Notes de l'éditeur

  1. In my career, I’ve spent nearly a decade working for different asset management firms of various sizes-I’ve worked for a relatively small firm with a few hundred million in assets as well as a very large firm with several trillion in assets. My job during that time was to attract investors and grow AUM using digital marketing. And today I’m going to share with you some specific tactics that you can start using now to attract more investors to your firm.
  2. Let’s start off my looking at a simplified version of the different stages of the buying cycle.
  3. For today’s webinar, we are going to focus on the top of the funnel and dive into specific strategies that will help drive more inbound traffic to your website and help you convert these visitors into leads and ultimately help you drive more net new assets.
  4. First topic we are going to cover is PPC or Pay Per Click advertising
  5. You’ll know this type of advertising when you do a search as it’s clearly labeled as an Ad in the top results and also you’ll sometimes see ads as labeled as sponsored in the side results
  6. These are all paid ads that you bid on with different keywords and search terms. This is an extremely effective way to advertise. Obviously people are actively searching for something. And you advertisement shows up as one of the first results they see. So already you have, in a way, found qualified potential investors as they are expressing an active interest in your product or service by searching for it. If you’re new to Paid Search, you may assume that if you spend more money you can buy the top search results. As you’ll see in a couple minutes, that’s not entirely true. Google takes relevance very seriously and wants to ensure that the people who are searching for something find the most relevant results regardless of whether it’s paid results or organic results. If you think about it from Google’s end, let’s say they allowed any company to bid on keywords and show whatever ad they want regardless of relevance in order for them to maximize revenue. What would happen pretty quickly is people would search for something and see results that don’t correspond to their search and they’d quickly move on and Google would not be the most dominate search engine in the world.
  7. When you are thinking about starting your paid search program, or if you already have a paid search program and you’re thinking about optimizing it, some of the things to consider are these three topics: First- Ad relevance: as we just discussed, google will not give preference to your ad, regardless of how much you are willing to pay if your ad is not relevant to the search terms or keywords. This also extends to the landing page. Google’s algorithm is sophisticated enough to know whether or not the content on your landing page corresponds to the ad copy and the search terms. In order to have successful, high ranking paid advertsing, your landing page must be related to your ad which must also correspond very closely with the search terms. The last piece here is the ad click through rate: are people actually clicking on your ad. Now, these 3 factors aren’t the only factors to consider, but they are the most important and they are where you should first focus your energy. There are others such as geographic performance, device targeting performance, and expected CTR. These are the basics though. Start here! These three factors most directly impact your quality score. If this is the first time you are hearing the term quality score, let me define it for you: Quality Score is a variable used by Google, and other search engines that can influence both the rank and cost per click (CPC) of ads. As you can see from the definition, The quality score has a direct impact on: Auction eligibility: better quality typically makes it easier and cheaper to enter an auction and also help determine whether your ad is qualified to appear at all. Cost-per-click (CPC): Higher quality can often lead to lower CPCs. That means you pay less per click when your ads are higher quality. Ad position: Higher quality ads lead to higher ad positions, meaning they can show up higher on the page.
  8. So let’s start at the very beginning with selecting your keywords. There are a few factors to consider and Striking the right balance is very important when selecting your keywords. Especially if you’re working with a limited budget. COVER DEFINITIONS You should definitely be as comprehensive as possible when doing your keyword research, and when deciding which campaigns and ad groups to fund, and how much budget to put behind them, these factors will need to be taken into account. You can spend, and will, spend a lot of money very quickly through PPC so you want to spend it as effectively as possible. You may have a keyword with low search volume, but high ROI, so it makes sense to go for it. For example as a keyword or set of keywords like, “high dividend short duration fixed income products” probably has a low search volume because it is so specific, but if you offer a high dividend short duration fixed income product, you’ll probably have a relatively high conversion rate. Conversely there may be terms with huge volume, like “best investment strategy” that may not be as valuable because of the broad nature of the term. That’s where relevance comes into play.
