The post The Best Copper Belt for Back Pain – Back Pain Be Gone! appeared first on GQ Central.

It’s hard enough to pilot your business into Google’s local search results and pick up the right customers.  That’s even harder if your instruments point you in the wrong direction, or you look at them wrong, or you look at the wrong instruments.

In local SEO it’s easy to waste precious time and energy on goals that don’t matter, problems that don’t exist, or showy numbers that obscure important numbers.  The end result is you waste time and work less on what affects your business the most, and generally achieve the opposite of what you want.

I spend a lot of time with clients (long-term, audit, and consultation) homing in on one thing and tuning out another thing.  Below is a rundown of what I’ve found to be most common goofy and unimportant measurements of success or trouble in your local visibility effort.  I also explain the benchmarks I suggest paying attention to instead.

Goofy metric #1: total traffic to site.

That is, total traffic as measured by Google Analytics or whatever third-party tool you might use.  Doesn’t matter if we’re talking about unique + return visitors, or only uniques.  Two basic problems with this metric:

1. Total traffic doesn’t tell you how much of your traffic goes to pages that don’t help you get customers. Let’s say you have a blog post or page with legs – one that brought you 30% of your monthly traffic until now. It’s a good resource, but its visibility never seemed to correspond to an uptick in business.  It may be that your “money” pages – the kind that local customers find in the local results and act on – still do just fine.

2. Total traffic doesn’t tell you how visible your business is. It only tells you how many people trickle through Google and onto your site (or who go directly to your site, without ever hitting Google). Keep in mind Google’s ongoing effort to keep searchers on the search results and, by extension, away from your site.

So your traffic can appear totally normal (whatever “normal” is for your business) even though your search visibility has tanked, or your visibility can still be great even though your traffic looks like it’s shriveled.

Better metric: total # of impressions, according to Google Search Console.  For your whole site, for a specific page, for a specific query, etc.  The number of impressions will tell you how many people actually SEE a page (or a whole site) in the search results, whether or not they end up clicking.  (The fact that Search Console shows you impressions, whereas Google Analytics does not, is one big reason I tend to pay more attention to Search Console, especially for troubleshooting.)

Getting more people to click on low-click-through pages is a challenge you can work on.  The same is true if you see a page that’s getting fewer clicks AND fewer impressions: In that case you can easily figure out when that trend began, whether only that page is affected, and for which search terms it’s sagging (see the “Queries” tab).

You’ll probably want to zero in on your visibility (total impressions) for search terms you’re trying to rank for, rather than for brand-name search terms.  Impressions from people who search for your business by name don’t tell you much about your overall visibility in local search.  Brand-name visibility is kind of a given – a baseline.

Of course, it’s still smart to pay some attention to total traffic, because that can alert you to the more-specific problems you’ll want or need to identify.  Just don’t fixate on it, because it never tells the whole story or helps you figure out what to do about it.

Goofy metric #2: “average position” in Google Search Console and in certain rank-trackers.

The reason is simple: in Search Console the “average position” not localized.  So it might say a certain page on your site ranks #117 for “Pittsburgh plumber,” even though that page ranks #4 in the organic results that people in Pittsburgh see when they type in “plumber,” and maybe you also rank #2 there in the Google Maps 3-pack for the same term.  Search Console wouldn’t tell you those two facts, nor would many “local” rank-tracking tools (I’d rather not name names).

Again, that’s a problem just because your instruments would tell you you’ve got a problem when you may in fact be OK.  That could lead you (or an easily-frightened SEO person) to mess things up by changing stuff that not only doesn’t need changing, but that also helps you get whatever visibility you’ve got.

Better metric:  either impressions in Search Console (as I described a minute ago) or the rankings you see in the Anonymous Ad Preview & Diagnosis Tool, or both.  The latter is great because you can set a default search location and see exactly where Google sticks you.  The only problem is it only shows the first page of search results, so it won’t tell you whether you rank 49 or 50 for a certain term.  But it will show you where you show up in the 3-pack and when you’re anywhere on page 1, which typically are the factoids you really want to know.

Goofy metric #3: how many terms you’re #1 for.

As in #1 in the Google Maps 3-pack, or in the organic results, or either or both.  In at least one sense “#1” translates to less visibility than it used to, because of where Google Ads (and sometimes Local Services Ads) have been stuffed, and how those ads have increasingly pushed down.  The other issue is how we’re so used to seeing all kinds of crap rank #1.  We rely on Google more to tell us what our options are than what options are good.

