At MozCon my “Digital Body Language” talk was about how you could build a cost-effective customizable Marketing Automation platform and I built it and gave it away for free.

Yep, just quoted myself.

Marketing automation is the cross-section of the skillsets that many of us already know and love.

Page 11: Automation Demystified

According to a study by the Annuitas Group marketing automation helps you make it rain. http://bit.ly/1rT8mEw

Personalization has any number of applications, but it’s generally about highlighting what people are most likely to be interested in based on their user signals.

Page 16: Automation Demystified
Page 17: Automation Demystified

Marketers believe that marketing automation is the best way to improve the ROI of Content Marketing.

Page 18: Automation Demystified

86% of consumers believe that personalization has influenced what they purchased. 31% wish their shopping experience was more personalized.

Page 19: Automation Demystified

According to Yahoo consumers believe that personalizing advertising is more relevant, memorable and engaging than general ads.

Page 20: Automation Demystified

Industry adoption of marketing automation is still low. This is a great time to capitalize.

Alignment of content with user need states and key performance indicators is critical for measurement and effective marketing automation.

I’ve spoken at length about personas, but in this case we can stop at segments rather than building actual personas, but they must be quantitative by identifiable metrics.

Page 30: Automation Demystified

You’ll need to determine which channels you’ll want to be active in with this campaign so you can account for those activities with the right content and tagging.

Organic Search

Paid Search

Referral

Email

Organic Social

Page 31: Automation Demystified

With marketing automation you need to plan for cross-channel measurement with regard to KPIs and campaign tagging. In some case your campaign tags are also a trigger for

automation.

Marketing Automation user flows are largely not linear and can be cross-channel. In planning out MA you must identify specific flows that lead you believe will lead to

conversion.

Page 33: Automation Demystified

Figure out the points within the user flow that you want to A/B or MV test for improvement.

A/B test view layout.

Multi-variate test copy options in plans.

Page 34: Automation Demystified

Triggers can be user actions or attributes that will inform what features on the site or marketing experience needs to be toggled. Cross-channel these can be campaign tags or

referrers.

Time between visits

Number of Page views

Clicks

Referral Channel

User type

User path

Form Submission

Basically anything you can track or measure

Page 35: Automation Demystified

The content needs to respond to a set of rules. You’ll need to determine those rules and then develop specific content

Loyalty Version Awareness Version

Page 37: Automation Demystified

I’ve spoken at length about personas, but in this case we’ll likely have to focus on segments and cohorts rather than personas depending on what your platform setup can measure.

http://bit.ly/1fdLpbo

Page 38: Automation Demystified

Using data from Towerdata you can append demographic and firmographic data to your mailing list or userbase based on email address. http://www.towerdata.com

Page 39: Automation Demystified

You can do the same thing with FullContact although they focus primarily on the social media profiles of a given user http://www.fullcontact.com

Page 40: Automation Demystified

FullContact provides a sheet in Excel that will pull their data down without needing to code.

Page 41: Automation Demystified

You can get your API data directly in Excel with some VBA using Excel-REST.

Page 42: Automation Demystified

You don’t have to be a coder to use APIs. Using Postman allows you to test out API calls with no code at all http://www.getpostman.com

Page 43: Automation Demystified

Orange is a visual data mining tool that gives you powerful statistical analysis without requiring code or math. http://orange.biolab.si/

Page 44: Automation Demystified

K-means Clustering is … http://bit.ly/1qJEKgm

Page 45: Automation Demystified

Use Open Refine (fka Google Refine) http://openrefine.org/index.html. Make sure all the data types in your columns matches.

Page 46: Automation Demystified

Use Open Refine (fka Google Refine) http://openrefine.org/index.html. Make sure all the data types in your columns matches.

In this case the N/A value must become a non-sensical value 1k-0k and the 0 value

must be 0k-0k to ensure consistency

Page 47: Automation Demystified

Use the K-Means clustering method of unsupervised learning to cluster your mailing list based on the features you collect from FullContact.

Page 48: Automation Demystified
Page 49: Automation Demystified

Tribalytics allows you to cluster by features of Twitter followers. http://www.tribalytics.com

Page 50: Automation Demystified

In many cases user flows as seen to be within a given website whereas a journey map is an indication of a cross-channel experience. Build user flows that connect all of the cross-

channel experiences.

Page 51: Automation Demystified

This is how you achieve comprehensive alignment for marketing automation.

Specifically align your channels, content and measurement with each of these phases and determine the triggers and user experience for each one

Page 52: Automation Demystified

Identifying winning or losing paths in your analytics platform specifically by advanced segments is a quick way to figure out worthy user flows for automation.

Page 53: Automation Demystified

Depending on your user segmentation setup you’ll want to define values for the different actions. Your actions should align with your triggers. In this case we have segmentation of

new visitors and repeat visitors.

You can define your scoring range however you’d like, but this is a good schema to work within.

<40 – Very Low Engagement; highly likely to not signup 40-80 – Medium Engagement; most customers will contact you, but not signup 80-100 – Highly Engaged; very high signup rate

Page 55: Automation Demystified

Alternatively, the Google Tag Manager (see @MikeCP’s presentation) is much better for this.

_gaq.push(['_trackEvent',

‘userEngagementEvents', // category of activity

‘[insert name of engagement event here]', // Action

]);

Page 56: Automation Demystified
Page 57: Automation Demystified

Your content strategy should specifically speak to the specific segment’s need at this particular phase and touchpoint and how you’ll address that need to move them through

the funnel.

Page 58: Automation Demystified

Each channel and touchpoint is different and may require a different tone. You must define that tone to ensure it resonates with the target segment. Check out MailChimp’s

http://voiceandtone.com

Page 59: Automation Demystified

You’ll need to define the requirements for the content that will be created for this specific touchpoint and phase. Be mindful that a given page may have multiple options based on

the user’s features and actions.

Page 61: Automation Demystified

Since keywords are gone from the referrer in Organic and Paid Search you can only make changes to the overall experience based on the channel and landing page combination.

Based on the campaign tagging in links from the email you can identify the nurture track and use these variables to trigger additional experiences.

There are any number of tools out there for marketing automation. It depends on your requirements and business goals what you should use.

Page 67: Automation Demystified
Page 68: Automation Demystified

Many of the marketing automation tools integrate with other data providers and give you high level dashboards.

Page 69: Automation Demystified

Undoubtedly, you’ll want a more complete picture of metrics in your dashboards and Klipfolio makes it easy to pull all the data together with APIs. http://www.klipfolio.com

Page 70: Automation Demystified

Most of the data sources we as SEOs use are already pre-baked and those that aren’t are easily set up with no coding.

Page 71: Automation Demystified
Page 72: Automation Demystified

There are lead intelligence and marketing automation tools galore.

Page 73: Automation Demystified

Augur is the closest thing out there to what I’ve built. I’ve spoken to the Founder, he’s incredibly smart and has some features that are well beyond Quantum Lead.

Page 74: Automation Demystified

If you’re on Wordpress I suggest LeadIn for capturing your leads, forms and user paths easily. http://www.leadin.com

Page 75: Automation Demystified

With Augur, LeadIn and a developer you could potentially build everything you else you’ll get out of these other tools.

Page 76: Automation Demystified

These are likely the more familiar marketing automation platforms, but none of them offers a “perfect solution.”

Page 77: Automation Demystified

Mintigo is a very interesting solution for predictive analytics and lead scoring that plugs into these platforms. http://www.mintigo.com

Page 78: Automation Demystified

Personyze has similar drag drop pesonalization functionality to Optimizely and Monetate, but a much lower price tag. http://www.personyze.com
