A-T concept. Furthermore, internal linking is almost indispensable if one wants to optimize PDFs for SEO. Tech-Tuning: Optimize your PDF! Once content, keywords, and onpage aspects for PDFs are optimized, the first half is done. The next and almost last step should be technical optimization. [object Object] Including it in the sitemap is essential for universal and/or current PDFs. However, one should start with the added value - does the PDF file offer it to the user? If this question can be positively answered and the criteria are met, then the sitemap is the right place for PDFs. The advantages are similar to HTML pages - direct indexing, better discoverability, improved performance, and proactive control of the indexing process. However, if certain files are to be excluded from indexing, this can also be done using the “noindex” tag. [object Object] The canonical tag should be correctly used and applied: Is the PDF content similar or even identical to the HTML page content? If so, the canonical tag is indispensable to avoid the issue of duplicate content. [object Object] The SEO optimization of PDFs also requires mobile optimization - correspondingly, aspects that characterize a mobile-friendly file should be considered - starting with file size (shouldn't be too large) to correct formatting (e.g., portrait orientation, left-aligned text, use of sections & headings, good structuring, etc.). If these points are observed, PDF search engine optimization is on the right track! PDF without barriers: Accessibility redefined! The topic of web accessibility has been discussed for a long time - and rightly so! Websites should be accessible to everyone, and from June 2025, this becomes mandatory. Hence, basic adaptations should be made in PDFs: All images/graphics should have alt texts Headings and tags must also be implemented Content must be text-based but also need appropriate contrast and readable typeface Lastly: Don’t forget necessary configurations for screen readers. [object Object] The good news is that all these measures can be directly implemented in PDF programs like Adobe Acrobat or the PDF-XChange Editor. Afterward, you can use the accessibility check (also available in the programs) to verify implementation. SEO PDF Accessibility PDF Tracking: Measuring with Precision Those wanting to measure performance should definitely consider tracking. This is also part of PDF SEO and can be used effectively. It provides a way to understand how users interact with the PDF document. There are many methods suitable for tracking PDF files - everyone can find what works best for them. However, the tracking concept should be approached with caution, always weighing its necessity. SEO Optimization for PDFs: Strategies for Success Even if PDF SEO is considered complex, it’s worth optimizing such files correctly. It should not be underestimated that PDFs can be SEO-relevant for several reasons: Indexing of content (text-based) Additional opportunity for keyword optimization Positive user experience Distribution of link equity Sustainable content PDFs are thus a valuable addition to the website, offering content expansion, targeting specific audiences, and appropriately optimized can increase visibility. If you follow the rules and properly implement search engine optimization for PDFs and fundamentally include the use of PDF files in the SEO strategy, you can only benefit from the expanded content format!

Google Ads offers a variety of standard reports that provide valuable insights into campaign performance. However, these reports often reach their limits when it comes to analyzing specific data points or creating individual evaluations. This is where custom columns come into play. With custom columns, you can tailor Google Ads data to your needs, gathering the information most relevant to you. In this blog article, we explore how custom columns work and introduce you to important formulas you can implement directly in your account. What are custom columns? Custom columns in Google Ads are specially tailored data fields that you can define yourself. Unlike the predefined columns available by default in Google Ads, custom columns offer the flexibility to create your own metrics and perform complex calculations. This feature is especially useful for gaining detailed insights into your campaign performance and tracking specific metrics. Benefits of using custom columns Using custom columns in Google Ads offers numerous benefits: 1. Personalization of data analysis: You can create metrics that are precisely tailored to your business goals. For instance, you can calculate ROI, Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), or other business-specific KPIs. 2. Increased efficiency: Custom columns in Google Ads allow you to perform complex data calculations directly in the Google Ads interface, reducing the need for external spreadsheets and speeding up the analysis process. 3. Improved decision-making: With tailored metrics, you can make more informed decisions, gaining specific insights into your campaign performance that would otherwise be hidden. 