Better metric: how many terms you rank for where you’re the obvious choice to click on.  When everything else is equal, of course it’s best you’re #1.  But if you’re #2 on the map, and you’ve got the most Google reviews, and you’ve got the highest average rating, and the #1 result is lame, then you’re still in the catbird seat.  Likewise if you’re #3 in the organic results but have the most-compelling title + description, or best business name, or maybe another organic result or some Google Maps rankings or a great PPC ad on the same page that act as your backup dancers.  You’ll get more business from being the best result on a page, rather than only the highest.

Goofy metric #4: number of links to your site.

You can go buy thousands of links right now and tell me how much it helps your rankings.  I expect you’ll find those don’t help much.  (Possibly a little bit, but then you risk an algorithmic or manual penalty sooner or later.)  You’ll still be outranked by the same annoying competitors, both in the 3-pack and in the organic results.  one less-risky way to see what I mean is to use your backlinks checker of choice (I like Ahrefs) to check on 6 local businesses that rank for a term you consider a priority: How many links the 3 highest-ranking businesses have, and how many links do the next 3 (#4-6) have?  Does each of the top 3 have more links than each of the next 3?  You’ll probably find that the link count varies – a lot.

Better metric:  the number of relevant links to your site, particularly to specific pages you consider high priorities.  When I a link is “relevant” I mean it’s from a site that is geared toward your industry, geared toward your city or region, or both.  In my experience the relevance of a link matters more than anything else.

Goofy metric #5: number of reviews.

What if you have the most reviews, but your average rating is 2.9 stars?  Or you have a good average rating, but the positive reviews are so terse they look forced or fake?  Or all the reviews are old?

Better metric: for how many local search terms is your business the obvious choice to click on, in terms of review count AND average rating? 

I’m talking about both the Google Maps / 3-pack results and the search results within review sites, like Yelp, Zillow, Houzz, HealthGrades, Avvo, TripAdvisor, etc.  In cases where it’s hard to say whether the average searcher would click on your pile of reviews or on a competitor’s pile of reviews, it’ll probably be clear to you whether you need to work on your average rating, or your review count, or on something else.

Goofy metric #6: number of 5-star reviews.

This is a red herring for many reasons, but for one reason above all: often the 5-star reviews aren’t impressive or persuasive.  Searchers click on the list of reviews and read some of them, and often the reviewers don’t go into much detail as to why they picked and liked a business.

Better metric: number of super-reviewers: people who reviewed you on multiple sites, people who wrote almost a sales-letter-length review and included pictures, people who got a spouse or family member or friend also to review you, people whose reviews you know for a fact drive business (because customers or even reviewers said so) , etc.  I realize that’s a squishy definition, so it’s up to you to define who constitutes an online “cheerleader.”  The point is you gain more by tracking and increasing the number of those people than by fixating on the number of 5-star reviews.

Goofy metric #7: Page speed according to Google PageSpeed Insights.

In general, a fast-loading site is great.  But obsessing over it is not, because the fastest site isn’t necessarily the most visible or most profitable one.  If page speed was a huge factor, you’d go whole-hog and just put some strategic words on a page and get mighty close to a 100/100.  Some companies with pretty good SEO teams seem to recognize that page-speed is one goal of many, to be balanced with other goals, and that you don’t need perfect marks.

Better metric: how many formidable competitors’ sites is your site faster than?  I’m talking about sites that outrank yours or that you know for a fact drive a lot of business, or both.  Try to make your site more informative, more persuasive, easier to use, and faster than those sites, even if you’re nowhere near a perfect 100.  If a bear is chasing you through the woods, you don’t need to outrun the bear – just the other campers.

By the way, here are a few too-commonly-heeded“metrics” I’d generally ignore:

• Domain Authority (Moz) or Domain Rating (Ahrefs) of your site
• Google My Business Insights’ “last 30 days” stats
• Moz Local “completeness” score
• Yoast “optimization” score

They have their place in the world, but they don’t tell you much about how your local SEO effort is going.

—

Can you think of other nutty local SEO metrics I didn’t mention?

Am I too harsh on a benchmark that you’ve found to be useful for diagnosis – and why is that?

What’s your single favorite (or least-favorite) indicator of triumph or trouble?

By September of 2019, nearly 60% of Australia’s population was on YouTube.

