Einstein Is Basically Talking About The Pareto Principle
If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d
spend 55 minutes thinking about the
problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.
#pubcon @RyanJones
So, What IS the Pareto Principle?
#pubcon @RyanJones
Forget “Big Data” we need “Actionable Data”
#pubcon @RyanJones
How Do We Make Data Actionable?
THE 3 “WHATS” OF ACTIONABLE ANALYSIS
1. What Is It?
2. What Does It Mean?
3. What Should We Do About It? It?
Reporting
Analysis
Actionable
#pubcon @RyanJones
Separate Strategy from Tactics
STRATEGY: Get The Hell Out Of
Detroit
TACTICS:BOAT - BRIDGE – TUNNEL – PLANE – TRAIN - JETPACK
#pubcon @RyanJones
Our point of view can drastically change what we “see”
#pubcon @RyanJones
Sometimes Raw Data Can Mean Different Things
#pubcon @RyanJones
ENOUGH THEORY. SHOW ME EXAMPLES
OK… Enough Theory.
Get To The Examples…..
#pubcon @RyanJones
Let’s Start With The Consumer Journey
Old Model New Model
#pubcon @RyanJones
This is NOT a good way to view the consumer journey
#pubcon @RyanJones
OUR MEASUREMENT OF THE CONSUMER JOURNEY MUST CHANGE TO ACCOMMODATE
#pubcon @RyanJones
We Call This Network Graph A “LinkScape”
Canonical Issues Easily Spotted
Duplicate Home Page Variations?
Orphaned Site Sections
This Linkscape was made with a tool called Gephi. It has a steep learning curve but is worth it.
#pubcon @RyanJones
Majestic Graphed The Web in Space. You can do it at home!
#pubcon @RyanJones
Use Network Graphs For Internal Links Too!
Google Fusion Tables are easier to use than Gephi – but your data lives in Google Drive. This is NoSlang.com – A personal site of mine. I made these issues on purpose to “test” with.
CANONICAL ISSUES!
#pubcon @RyanJones
Let’s Talk About Keyword Research Now
#pubcon @RyanJones
Clients Don’t Understand This
THIS TYPE OF REPORTING
SUCKS
#pubcon @RyanJones
Introducing Keyword Opportunity Maps
#pubcon @RyanJones
Content Topography – Keyword, Opportunity, and Social
Content Topography
Search Volume+Competition+Social Mentions=Actionable Content Strategy
#pubcon @RyanJones
Everybody is Familiar with Venn Diagrams
#pubcon @RyanJones
But What Are The Keywords?
#pubcon @RyanJones
Competitive and Gap Analysis Examples – Mapping KW to Pages
#pubcon @RyanJones
We Can Do This With Paid vs Natural Too!
#pubcon @RyanJones
Let’s Compare Paid Strategies [do not insert political joke here]
LEFT: Candidate has a high paid and natural overlap – clearly going for maximum exposure, impressions, clicks, etc. Paid search people call this 1+1=3
RIGHT: Candidate is using paid search to supplement organic rankings.
#pubcon @RyanJones
We can also map keywords to pages.
#pubcon @RyanJones
Let’s look at mobile first indexing and AMP…
#pubcon @RyanJones
Look at Sentiment Too
Alchemy API is one of my favorite data sources.
This is a major strip casino – and what alchemy’s algorithm thinks the content is about.