4. Better reporting: Custom columns facilitate the creation of detailed reports that provide your stakeholders with exactly the information they need. Creation and implementation of custom columns Creating custom columns in Google Ads is a relatively simple process. Here are the basic steps: [object Object] Log into your Google Ads account and go to the campaign area. On the right side, you will find the "Columns" menu item. Figure 1: Step 1 Select Columns   Click "Custom," but you can also get there via "Customize Columns." In the next step, you will reach the overview page and open "Custom Columns." Figure 2: Step 2 Customize Columns for Campaigns   From here, you can create the corresponding columns. Figure 3: Step 3 Create Columns   Give the column a name and description. Choose the desired metric and calculation formula. Formulas and calculations: You can use simple calculations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to create your custom metric. Once you've created the custom column, you can add it to your reports and dashboards. This allows you to monitor and analyze your campaigns' performance using the new metrics. Important custom columns for Google Ads To help you get started, we've compiled some useful custom columns that you can create directly in your Google Ads account: 1. Expected costs for the current month: This column shows you the monthly budget you should expect if you don't change existing settings or budgets. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! 2. Cost-per-conversion by conversion action: This column shows the average cost per conversion for various conversion actions (e.g., purchase, newsletter signup). This helps you better understand the profitability of your conversion actions. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! Here is an excerpt of conversions we have set up in our account: Figure 4: Overview of created conversions   These are also associated with the respective CPA per conversion. The above data provides extremely useful insights into each conversion phase. Different views can also be examined to see which search terms, keywords, and ads perform accordingly, allowing you to find out very specifically where you need to optimize, cut, or increase your budget. 3. CPA in the last 7 days: This column shows the average CPA in the last 7 days. This allows you to compare the development of the CPA over the last 30 days and the last week at a glance. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! 4. ROAS in the last 7 days: This column shows the average ROAS in the last 7 days. This allows you to compare the development of the ROAS over the last 30 days and the last week at a glance. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! 5. Budget utilization: The "Budget Utilization" column shows the percentage of the set daily budget that the campaign spent on average per day in the last 7 days. It is important to note that if the daily budget is increased or decreased, the column will change accordingly. This means it is only meaningful if the budget is not adjusted. Formula: REPLACE MANUALLY!!! Conclusion Custom columns in Google Ads are a powerful tool for tailoring Google Ads data to individual needs. By creating your own columns, you gain deeper insights into your campaign performance and make informed decisions to optimize results. We are happy to help you identify and create the right custom columns in your Google Ads account. Simply contact us via the contact form and secure your non-binding offer!

Local SEO – How to Improve Your Local Visibility

SEO

The SEO world is famously very diverse - content SEO, E-commerce SEO, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, technical SEO, and local SEO. Many of these intertwine and are difficult to separate. Although each type of SEO has its own peculiarities and nuances, there is also a common foundation that is the same across different types of SEO. [object Object] One of the most current SEO topics is local SEO. What is local SEO and where does it come from? The origins of this field date back to 2005. With the launch of Google Maps, the local aspect suddenly became very relevant. Since then, it has been gaining more and more importance. While traditional search engine optimization focuses on being easily found on Google, local search engine optimization aims to be found when users are searching for a result in their immediate area. [object Object] It is implemented in different forms - from the Google Business Profile to local keywords. But what does it include and how is it optimized? It's not enough to just specify the city Local business SEO is not just about keywords or the city name in the title tag. It's much more about strategy, planning, and execution. The goal of local SEO is to optimize local visibility, such as how the service or product is presented and its visibility with a local context. The search results are displayed based on the users' location. The increasing relevance of local SEO is due to the fact that nowadays, many people (if not most) are mobile. This means that, for instance, when looking for a restaurant or a good online marketing agency, local SEO is the way to go: Fig.1: Local Search - 360 Online Marketing Agency For companies, local SEO is not only a cost-effective strategy but also a way to stand out from the competition. With a well-crafted profile, specific and locally tailored content, as well as feedback and reviews, your visibility will shine in new colors. As a small bonus - it helps you gain and strengthen your customers' trust! [object Object] Overall, local SEO is your excellent chance to position yourself locally and gain market presence! Opportunities