With internet and social media usage increasing in Australia, the percentage above is likely to grow.

Like people in many other countries, Australians embrace video when it comes to learning new things, entertaining themselves, or even researching new products. Now, with growing access to the web, mobile data, and all sorts of online video platforms, video is more readily at Australian fingertips than ever before.

At this point, if you’re a marketer for an Australian company or an international brand looking to gain awareness in the region, video content or video ads could be solid tactics for you.

But, if you’ve never made a commercial or marketing video for your brand before, you might ask yourself, “Where do I even start?”

One of the best ways to learn how to effectively sell your brand or product through video could be watching commercials from your region’s most successful brands.

By looking at some of the most iconic Australian commercials, you can learn about storytelling styles and other video marketing tactics that nurture national or global audiences from the TV or computer screen to stores.

And, even if you don’t have the same video budget as a big brand, you can still use their content to consider similar, but more scaleable video strategies.

To help Australian or international marketers in their quest to create compelling video marketing content, here are five great Australian commercials that you can use for inspiration.

5 Iconic Australian Commercials Marketers Can Learn From

“Big Ad” – Carlton Draught (2006)

Carlton Draught‘s biggest commercial, produced by Young & Rubicam — formerly George Patterson & Partners, places the viewer in the middle of a blockbuster movie war scene with the mountainous Australian landscape in the background.

As Big Ad begins, one large group of men in red robes walks swiftly towards an incoming group of men in yellow robes. As they get closer to each other with a quickening pace, they sing the words, “It’s a big ad. Very big ad. It’s a big ad we’re in,” to the tune of Carl Orff’s epic work, “O Fortuna.”

As the ad and song reach their climax, the men run towards each other at full speed as they loudly sing, “It’s a big ad! For Carlton Draught! It’s just so freaking huge! It’s a big ad. Expensive ad. This ad better sell us some bloody beer!”

As the thousands of men run closer to each other, viewers see that they’re not actually rushing into a huge battle. Instead, from a sky view, viewers can see that the men wearing red are shaping the image of a man drinking beer, while the men in yellow are shaping the beer glass and the beverage going into the man’s stomach. The ad ends with close-up shots of the robes men in the group holding out Carlton Draught beer.

The Carlton Draught commercial so memorable because it hilariously and tastefully mocks the ridiculously high-budget commercials, as well as the advertising world, while still spreading huge awareness for Carlton Draught.

When reflecting on Big Ad and the ad industry, a post from O’Reilly notes the epic TV commercial style has “been a central feature of advertising for decades. Its defining characteristics are a dramatic setting, a huge cast, significant dollops of post-production, and a rather po-faced disposition. All of which makes it ripe for satire.”

The spot was also part of a broader spoof campaign that mocked the grandeur and masculinity in beer industry advertising. Two other ads within the campaign, titled “Made From Beer,” told stories of how science, technology, and horses were involved in the brewing process as well as how all men needed a canoe to seem masculine.

Big Ad, which might be the most memorable commercial in the George Patterson campaign, went on to win a Gold Lion and was nominated for the Grand Prix at the 2006 Cannes Lions Festival.

“Not Happy, Jan!” – Yellow Pages Australia (2000)

Before the internet, brands around the world relied on the Yellow Pages, a book filled with local business ads and phone numbers of individuals with landlines in the immediate area. And, even though some regions don’t rely on the Yellow Pages to find all the local contact information we need any more, we can still get an idea of just how important it was to local businesses from the ad below.

In the commercial, a frustrated boss played by comedian Deborah Kennedy flips through the Yellow Pages and calls a scared employee named Jan into her office. Kennedy’s character asks Jan why their company’s ad isn’t featured in it. Jan panics, runs out of the office, and down the street realizing she forgot to order the Yellow Pages ad.

Kennedy tries to remain calm, counting to ten until she runs to the window bursting with anger. She stares out the window at Jan running away and yells, “Not happy, Jan!”

The ad, produced by Clemenger BBDO, wasn’t just funny and entertaining to viewers. It also became iconic in Australian culture. Shortly after airing, the phrase, “Not happy, Jan” became heavily used in vernacular when Australians wanted to jokingly show disappointment related to someone’s incompetence.

In a Daily Telegraph interview, Kennedy explained that the phrase “Not happy, Jan,” was “like swearing at your kids without swearing. It just took on a life of its own … it was everywhere.”

