- Benu spoke earlier about omni-channel – but how do you measure it? There are a lot of moving parts: Multiple devices, multiple visits and multiple channels According to Google there are 4 fundamental stages: Awareness, Consideration, Engagement and Conversion You must measure audience interaction across ALL 4 stages and across all devices, visits and channels
- To measure your omni=channel engagement you need to be able to track each segment For example, here we are tracking how the conversion stage is affected We can see the impact of Organic, paid search, social – Drill down to see the contribution of each source of traffic With this type of an approach you can start to measure the value of your efforts
