Pay-per-click management; a whole lot easier

New technology from Coremetrics boosts paid search campaign ROI

Melbourne, 27 May 2010 – Coremetrics, the leader in marketing optimisation, today announced a new pay-per-click (PPC) management application that improves top-line business results, reduces operational costs, and demonstrates return on PPC investments.

The new offering, called Coremetrics Search™ 9, is designed to increase return on ad spend (ROAS) while increasing team productivity by automatically analysing paid search ad performance to identify ads that are over- or under-performing compared to the others in the same ad group. This feature allows marketing teams to quickly and easily identify which ads are most likely to deliver results through conversions and sales. Search marketers can easily pause, revise or delete ads to continually promote ads that deliver the best results.

Search 9 also introduces enhanced ad and keyword pivoting to help ensure a high degree of relevancy between ads and keywords. Marketers can easily find all ads containing specific copy and replace it with other copy. This Find and Replace feature can be used to make changes to keyword-level destination URLs as well.

“We get requests all of the time from our customers who are under increasing pressure to validate the efficacy of their online ad campaigns,” said John Squire, chief strategy officer, Coremetrics. “Search 9 offers numerous enhancements designed to simplify how marketing teams manage paid search ads and campaigns.”

To help increase ROAS and drive greater revenue, Search 9 also greatly simplifies the ad scheduling process. Marketers can easily schedule any set of ads to launch at any date and time in the future, or on a regularly recurring schedule. Search 9’s advanced filters enable marketers to identify which ads will be affected by schedule changes. Marketers can use structured filters to target specific ads by identifying campaigns, ad groups or vendors, and/or specific content included in those ads.

Coremetrics Search is the only PPC management solution built on the foundation of enterprise-level web analytics and fully integrated into the Coremetrics Continuous Optimisation Platform.