and limits of Local SEO Of course, you must always weigh the pros and cons. SEO for local businesses has a different tone and, while it offers many bonus points, it also presents its own challenges: The local aspect : The local aspect, which is the focus of local search engine optimization, can be both a curse and a blessing. Compared to classic SEO measures, the website is found in certain geographic regions with a local SEO strategy, making it difficult to rank for general queries. If the company's main target is at the local level, this is definitely an advantage. However, if you want to be visible beyond one city, you should consider combined SEO strategies and not rely solely on local SEO. Continuous change in algorithms : One should always remember that search engine algorithms change very quickly, so it's important to keep adapting local SEO strategies. Competition : Especially in certain local industries, competition can be very strong, which brings certain challenges. Time investment : The time investment is another factor because you can't do SEO halfheartedly. The effort in local SEO involves keeping all information up-to-date. In certain industries, the frequency can be relatively high, but the profiles should still be kept current and maintained. Reviews : Feedback, reviews, and testimonials strengthen customer trust, and that's true! But one must not forget that reviews are not always positive. A negative review can have serious consequences and requires immediate action. A thoughtful and constructive response to a negative comment can also create trust. If you're wondering if the effort is worth it, the answer is: Absolutely, because the benefits are huge. Targeted reach : With local SEO, you can specifically target users in your area searching for products or services, significantly increasing the likelihood of interaction. Visibility : A good placement in local search results will not only increase your visibility in the region but also encourage customer interactions, both online and offline. [object Object] Cost-effectiveness: Compared to many traditional marketing measures, local SEO is a cost-effective solution, mainly relying on organic traffic. However, if you do not have enough experience in the industry, working with a local SEO agency is a good decision to balance efficiency and costs. Mobile search : As mentioned before, mobile phones are the most commonly used search medium. Local SEO is ideal to reach users seeking local insights while on the go. Trust : A business can enhance its image in the community through positive customer reviews, building trust. Practical tips from professionals: How local SEO works! It's essential to evaluate and be clear on what marketing measure is right. Even if it seems like there's a formulaic approach in practice, it's not all that straightforward. If you're unsure whether local search engine optimization is right for you, answer this simple question: Does your business (store, restaurant, shop, etc.) have a fixed location? If you can answer this question with "Yes," then it's the right SEO strategy for you! Local SEO works when there is a location that can be visited. If your business is only online, it doesn't make sense. This is because most users will make very specific search queries with local references, such as "Pizza place Mitte" or "Beauty salon Schöneberg Berlin." Geographical orientation is the starting point. Once the question of choosing the right SEO strategy is clarified, here are some fundamental tips to maximize local visibility: Google Business Profile Google has its own local SEO management. To be present there, you need to know the rules. The first one is: "Create a Google Business Profile." Formerly known as “Google My Business,” the Google Business Profile is of enormous importance for local optimization. From the provided information, Google can determine relevant insights like reviews, opening hours, photos for local rankings, and display these alongside local hits: Fig.2: Google Business Profile - internetwarriors GmbH Moreover, connections to Google Maps, Google Street View, and Google Local Pack (also known as Google 3-Pack) are only possible with the Google Business Profile. Another advantage of this platform is that it is developed directly by Google and thus also considered in organic search. This means you can appear in local Google search results, even if the content on your website hasn't been optimized. NAP NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone number and is another important component of local SEO. This information is essential for Google and should be consistent everywhere: On third-party platforms, on your own website, and within the Google Business Profile. The spelling should be uniform as well. Otherwise, it can lead to confusion, especially for users, but also for search engines, leading to negative ranking effects. On-page & Content Anyone familiar with on-page SEO will not find major differences in local on-page SEO. One should pay attention to the same components: keywords, title tags, meta descriptions, headings, etc. But since it's about the local context, this should also be mirrored everywhere. If the title tag says, for instance, "Delicious Italian Pizza," it's best to add the city or district, for example, "Delicious Italian Pizza from Berlin-Schöneberg." The same rules apply to meta descriptions