The Search Monitor Launches Lighthouse™ to Give Search Marketers More Precise Market Research for the Holidays
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) October 15, 2013 -- The Search Monitor, the leader in providing competitive data to search marketers, today announced the release of Lighthouse™, a precise, guided navigation system for search marketing industry trends.
“For the holidays, our clients challenged us to paint a richer, more precise picture of how they were performing against specific competitors and industries, especially concerning ad spend,” explained Lori Weiman, CEO of The Search Monitor. “Integrating comScore’s incredibly rich online measurement data was the only way to accomplish this. It was the missing piece of the puzzle and now we’re excited to share Lighthouse with marketers as they begin their holiday planning.”
Lighthouse provides intensely granular visibility into essential competitive search metrics such as impressions, rank, page location, geographies, and dayparting. The integration of comScore data allowed Lighthouse to go one step further and provide more accurate, reliable, and frequent data on clicks, CTR, CPC, and the all-important monthly ad spend.
Lighthouse was built with customization in mind. Search metrics can be applied to a specific competitor, aggregated into 1,200+ different verticals, or grouped into any custom benchmark. Lighthouse also includes an exclusive guided aspect that helps users see how every one of their search metrics rank against their industry leader and competitive tier.
“We know that search marketers demand detailed, accurate, and frequently updated data to help influence their holiday decisions,” added Weiman. “Lighthouse will tell them exactly how much to bid on paid search ads, what copy and offers are most effective, how their PLA units are performing, and even how much to spend each month.”
Lighthouse has a particular specialty in analyzing Google’s PLA units, which are expected to be very common this holiday season. Lighthouse users can generate reports on rank, share of voice and page share for PLAs, compare it to paid and organic data, and then quickly analyze campaign performance for both them and their competitors.
