For CMOs and business owners, the process of achieving these goals starts from gathering data – valuable data. The challenge, however, lies in turning this data into information and eventually into an insight into their marketing efforts. Marketing metrics serve this purpose by feeding the marketing personnel solid data insights.

Here's how you can utilize Riyo.ai to analyze metrics into and generate quality leads with a successful strategy:

Prioritize your Leads

Riyo.ai provides detailed browsing history of user behavior based on the pages they visited and time spent on a page. It allows you to distinguish between the users who have a buying intent and those who are only here to gain some information. With relevant touchpoints throughout the entire customer journey, it helps you reach the right people. Further, it contains advanced filters for sorting your leads according to the page, source, company, country, and date range.

Close Deals with Real-time Chat

Once prioritized, marketers can use advanced filters like sorting your leads based on their tag – warm, hot, and cold leads. For starting up an instant conversation with a current visitor or potential lead, real-time chat helps close the deal right away. Even if the visitor isn't ready to buy yet, you can list the leads interested in buying from you by utilizing the filters. The page filter allows you to track the views and traffic of a specific page, for example, pricing, service, or a demo request. It means a lead is only interested in purchasing one particular service.

Build Buyer Personas Through Location and Company Filters

Buyer personas are an essential tactic for any marketing strategy, and it provides a clear idea of how your target audience looks before you start marketing to them. Real data plays a huge role here instead of making assumptions. The pool can include a combination of your prospects, customers, leads, or even people outside your contact base.

Riyo.ai provides dedicated filters to begin building these profiles. To facilitate it, you can set the location (country), company size, and job title filters. The country filter allows you to target a specific area where you want to market. The company filter will enable you to either set the size or even the company's name to make the profile more accurate. Similarly, you can create different personas based on the services and tags filters.

Generate Actionable Marketing Reports

Generate marketing reports through the dashboard to view how your marketing efforts turn out. It includes a concise and detailed view of what your website visitors usually search on the website. With date range filters, you can access monthly, quarterly, or yearly reports to gauge the differences in your traffic. Moreover, you can also interpret which location is the most relevant for your marketing strategy to work, depending on the amount of traffic generated in a period.

Benefits of Measuring Marketing Metrics

Knowing the success of your marketing campaigns depends on having a complete understanding of the goals pursued by your company. Comparing the performance of past marketing campaigns to forecast the performance of your plans for the future is a suitable way to go about it. Henceforth, we would like to draw your attention to the metrics used by leading models in B2B marketing. Moreover, it would also provide insight into how other B2B marketing teams may be already deciding their next steps to be effective at driving traffic through organic channels.

In a nutshell, understanding your traffic sources is very important while marketing. Understanding the opportunities (i.e., where or how people are coming from), industry-specific metrics, and using powerful tools can ultimately help you improve your engagement metrics and increase the efficiency of your bottom of the funnel.

Understanding Which Channels to Invest in

Traffic accumulation KPIs were the first metric to be calculated when developing the entire traffic generation strategy. Nowadays, there are constant discussions about goals and KPIs and how to drive traffic. In many cases, growth has become confused with optimizing, and at times, it can be challenging trying to evolve from an ad or paid traffic.

Furthermore, marketing teams focused on these goals might also be inclined to focus more on optimizing when they see their efforts yield good traffic results. These can range from rotating keywords and excluding irrelevant ones, more monthly search volume, improved conversion rates, etc. Needless to say, understanding the type of traffic and type of B2B qualified leads these companies are currently acquiring is crucial to the ability of these companies to maintain a sustainable, high level of growth.

Measuring metrics helps build customer personas

Conversations involving form fill-ins, phone calls, and chat entail greater focus, especially when B2B companies want to build customer personas through a combination of authoritative content and effective email marketing. Expanding/updating content is another important way for B2B companies to engage their audiences.

Responding to the increasingly fast-paced digital environment means that most customers now expect and need more content to keep up with changes in their spheres of influence. User engagement and retention remain at the top of the priority list for B2B marketers. It is experiential or engaging content that drives their growth and larger audience.

Improves Employee Performance

Human resources are the most significant measure to track the efficiency of an organization. A recent study by ITSMA and Vision Edge Marketing highlights that approximately 74% of marketers fail to measure and report the impact of marketing efforts on their business. However, it remains unclear whether the reason behind such failure is a lack of knowledge on using appropriate metric tools or resources.

Tracking marketing metrics for a single timeframe could prove helpful; however, they might lose their essence if not followed for longer spans. Hence, watching and monitoring the metrics over multiple periods can often be beneficial in gaining insights about future or ongoing trends. Moreover, a comparison between quarterly and monthly views can help make necessary adjustments in the marketing strategy.