and headings. With keywords, local relevance should also be considered. This applies to the content as well. Users should understand that it is a local provider. Of course, don't forget that the content must provide value and high quality. It’s much more about the substance than marking every sentence with a keyword of local relevance. Structured Data Let's not forget structured data. Even if users do not see it, structured data is visible to search engines. By marking all necessary data, you can also benefit. Search engines recognize such information (e.g., address, opening hours, etc.) and use it for display in search results. They also contribute to better local ranking. Moreover, using structured data provides the opportunity to display rich snippets. Mobile Optimization Though it seems evident, the relevance of mobile optimization should not be neglected. On one hand, local SEO is perfect for mobile search; on the other hand, it is generally important for ranking and visibility. Furthermore, some simple rules should be followed: The less, the better: Your website’s code should not be overloaded to achieve fast loading speeds. Your website's content should not be overloaded either. Users should not have to scroll excessively, whether on desktop or mobile, to reach the desired content. Responsive Design: This is by far the most important aspect. When designing the website, responsive design should always be implemented so the content adjusts dynamically to all mobile sizes. Business Directory Back in the day, people often looked up the Yellow Pages to find desired information and addresses. Today, everything is digitized, and numerous digital business directories exist. Utilizing this opportunity and registering your business there can yield additional benefits. Reviews and Testimonials Your local SEO checklist should not miss handling reviews & testimonials! The reviews and testimonials left by customers can lift or lower the business. Negative reviews undermine trust. But you should respond to such reviews and make a statement. Therefore: Don't leave reviews unanswered and never delete negative reviews! It's important to handle criticism and not panic. [object Object] Also, try encouraging customers to give feedback and leave reviews, as the more reviews there are, the stronger the profile. Regularity is also a positive signal for search engines. However, you should collect genuine reviews to gain trust from both users and search engines. Backlinks Working with backlinks is also part of local SEO. Therefore, after completing all mentioned measures, start building relevant backlinks from websites in the local environment. Attention should be paid to the importance of links. We always recommend generic, or free, backlinks collection, as it offers significant added value. Helpful steps include using PR measures or collaborating with other local businesses. Local SEO - Your To-Do List When opting for local search engine optimization, always keep a cool head. Proper implementation brings great added value! Local SEO increases visibility in local search results and is the first point of contact when looking for services or products nearby. Additionally, it generates targeted traffic and highlights local brand presence. In summary, these are the To-Do’s that must be checked off for effective local search engine optimization: Google My Business Profile Local keywords Structured data NAP On-page & content Possibly expand social media profiles Maintain reviews Mobile optimization Backlinks We are happy to help you implement your local SEO strategies!

Improve Internal Linking for SEO: A Guide to a Successful Strategy

In the world of search engine optimization, there are numerous strategies and techniques to enhance the visibility of a website. One often underestimated but highly effective method is optimizing internal linking. Internal linking in SEO serves to connect different pages within a website. This plays a crucial role not only in navigation and user-friendliness but also in distributing what is known as "Link Juice," which increases the authority and relevance of pages in the eyes of search engines. In this blog post, you'll learn how to improve your SEO strategy through thoughtful and targeted internal linking. Discover the best practices to satisfy both your users and search engines and ultimately improve your ranking. As a basis for the concept of your internal linking, you will learn in a step-by-step guide how to analyze the current state and identify potential areas of improvement. Definition and significance for SEO Basically, there are two types of hyperlinks: Internal links are connections that lead from your website to a subpage within your website. They help users navigate through your site and assist search engines in understanding the structure and hierarchy of your site. The advantage is that you have 100% control over them. External links , on the other hand, lead from a completely different domain to your website or vice versa. They can enhance credibility. However, you do not have full control over these and are dependent on other websites. This blog post will focus solely on internal linking. An important term in this context is "link juice." Link juice is the strength of a page. It consists of the quality and number of incoming links as well as their distribution across a website. As a result, the homepage has