Although people in some areas barely use the Yellow Pages, this ad’s storyline still feels timeless and entertaining. Why? Because it cleverly uses humor and relatability to show a need for its product.

Odds are many people have dealt with a bad boss, forgetting to do something important at work, or a need to use the Yellow Pages to learn more about a local business. Similarly, many entrepreneurs and marketers in the 1980s through the early 2000s considered or purchased ads in the Yellow Pages. This ad tells a story that most of its viewers could relate to.

“I Can See the Pub from Here” – XXXX (1988)

Before it was rebranded as XXXX, Castlemaine XXXX’s early beer commercials often showed rural Australian residents, farmers, and construction workers getting into humorous, but dangerous, situations just to get ahold of XXXX beer.

After a wild scene, a narrator would read the edgy tagline, “Australians Wouldn’t Give a Castlemaine XXXX for Anything Else.” Since the tagline was a play on a commonly used phrase curse word, the ads insinuated that Australians wouldn’t care so much about any other beer or thing.

Below is one memorable 1986 ad where two cowboys are riding through the Australian landscape when one’s horse gets spooked by a snake and tosses him off a cliff.

The cowboy’s friend jumps off his horse and clumsily falls down the cliff trying to find his friend who’s loudly calling out to him. After the friend continues to fall dramatically down the cliff to reach the other cowboy, he gains his footing and yells, “I’m coming, Snowie!” He then falls down a hill, faceplanting into a tree. At that point, the cowboy who fell off the cliff first yells “Up here!” as the other cowboy looks up confused.

In a funny turn of events, the cowboy who first fell off the cliff is shown nearly unscathed, pleasantly holding on to a tree. He looks at his disheveled friend who’s just fallen hundreds of feet down a cliff to save him, smiles, points, and says, “I can see the pub from here.”

The camera then points to a middle-of-nowhere pub as Castlemaine’s iconic tagline appears:

This campaign, conceived by the agency Saatchi & Saatchi, is effective because it tells an exhilarating story that pulls viewers in, makes them laugh, and ultimately ties back to the main product: beer.

This is a great example of how marketers can use creativity to produce a fairly simple add that gains memorability and awareness all around the country.

“Louie the Fly” – Mortein (1962)

For years, Australians have followed Louie the Fly, an insect who constantly gets killed off in Mortein bug spray commercials. But, decades before the fly was modernized as a full-color cartoon, he was just a basic, hand-drawn animation in the classic black and white ad that introduced him below.

In the commercial, Louie the Fly introduces himself with a fun jingle. He sings, “Louie the Fly, I’m Louie the fly. Straight from rubbish, tip to you. Spreading disease with the greatest of ease. Straight from rubbish, tip to you.”

As the fly sings, he also digs through garbage and dances around a messy house.

In the climax of the ad, he sings, “I’m bad and mean and mighty unclean. Afraid of no one, except for the man with the can of Mortein.” Then, he turns around to see a can of Mortein spraying him. He looks scared, fades off-screen, and then dies as another singer enters the jingle with, “Poor dead Louie. A victim of Mortein.”

After the jingle, Mortein’s products are shown as the spokesperson explains that its ingredients safely and effectively kill pests in the home.

While this ad’s animation and jingle might feel pretty basic today, it was innovative for its time — and incredibly risky due to large production expenses. To bring Louie the Fly to life, Mortein’s agency, McCann-Erickson, needed help from musicians, sound engineers, animators, and voice actors.

Luckily, audiences enjoyed Louie the Fly — enabling him to be a notable fictional character in advertising. Even in recent years, Mortein has created ads that continue to show him getting killed off by bug spray products. They even dedicated a page of their website to him in the early 2000s.

Most recently, Louie the Fly’s jingle was inducted in the National Film And Sound Archive of Australia’s Sounds of Australia registry,

“Mortein ads still feature the unmistakable tune of the original jingle. And while everyone’s favourite gangster fly shows no sign of disappearing …, the fact that the jingle is now part of Sounds of Australia means it will live on at the NFSA for future generations to enjoy,” states a post on NFSA’s site.

While Mortein’s ad required a high-budget decades ago, marketers with smaller budgets can still take a note from them today. The commercial above is a great example of how a creative storyline or simple jingle can highlight the value and need for a product.

“Happy Little Vegemites” – Vegemite (1956)

Although Vegemite was invented and sold in Australia as early as 1922, it didn’t get its first commercial until the 1950s, after it had already become a common Australian ingredient eaten by residents and members of the Australian military during World War II.