  9. Writing good, compelling, and unique ad text for PPC is an incredible challenge. Your text needs to be relevant to the search term, aligned to the intent of the search, and compelling enough to get that user’s click. It also needs to accurately describe the content of the destination page when clicked. And all this needs to be done with VERY concise language. Let’s look at this example on the right.
  10. Here are some examples where there is definite room for improvement
  11. When it comes to writing your ad, you only have a TOTAL of 95 characters, plus 35 for a URL for standard text ads Headline: 25 Lines 1 & 2: 35 URL: 35 Google also offers call out extensions as shown in the Nuveen ad. This will give you some extra room to include callouts for your business…Market Leadership, Deep Commitment, Focused Expertise Google also allows you to have ad sitelinks. They can be very generic like the BlackRock ad- in this case they have sitelinks for: , or you can make them more descriptive like the Vanguard ad where they include descriptions within the sitelinks.
  12. You’ve selected the keywords to bid on, your ad has shown up, the final piece is creating an effective landing page that will convert your traffic into leads. -from my point of view, the landing page is where many firms blow their chances for success. COVER TOPICS If you’re just starting out with Paid Search, you’ll most likely use an existing landing page on your website. If it’s relevant, it may be okay in the beginning. But as you become more advanced with your PPC campaigns and you look to optimize conversions you will have to start creating landing pages for your different ad campaigns. Let’s take a look at this example below. I have to say when I was searching for this example, I found a lot of great ads, but when I clicked on them and viewed the landing page, some of them were terrible. Super text heavy with no CTA isn’t ideal. Make your pages clean, concise, with a primary CTA.
  13. You may just start with a standard portfolio review form.
  14. Cover steps Don't fear the competition: if you have competitors you can bid on there brand. You most likely can’t include their brand in your ad copy, but you can bid on their brand to show up in the results right next to them.
  15. It’s best if you are able to show up in both the paid and the organic area. Some people skip right over the paid ads and go directly to the organic results because they want the “unbiased” Google recommendation. So what does it take to have a strong organic ranking when you can’t actually pay money for ranking?
  16. Here are three key factors: Keywords, the performance of your website and the content on your website. Now really that’s not everything, there are many other factors. But these are the foundation and should be nailed first, so start here. At it’s core SEO really just boils down to a set of guidelines that make sure your website provides an easy and valuable user experience for your visitors. What exactly does the algorithm take into account? It’s hard to say for sure, but we do know that Keywords You want to target particular keyword themes by aligning the broader content of your site to those target keywords Website performance Performance (site speed, server errors, code errors, mobile support) Configuration (META tags, OG/Twitter tags, robots.txt, sitemaps, crawl-able code) User experience When a user does find your website in a search and clicks on the listing your site should load quickly, without errors, and present a clear and focused user experience. Content Finally, the content on the site should satisfy the intent of the user’s search. Whether that’s looking for a information, or a service, or a product.
  17. This slide should look familiar to everyone Many of the same considerations go into selecting your SEO keywords as your PPC keywords. In fact, selecting those keywords should essentially be a joint effort. The only other factor added to the SEO equation is how difficult a keyword term is to rank for. Whereas in PPC you can potentially get a higher rank by bidding higher, in SEO, it’s about what Google thinks will be most useful and relevant to the users and they rank that the highest. The challenge with organic search is that you will most likely have competitors that have been in business longer than you and have mastered the optimization of certain keywords. Effectively making it very difficult for you to outrank them. Difficulty shouldn’t mean youexclude a keyword term, but it may affect the priority that you assign to it You may want to focus on keywords that don’t have as much competition associated to them.
