Merely piling up data is as efficient as stocking up on books without actually reading them. And without turning the information stored in there into... valuable and relevant information for you.
But how can you turn data into actionable insights on your website's current performance? What does it tell you about the user experience that you provide there? What hints does it give you on how to enhance the UX?
And how can you use that data to “fuel” a strategy for boosting your website's ranking?
We're ready to use all of Google's sets of powerful, specialized tools to help you capitalize your raw data and thus answer all your legitimate questions.
Google Marketing Platform
Tools, lots of marketing tools, locked to their platforms like on... isolated islands. So that using them all to power your marketing strategy gets as challenging as directing an orchestra with every musician playing in a different concert hall.
If only you could manage them all from one central place... If only you could synchronize your marketing results across them all and if only they could interact with one another. Like in a cohesive, "living" network...
Well, it's in this “if only” scenario that the Google Marketing Platform steps in to save the day. And what it does is precisely this: provide you with a set of interconnected marketing tools to support your cross-channel marketing efforts.
From sharing and synchronizing your collected data across the whole Google ecosystem, to running instant tests, to cutting down repetitive tasks, to simultaneously using your cloud and your marketing tools... the platform's that “all in one place” measurement system that you need to streamline your marketing workflow.
And speaking of its perfectly coordinated marketing channels, let's name them:
-
Google Data Studio
-
Google Display & Video 360
-
Google Analytics 360
-
Google Surveys 360
-
Google Optimize 360
-
Google Tag Manager 360
As you can see, the platform's built around Google Analytics 360's own set of advanced functionalities.
Its biggest advantages? It's that “Swiss knife” type of marketing platform providing you with all the tools that you need for powering your marketing strategy with. Moreover (and this is a heavy-weight benefit, indeed): all these tools communicate with one another.
You automatically scale your measurement results and your initiatives across the whole ecosystem of marketing and analytics channels. And that's efficiency at its best!
Google Analytics Consulting
Extracting valuable insights from your data takes (much) more than just collecting and then including numbers in a report.
You need to know:
-
WHAT data to focus on: high impact data, relevant for your particular goals
-
WHERE to find it
-
HOW to leverage the measurement tools that Google puts at your disposal to scan through your data and to “extract” value in due time
We're the Google Analytics consultants to help you with the What, Where, and How questions, all centered around turning your data into powerful insights.
How we plan on doing that? By applying our 3-step methodology:
-
audit your existing configurations
-
implement a new Google Analytics strategy
-
further monitor your implementation
We Audit Your Existing Configurations
… and assess the accuracy of their reporting.
For you most certainly have Google Analytics already integrated into your website/application, but are you using it to its full potential?
Does it collect relevant data for you?
It's at this phase that we start prototyping on a new Google Analytics implementation, to better serve your reporting needs.
We Implement a New Google Analytics Strategy
Based on the “holes” that we will have identified in your current implementation and starting from that first sketch of your new strategy, we're now ready to... restructure:
-
we set the proper parameters for your specific goals
-
we define the right metrics for your own campaigns
-
we put together snippets of code for your website
Next, we'll come up with the most suitable combo of Google Analytics tools for your business, ranging from Data Studio to Tableau, from BigQuery to Google Sheets to...
Once turned on, once it starts delivering its accurate reports, we'll still be there, ready to help you interpret them. To show you how to take it from there and turn that data into... action.
We Further Monitor Your Implementation
Ongoing Google Analytics consultancy is what we do here, at OPTASY. That means that we're not the “hit and run type”. We'll keep monitoring your new implementation long after it has provided you with the first reports.
And since we do call ourselves a Google Partner for a good reason: we'll be keeping it up to date with all the new upcoming changes. With each new optimization, we'll make sure that everyone in your team is well informed about that key benefits of each new update for your particular business.
Google Display & Video 360
Be omnipresent! Or at least make sure your marketing campaigns are present on all the relevant types of connected TVs, videos, displays, and audio...
We're here to help you share your insights and the relevant data that you will have collected across your entire ecosystem of digital channels. This way, you can cut down on the time that your team(s) needs to turn that data into concrete actions.
But What Is Google Display & Video 360, More Exactly?
It's a “one-stop” platform that shares your display and video ads across the internet and a whole network of connected TVs.
That central location where you can:
-
manage all your campaigns
-
design your creative

turn your audience data into user insights and applicable solutions
It's Studio, Audience Center, DoubleClick Bid Manager and Campaign Manager all in one place...

It provides you with faster insights
With integrated data-sharing, built-in intelligence across the product in question and product integrations communicating with one another, you get not only faster, but actionable insights, too.
It brings all your campaign metrics in one place
You no longer need to work with disjointed metrics, delivered by multiple tools, each one “isolated” on its own platform. With Google Display & Video 360 you have one central place for managing all your metrics.
It supports your omnichannel marketing efforts
Just imagine the time and effort you'd save leveraging an omnichannel approach to your marketing campaigns.
Your marketing teams won't be tracking success and ROI on each and every separate channel and network report. Instead, they get to tap into global reporting features and attribution analysis...
Google Tag Manager
Let's face it: not having a tagging strategy and still hoping that your tags will get you there, in Google's top results, is like throwing a ball at the wall and hoping it will stick... somehow.
Whereas having a strategy that relies on manual tagging is the surest recipe for an unwanted combo of broken links, keyword-stuffed pages, and extraneous code.
The solution? Opt for Google Tag Manager to power your strategy.
And team up with an agency who knows its features inside out, like OPTASY here, to help you get the most of its capabilities...
In this respect, we advocate for using both Tag Manager and Google Tag Manager 360.

Google Cloud
They could create and integrate new innovative features into your mobile app. They could work on your company website's caching mechanism to boost the page load speed.

Shopping Campaigns
Place your shopping ads strategically in the search results to engage with your potential buyers. And we don't mean just plain, all too conventional and not so attractive text ads, but image-featuring ones. Shopping ads that do reveal enough details to spark interest.
Video Campaigns
Video content is still king, so let us help you reach out to your new potential customers via some carefully crafted video ads. Select the most suitable format for your needs and liven them up with the message you want to convey.

Perseverance is key. So, get the most of your ads, even if that means targeting those shoppers who abandoned their carts on the last minute or recently viewed one of your products/service pages. In this respect, Google Ads provides you with relevant statistical data so you know precisely who's looking and when someone almost bought an item from your online store. And so you can revamp some of those “older” ads that still hold great potential.