While many of the commercials on this list use humor to draw audiences, Vegemite’s iconic 1956 ad, produced by Wunderman Thompson (formerly J Walter Thompson), thrived on circus entertainment. In the commercial, children dressed like animals, clowns, and “little Vegemites” sing, dance, and do light circus stunts to Vegemite’s original jingle. Behind them sits a large jar of Vegemite.

Vegemite’s jingle explained how commonly Vegemite was used as a meal spread and the health benefits it could provide to children. Here’s just one excerpt.

“We all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch, and tea. Our mummies say we’re growing stronger every single week. … We all adore our Vegemite. It puts a rose in every cheek.”

As the children finish singing the jingle, a girl sings, “It puts a rose in every cheek.” The camera cuts from a close up of her in costume to a close up of her at the dining table eating a meal covered with Vegemite. Then, a narrator explains that Vegemite is a great source of vitamin B12, adding, “Be sure you put Vegemite next to the pepper and salt whenever you set the table!”

Today, Australian marketers still look back at this commercial for how iconic it was. While middle-aged Australians might know parts of the song by heart, others have adopted the term, “Happy little Vegemites” as an ironic way to describe a group of people who are satisfied with something.

Although Vegemite’s ad was made nearly 70 years ago, it’s still timeless and effective.

First, it pulls a viewer into the action by showing them a fun circus-like song and dance. Then, it educates viewers on the health and taste benefits of the product. Finally, it ends with a clip of a happy girl enjoying Vegemite with her meal, which might have been relatable to the many Australians who had already eaten or heard of Vegemite by this point.

Creating Memorable Content

Whether you’re a marketer in Australia or any other country, you can learn a thing or two from all of the iconic Australian ads above. Even if you don’t have an agency or a huge video budget to produce content, here are a few tips you can scalably follow:

• Be relatable: One thing Australian commercials do well is create situations that viewers can relate to, such as a pesky fly in the house or the stress of an angry boss. Consider content or video storylines that will allow your audience to identify with your brand.
• Leverage humor: One great way to develop a sense of relatability, while also entertaining your audiences is with humor. This is why many Australian marketers emphasize it within their content.
• Present a value proposition: An ad is no good if people don’t understand your product or what it does. Although the ads above place viewers in entertaining scenes or storylines, they still weave in descriptions of what their product is, why people need it, and what makes it unique.

I personally love the rustic look of knotty pine for tongue and groove panelling and newer cabinets, but in an older home, or cabin, pine cabinets can look worn out and obviously old. You can refinish knotty pine to restore the natural beauty of the wood, but with cabinet painting becoming a popular trend for budget-friendly kitchen remodelling, more people are choosing the look of white paint over the wood stain. Painting knotty pine cabinets is a bit more work than painting knot-free wood like maple.

To consider what ad fatigue is, let’s start with an example.

Consider times you’ve changed the TV channel because you’ve seen the same ad ten times that night already.

Alternatively, think about occasions when you’re so tired of hearing a certain commercial that you switch off your radio completely.

These are both examples of ad fatigue — an issue that occurs when users become too accustomed to a specific type of ad, thus reducing its effectiveness.

As marketers, it’s crucial we continuously serve fresh, high-quality, and targeted ads to ensure your content continues to inspire your audience, rather than causing frustration.

Below, we’ll discuss what ad fatigue is, common symptoms attributed to ad fatigue, and what you can do to fix it. Let’s dive in.

What is ad fatigue?

Ad fatigue occurs when your audience sees your ads so often that they become bored with them and stop paying attention.

This, in turn, causes your campaigns to become less effective, prevents users from moving down the sales funnel, and ultimately hurts your company’s bottom line.

Ultimately, the purpose of advertising is to turn new viewers into customers, which can’t happen if you’re over-serving your ads to the same viewers, or creating low-quality ads.

Fortunately, if you recognize ad fatigue early on, you can reverse its effects by building new campaigns. It may be as simple as altering the image you use on your Facebook ads, or using Google ad features to adapt text based on your audience’s habits and preferences.

Alternatively, perhaps you need to employ a strategic schedule to make sure your ads are only served at the most relevant times so that you can achieve optimal ROI.

Whatever the case, we have a few tips and tricks to help you maximize your marketing success. Let’s explore those, next.