  18. Once you have your keywords, The performance of your website is critical to your SEO success. Someone does a search, you come up, they click through. You want them to have a good experience. If you site takes forever to load, that’s a bad experience. If they get to your site and it doesn’t ressonnate with what they were looking for so they leave immediately, that’s a bad experience and those are factors that Google takes into consideration when determining where your site will rank according to search terms. If Google doesn’t deam that you have a quality website, they will rank others ahead of yours. Make sure you have your servers configured correctly. Your front end code is well formatted. Is your site mobile optimized? That now comes into play. All of these factors impact a users experience and Google wants to keep it’s users happy and ensure that the site they recommend provide a high quality experience.
  19. So that brings us to the actual content of your website. Just because Google is a machine, your content should be not be written for it. It should be written for humans. That means don’t try and game the system by stuffing in keywords or repeating them over and over Those are old tactics that Google has caught on to In the old days people would stuff in a bunch of keywords on each page and change the color of the text to match the background. This way humans wouldn’t actually see the keywords, but the website would get credit for having them. The best way to create good SEO content is to create good content. Does that mean it doesn’t matter if you use your keywords? Not at all, humans relate to content that speak their language. Just don’t over do it.
  20. Now SEO itself is difficult, it’s not easy. It takes time, it takes focus and it takes discipline. A change you make on your site today, won’t impact your organic results tomorrow. Google will constantly change your ranking, they will test and see where your site fits back. SEO requires a lot of focus, because SEO takes TIME. You need to keep your eye on the prize, even if you can’t see it yet. It takes discipline across departments and buy-in from all levels. It’s everyone’s job, not just the SEO manager. You need help from your web team, content team, PR team, social media team, paid programs team, and communications team. All your messaging should be consistent and your keywords should be weaved in throughout all your content.
  21. Focus on relevance and intent Choose your keywords wisely Build internal buy-in You’ll need cross functional support. You will also need to insert yourself into other people business. Set expectations with your internal stakeholders. There is no silver bullet and it will take time to see results. Balance your objectives. There are many things to focus on: conversion rates, CTRs, Time on site, etc. Decide what is most important and prioritize your objectives. and be patient.
  22. Now let’s spend the next few minutes talking about some other not as well known channels for bringing in new investors at the top of the funnel.
  23. First off – I want to make sure we are all on the same page on what we mean when we are talking about paid programs. Paid programs are a way you can get your content in front of a targeted audience that you wouldn’t normally reach. The great part of paid programs is you can use any content you have already generated – you just have to put it on other sites to expand your reach or through third party emails. The programs we’ll discuss are content syndication, sponsored emails, sponsored webinars, channel takeovers and sponsored content.
  24. Content Syndication – as the name suggests, is the process of syndicating your content assets (like white papers, ebooks, blog articles or videos) on 3rd party websites; Sitelinks, banners, resource centers To set this up, You agree with CS vendors on the price you want to pay for each lead who downloads your content; the vendor provides you those leads at the agreed upon price based on certain targeting criteria. In this example, one of our definitive guides is on a marketing website for people visiting this marketing website to see and download. This is a great way to get your content pieces on other websites in front of thousands of new potential customers.
  25. Before you get started with content syndication – here are some tips to consider: First, make sure you choose a vendor or a website that specializes in your industry. For example, when we are looking for a new content syndication vendor – we will look for high traffic marketing sites with a lot of content. However, if I worked at an Asset Management company, I’d look for site that provide investment advice. Next, most content syndication vendors allow you to be very targeted for the leads or names you receive. For example, you can often specify the job title, location and company size for the leads you receive. Make sure you get the right leads that fit the persona of a potential investor for your company. And finally, the great thing about content syndication is your can pay for leads and not just impressions. You can pay for a guaranteed amount of names in your target filters so you are guaranteed to get leads you need to hit your goals.
