If you’re ever at a loss on how to strategize with your client, this video will give you a breakdown. The funnel acts as a tornado; typically, these numbers will decrease as you go down the funnel:
- Impressions: A customer /saw/ the product (Sponsored Ads and organic results both count as an impression)
- Click: This is when you click on the perceived listing from the impressions portion of the funnel
- Add to Cart: Keep in mind that people can add things to their cart and continue shopping and not necessarily follow through with the purchase
- Purchases: self-explanatory
In short:
- If your conversion rate goes up the deeper into the ICAP funnel you go, then you’ll need to spend more on ads
- If impressions are smaller than clicks — consumers is finding your product more relevant than your competitor’s product, but we need to get the product some more visibility
- Search Query Report will, by default, rank items by order of importance. IE, items ranked higher are more important to whatever you’re trying to achieve
- If CTR is higher than impressions: you should spend more time on the product (ie, imagery, SEO, pricing). If CTR is lower, then you should focus elsewhere”