3 Signs Your Audience Has Ad Fatigue

Perhaps you suspect that ad fatigue is affecting your campaigns, but you’re not entirely sure how to detect it.

The following are some common symptoms that you might experience if your audience is growing tired of your ads:

1. Lower Click-Through Rates (CTRs)

Your click-through rates (CTR) are arguably among the most important metrics to measure when it comes to tracking and addressing ad fatigue. CTR demonstrates how engaging your ad is — and, in particular, whether it’s convincing enough to compel visitors to explore your brand further.

For instance, if your ad displays a 10% discount on your new fall shoe line and it has a high CTR, you can assume the ad is effectively encouraging visitors to stop what they’re doing, and take a look at your newly-discounted products.

If your CTR numbers fall considerably over time, it could be because you’re boring your audience, and they’re no longer willing to engage with your brand.

2. Less Engagement

Speaking of engagement, have you checked in to see how followers are interacting with your business on social media?

If people casually view your ads and move on, they’re not really engaged — and an engaged audience is key to yielding comments and shares. If you’re noticing reduced social engagement, it could be a sign that you’ve inflicted ad fatigue onto your followers in ways that make them less motivated to interact with all your content: both paid and organic.

3. Fewer Impressions

Social media algorithms are set up so that only the most relevant content appears at the top. The same goes for advertisements ­— paid social media ads will only appear if they’re applicable for that particular user. This means that, if people aren’t interacting with your paid posts, they’re not as likely to see them in the future. So, if your impressions have decreased over time, it might be time to revamp your ad campaigns.

Like most obstacles in life, you can’t remedy ad fatigue until you recognize that it’s a problem. By examining the aforementioned metrics continuously over time, you’ll get a better understanding of how your audience feels about your brand. Once you know that ad fatigue may be to blame for less-than-stellar campaign performance, you can make small-but-strategic improvements to breathe new life into your marketing strategy.

Let’s take a look at a few potential ad fatigue cures now.

How Can You Cure Ad Fatigue?

It doesn’t always take a ton of work to reduce ad fatigue. Sometimes, simple changes can be all you need to update the look and feel of your advertisements.

Here are three steps you can take to refresh your campaigns so that your audience will be more interested in the content you’re sharing.

1. Update the background color of your display ads.

Everyone needs a change of scenery now and then.

We’re often exposed to the same images over and over, which can be tiring and compel us to ignore the ads next time we see them.

Display ads can be particularly susceptible to ad fatigue because you’re showing the same audience the same advertisement multiple times.

Luckily, there’s a simple fix to avoid this conundrum: by changing the background color of your ads, you can refresh your audience’s interest in your content. This small change is often enough to make your advertisements appear brand-new.

2. Customize your ads using ad customizers.

Google’s ad customizers have been around for a few years now, and they’re powerful tools for increasing conversions and maintaining ad freshness.

If you’re running Pay-Per-Click (PPC) ads, you might not be aware of the power that customizers hold, but it’s time to change that — ultimately, Google’s ad customizers ensure your ads stay fresh and relevant, while simultaneously creating a sense of urgency that entices your followers to click on your calls-to-action.

In short, ad customizers dynamically update your advertisements with content that’s tailored to your audience, and deliver that content in a time-sensitive manner.

For instance, let’s say you have a limited time, end-of-year promotion happening right now. Ad customizers allow you to get the word out about your promotion in real-time when it’s most relevant to users. You can use this feature for one-time situations, recurring events, or location-specific opportunities. Even better, once you get them set up, ad customizations are pretty hands-off.

3. Rotate your ads frequently.

As a marketer, you know that schedules are important: you need a clear plan to keep all of your campaigns on-track.

That being said, showing an ad too many times to the same people can easily lead to ad fatigue.

Combat this issue by creating multiple ads and rotating them. These versions can all deliver the same content, but should include differences in text or design. This helps to keep your content fresh and allows you to optimize your campaigns based on which ads perform best. (A/B testing these ads can be an effective option for ensuring you’re serving the highest-performing ads to your visitors.)

Keep in mind that when you’re rotating your ads, you should also ensure that you’re only delivering your messages at the most relevant times of day (and on the most relevant days). Include your rotations in your marketing calendar for streamlined execution and better results.

4. Monitor your campaigns.

It’s not enough to write new copy or swap out your creative — you’ll need to continuously track your ads to ensure fatigue doesn’t set in with your updated campaigns. If you’re not monitoring your ads’ performance, you won’t be able to tell if your audience has lost interest in them.