  26. There are also ways to do content syndication for free outside of using a content syndication vendor. As a form of content syndication, you can submit to become a contributor for websites that get a lot of traffic and specialize in the investment industry There are often guidelines that you must meet to contribute and typically you have to Create exclusive content (or content that you allow them to use exclusively for a set period before you use on your site or in other capacities). The challenge with this type of syndication is that you are often not allowed to include links to your website. This obviously makes it difficult to use as part of your lead generation strategy. But, having said that, you are still able to get in front of a lot of potential investors that may end up…
  27. Next, let’s take a look at sponsored emails. This is when a vendor sends out your content to their database on your behalf. In this examples, we sent our a content marketing asset to the Web Marketing Today audience. For sponsored emails, the price is often based on the number of people you are sending your email to. Morningstar ETF.com
  28. A couple tips before you get started with using sponsored emails. First – do your research. IF you are going to send out an email to a new audience, make sure you research the type of content that the audience will enjoy. For example, You shouldn’t send out a marketing specific piece to a Sales audience. Also, make sure you track your links in the email you have the vendor send out. Especially if you are sending your audience to your website – you want to make sure you are able to attribute the sponsored email program to the leads that are generated through the program. Finally, remember you are sending an email through a vendor to people you don’t know. You have to be able to identify them in order for them to become leads. In order to do that, you have to offer a compelling reason for them to enter their contact information. This may be a high value white paper or an offer to register for a webinar. Whatever the CTA is, make sure it is obvious on your landing page.
  29. Next, let’s take a look at sponsored emails. This is when a vendor sends out your content to their database on your behalf.

  30. Another option you have for paid programs is channel takeover. A lot of investment websites that offer various different content categories also have different channels. You can choose the channel that best fits your business and takeover the whole channel with your ads. This gives you brand awareness and you can set it up to generate leads as well. You’ll see from the image on the slide that the channel takeover looks very similar to standard banner ads.
  31. A few tips for channel takeovers. First find a website that has a lot of traffic- you want to make sure your takeover is getting seen by a significant amount of potential buyers. Next, a way to make this into a lead generation program is by pointing your ads to a landing page with a trackable form to collect leads. And finally, if you are taking over a whole channel, test the site before it goes live and make sure your banners are everywhere and you get the most impressions as possible.
  32. Finally, let’s take a look at sponsored content. This could also be considered native advertising. Sponsored content is another way to generate leads and drive brand awareness with 3rd party content. You can collaborate with that third party on content development – essentially  co-author that content, and it will appear on their web site as “native.” This is a great way for you to get new content to use and generate new leads and brand awareness. The content piece usually says ‘sponsored by xyz’ and the vendor typically promotes the content and you get the leads from the promotion.
  33. A few quick tips on sponsored content. First – if you have an in-house content team, make sure to consult them first. You’ll need to make sure it is on their radar and it fits the company’s messaging. Second – make sure place links that go back to your website in the new content piece to increase traffic to your website. And finally – if you can, try and make your new content piece go viral! Make your content shareable for social channels.
  34. So, you’ve driven traffic to your website, now what do you do with them? You could serve them your standard content which I’m sure is great, it’s well crafted. We talked about having forms on your website to capture leads, that’s an obvious must-have. But what if you could take the experience beyond generic ads or content and deliver investors Personalize their experience of course! Personalization is a very effective way of engaging your visitors right off the bat by surfacing the content that is most relevant to them. It will help both with your website engagement (good for SEO!) and your conversion rates.
  35. By providing a more personalized experience, you’ll find people stay on your website longer, download more offers and purchase more products. Using demographic and behavioral data to customize web and mobile experiences, marketers can drive up to a 30% increase in conversion rates. (Source: Janrain & Harris Interactive) Personalization isn’t something new. You’ve probably experienced it through YouTube, with suggested videos based on your viewing history or through Amazon when you see suggested products based on your interests and buying history. But are you leveraging it for your business? In email, chances are yes. As we discussed in the last section about segmentation. Even though there are a lot of companies that still rely heavily on broad-based sends, the easiest way to personalize communication is through email. But what about outside of email?
  36. When looking at website personalization we see an average conversion rate of 33% and a 20% increase in qualified lead generation.