the most link juice and can pass it on through internal links. Links from pages considered more important transfer more link power than links from less important pages . A page is deemed important when many other important pages link to it. Link power is not distributed evenly. For example, if there are 100 internal links, they do not each receive 1/100 link power. Some links receive more, others less link power. The significance for SEO is diverse. Internal links enhance the user experience by helping visitors easily reach the desired information. For search engines, internal links are indicators of which pages on your website are most important. Pages that receive many internal links are considered particularly relevant and can rank higher in search results. Additionally, internal links make it easier for search engine crawlers to explore and index your site, thereby improving the discoverability and visibility of your content. Significance for Users The importance of internal links for SEO is diverse. They improve the user experience by helping visitors easily find the desired information. Within a text, for example, other products or services of the company are linked. This allows users to reach the page directly via the link without having to navigate to the site's menu. A well-thought-out internal linking strategy for SEO can help increase the user's time spent on your site. This can lead to better rankings in search results, as search engines consider user behavior in evaluating a site. Significance for Search Engines For search engines, internal links are an indicator of which pages on your site are most important. Pages with high link juice are considered particularly relevant and can rank higher in search results. Additionally, internal links make it easier for search engine crawlers to explore and index your site. This, in turn, improves the discoverability and visibility of your content. We occasionally hear the idea of marking links with nofollow to save link power. However, we advise against this. In such cases, the link is not followed, but it is still perceived as a link. During the calculation of link power, this link is considered in the total count. Concrete tips for optimizing internal linking We have concrete and practical tips on how you can optimize the internal linking on your website for more efficient SEO. From identifying particularly rewarding pages to choosing the right anchor texts to strategically placing links, these tips will help you fully exploit the potential of your internal linking and sustainably improve your SEO performance. 1. Use Screaming Frog to find pages that particularly benefit from additional internal links How can you find out which pages would benefit the most from additional internal links? This is where Screaming Frog comes into play. This powerful SEO tool allows you to specifically search for pages that are currently under-linked and therefore have great potential for additional internal links. Especially for pages that already have high traffic and are relatively poorly linked, there is a high probability that additional links will increase visibility and relevance in search results. First, create an API connection with Google Search Console : [object Object] 1. Configuration → API Access → Google Search Console [object Object] 2. Log in and select domain → OK Figure 1: Screaming Frog Guide: Set up API access Then start the crawl of the domain and limit the dataset to relevant data : [object Object] 1. Internal → HTML [object Object] 2. Select the following columns: Address, Meta Robots 1, Inlinks, Impressions [object Object] 3. Filter: Meta Robots 1 → does not contain → "noindex" Figure 2: Screaming Frog Dataset Once the crawl is complete, you should have a manageable number of pages. Now the ratio between inlinks and impressions is relevant. For optimization, especially those pages are interesting that have many impressions but few incoming links . For these pages, optimizing internal linking is a great way to capture the low-hanging fruits (threshold keywords). If the number of URLs is too overwhelming, you can save the data and create a chart using Excel. 2. Use internal links in the content of the page When using links in the text, the so-called anchor text (or also anchor text/link text) is particularly important. You shouldn't use phrases like "Click here" or "Learn more." Because not only should users learn from the anchor text what to expect on the linked page, but so should bots. Therefore, the linked text should as closely as possible match the keyword of the target page. However, we recommend not using the same anchor text (the keyword) 1:1 for every linking of a page, as that would seem unnatural. Ideally, use variations and synonyms, sometimes single words, phrases, or even entire sentences with keywords. It's also important to consider the position of the link. The highest importance lies in links within a text. The context signals to both users and bots the context in which the link is located. The further up on the page it is placed, the more important it appears. Of course, buttons can still be used, as they are user-friendly. Pay attention to a good link text here as well. Furthermore, images can also be linked. In this case, using the alt attribute and a good image title is particularly important. Specifically, the alt text visualizes for the bots what can be seen in the images and indicates what content the target page offers. 