To keep ad fatigue on your radar, be sure to monitor frequency (the number of times users see your ads) and CTR (the number of times people click on your ads divided by the number of impressions). This allows you to identify ad fatigue early on and adjust your strategy accordingly.

How One Marketing Agency Cured Ad Fatigue

Zero Gravity Marketing (ZGM), a full-service digital marketing agency located in Connecticut, was put to the test when it came to curing ad fatigue for one of its clients. In this case study, a client was running a paid social media campaign that hadn’t changed ad variations in over three months.

ZGM employed a strategic approach to improve organic traffic and turn visitors into loyal customers. To reduce the ad fatigue the client’s audience was experiencing, the agency first identified and scaled back ineffective campaigns. Then, they took the following steps to refresh the existing PPC strategy:

• Conducted Keyword Research: ZGM’s Search Engine Optimization (SEO) team conducted keyword research to pinpoint new, more effective search queries related to the client’s brand. The PPC team then used these terms within the ads.
• Rewrote Ad Content: Leaning on the new keyword research, ZGM refreshed the campaign’s messaging to be more relevant to the target audience.
• Set Up Goal Tracking: To better monitor progress, the team also set up goal tracking for social media button clicks, account log-in form fills, and more.

The results? ZGM’s strategy quickly lent itself to significant improvements in campaign ROI. In just three months, the client experienced a 17% increase in organic traffic, and a 10% increase compared to the previous year.

No matter what type of business you run, your ultimate goal is to build brand awareness and turn leads into loyal customers. Of course, one of the best ways to do this is through fresh, relevant paid ads. As you move forward with your digital advertising strategy, be sure to update your campaigns from time to time to ensure your audience remains engaged. That way, you can avoid the negative effects of ad fatigue and see greater marketing success.

Discount realtors could be a fantastic alternative to reduce the expensiveness of full-service realtor payments from the sale of a residence that typically ranges in the amount of six percent of the price for which a house sells. Before utilizing a discount realtor, homeowners should take into consideration that utilizing a discount realtor will certainly not save them the complete compensation rate. Discount realtor solutions range in rate from a level cost solution to lower percentage rates depending upon the services the seller wants.

By having an ‘offer for sale by owner’ home on a level charge MLS listing service other realtors will bring home customers right into your house. If another real estate agent generates a purchaser, the property owner will certainly need to pay compensation to that selling real estate professional. This is important for sellers to keep in mind due to the fact that it implies that they will be conserving half the commission they would certainly have paid using a full-service realtor as opposed to the total.

Flat fee realtors use a lot of the exact same sorts of record services that full-service real estate professionals offer including binder as well as contract documentation. Real estate agents that help with these documents likewise range in giving file solutions for less than typical rates or for level rates. Since agreements utilized by discount realtors are normally fill-in-the-blank documents, vendors can usually acquire such a paper by themselves, and also the stipulation of such a contract would certainly not by itself warrant payment paid to a real estate professional. Sellers could likewise make use of an attorney for the contract for the sale. Receiving the down payment at the time of the agreement finalizing which is usually around 10 percent of the acquisition price will need that a homeowner has a real estate professional or lawyer or escrow agent to hold the down payment money. Various other documents from title searches to mortgage documents are commonly dealt with by professionals in those areas and as long as a seller is making use of a checklist making particularly required documentation is acquired for closing, a realtor is not a needed part of assembling these documents. Setting up closings and also calling suitable celebrations will certainly likewise likely become part of a For Sale By Owner’s work when a discount rate broker is used.

One of the most considerable areas that identify full-service flat fee realtors from the series of full-service real estate agents is in the area of marketing the house. From indicators to promotions in media to screening buyers and generating web traffic, real estate agents promote that their solutions will certainly save a seller inconvenience and also an initiative in obtaining an interested customer. This is a judgment phone call that each vendor should create him or herself. Revealing a home, making visits for buyers to see your home, and establishing the capability of a purchaser to pay for your home can be long work that might deserve the extra expenditure. On the various, other hands, discount realtor services are thriving since lots of people do not think that realtors measure up to their pledges regarding providing these specific advertising solutions.

The level of service that is offered depends on the agent or broker being hired and can vary greatly between providers. So if you’re going to go this route, be sure to review the contract closely so you understand exactly what they will (and will not) do for you. There are several different types of discount real estate agent models.