  37. Let’s look at a few examples of how you can get personalized messaging and content in front of investors. You’ll want to start with Who you are trying to target, what you are trying to say to them and where you are trying to say it. So, as an example, let’s say we’ve built segmentations to focus on
  38. Sticking with our orginal example, after identifying the segments, you can change the experience to show content that would be most relevant or Peronalized to them.
  39. So you have the who and the what, now heres the where. You can have pop up boxes, you can have recommended content, or as in this example, you can simply swap out an offer on our landing page. Here we have 3 offers, maybe these are our standard offers on the page. But if we know that you are coming from the healthcare industry…
  40. We can swap out one or more of the offers to be super relevant to the financial services vertical.
  41. You can also extend personalization through other digital programs. Here is an example of a generic Marketo digital ad. It looks good and it performs reasonable well, but like a broad based email or a standard landing page it doesn’t take into account any of the wants or needs of the person seeing it.
  42. Again, this is where personalization become so powerful. In this example, we took the segmentation for Healthcare and develop ads specifically for that vertical. By showing these more personalized ads, we were able to drive 2x more lead conversions and saw an increase of 117% in year over year qualified leads. This is not just generic retargeting This is based on comprehensive segmentations that you build out. As an example, let’s say you work at a fund company like blackrock and you want to specifically focus on selling currency hedged funds because you think the dollar will strengthen. Let’s also say that you specifically want to sell to advisors that are already using a competitor’s product because you were late to the game in coming to the market with your product. You can then look at your database of advisors that are using competitors products…you can then create messages about exactly why your product is better than the competition or specific competitor.
  43. We’ll end the presentation briefly covering analytics. We already covered different methods for bringing in new names and leads to your database and we talked about program level optimization. But how can you ensure that the leads you are generating are actually becoming investors? For that, let’s take a deeper look at the type of anyltics you should be familiar with.
  44. In fact only 32%...
  45. It’s easy to see why many marketers are not prepared. Looking at this slide you will see just a snap shot of some of the data you’ll need to track in order to effectively drive business intelligence from your programs.
  46. So let’s look at some of the top of the funnel programs to see where we are generating new names or targets from. This is a screenshot from our revenue cycle analytics report in Marketo. If you don’t have a platform like Marketo, it’s a bit more difficult to run reports like this. You’ll most likely end up exporting data from various sources and consolidating them into a central report. From this report, you can see that you are receiving the most new names from your PPC campaign for branded terms, targeted at prospects in the United States. But which campaign is bringing in the leads most cost effectively? At $0 per lead, your blog is bringing in the most cost-effective leads, while your tradeshows are the most expensive. This may be because blogs consist of content that your internal team creates, while tradeshows involve extra costs for things like sponsorship, booth design, collateral printing, and shipping. But this is not a complete picture …
  47. You don’t want to optimize your programs based on the number of names they bring in. You need to look at later stage metrics such as the number of opportunities, pipeline and revenue won as well as a return on marketing investment. So if we look at the same programs, we’ll see that our tradeshows generated solid pipeline (FT pipe of $1M and almost half of that revenue has been won; ) You also need to consider time to opp as it takes longer for some channels to convert leads to opportunities comparatively speaking
  48. First touch is the first interaction that you defined as a success. It is essentially the program that brings in the Target. A person may see an ad about your company, they may do they’re own research, but the program they engage with first, will get credit as being the first touch. but even that doesn’t tell the whole story.
  49. You’ll want to also track MT. Multi-touch attribution is equally dividing credit among all the programs where that prospect has a success. As an example, let’s say…
  50. By looking at first touch and multi-touch pipeline you can measure different types of effectiveness. A higher amount of pipeline generated for FT indicates which channels are more efficient at acquiring the right type of investors. A higher amount of MT pipeline generated indicates which channels may be more efficient at pushing investors through the funnel.

  52. What content syndication vendors can you recommend? What is that tool you used to show the metrics with attribution?