3. Use internal links in the navigation Navigation consists mainly of the menu and the footer . The navigation can be accessed from any page, and thus the links are visible on every page. Especially the most important pages should be linked in the menu, as they receive a lot of link power from this placement. The links in the footer should also not be forgotten. However, it is not meant to contain innumerable links. Linking pages from the menu a second time in the footer makes no sense. Moreover, the links pass less link juice because they are less likely to be clicked. Seasonal pages should be well-linked internally with some lead time. If a topic is relevant in 5-6 months, the target page can be linked in the footer. However, it should be linked more prominently 2-3 months beforehand, e.g., in the menu, on the homepage, and from relevant content to show search engines that it is currently a very important page. We also recommend integrating a breadcrumb for easy navigation. The links it contains show the hierarchical depth of the active page and offer the users the opportunity to reach the correct parent page with a few clicks. As a result, it is very user-friendly and increases the number of internal links in the domain. 4. Quality over Quantity There is no optimal amount of internal links on a website. More important is that the links are relevant and make sense . If you keep this principle in mind, you cannot have too many internal links on a page. You can ask yourself for each link: Could this page be interesting for users? If that is the case, it is a good and relevant link. If you want to create a concept for the internal linking of your website from scratch, you should consider the so-called siloing . This is the topic-relevant linking . According to this principle, online shop visitors on a product detail page for a soccer shoe should not see links to products from the "T-shirts" or "Pants" categories. These are likely not relevant in this case. Instead, it makes sense to offer a link to a soccer shoe from another brand, as the users are obviously interested in this product type. Therefore, internal linking should be limited to the category in which the users currently are and should only refer to the homepages of other categories. Figure 3: Siloing - topic-relevant linking Internal Linking & SEO: Conclusion from internetwarriors Optimizing internal linking is an important but often underestimated method for improving a website's SEO strategy. Through targeted internal linking, both the user-friendliness and the visibility and relevance of pages for search engines can be significantly improved. Well-thought-out internal linking supports navigation, efficiently distributes link juice, and helps search engines better understand the structure of the website. Practical tips such as the use of tools like Screaming Frog, the correct selection and placement of anchor texts, as well as high-quality and topic-relevant linking, are essential for success. Overall, optimized internal linking contributes to longer user dwell time and a better ranking in search results. We are happy to support you in developing an SEO strategy for internal linking.

Privacy Sandbox Stopped! The Future of Chrome Third-Party Cookies

Google plans to block third-party cookies in Chrome and replace them with cohort data. However, this faced difficulties. Even though the plans were abandoned, the fear of a comprehensive tracking blockade remains. In this blog post, you'll learn more about the latest developments in tracking and how our solution can help. Chrome relies on third-party cookies – What you need to know now In 2019, Google announced that with the introduction of the Google Privacy Sandbox, it would block all third-party cookies in its Chrome browser. These measures have already been implemented by the browsers Safari and Firefox. However, Google's approach encountered significant challenges, particularly regarding the use of cohort data provided by Google based on browsing history. Instead of traditional third-party cookies, the Privacy Sandbox is intended to provide information about user groups, known as cohorts or interest groups. These groups are based on browsing history and offer advertisers a new way to reach target audiences. The problem is that marketers rely on the data provided by Google, which could allow Google to gain a monopoly position. Additionally, the results of the Privacy Sandbox trial from the first quarter of 2024 did not yield the desired outcomes. These insufficient results ultimately led to Google abandoning its plans to block third-party cookies . This was confirmed in an official blog post by Anthony Chavez. Yet, the concern over a comprehensive blockade may not necessarily be over. With Google’s new proposal, users can make informed decisions about which data to permit for tracking. This might lead many users to opt for a full or heavily restricted tracking blockade. Therefore, it remains essential to keep your advertising tracking methods up to date to counteract the effects of potential tracking blockades. A proven technology in this area is server-side tracking. Our case studies and the experiences of numerous clients show that server-side tracking can increase the captured data volume by at least 12% . Do you have any further questions or comments?
