Using data analytics to enhance your display ad campaigns is not just about tracking — it’s about learning, optimizing, and making every ad dollar smarter.
Here’s how EMILY® helps businesses turn analytics into better-performing display campaigns:
📊 1. Track the Right KPIs (Not Just Impressions)
To move beyond surface-level data, EMILY sets up tracking for:
Click-through rate (CTR)
Conversion rate (CVR)
Cost per acquisition (CPA)
View-through conversions
Bounce rate & scroll depth
Time on page and funnel drop-offs
📍 EMILY uses Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Tag Manager to unify your metrics into a single performance view.
🎯 2. Use Audience Data to Refine Targeting
Data shows who’s really engaging. EMILY helps:
Build custom audience segments (e.g., people who viewed pricing pages)
Analyze demographics, geo, and device types
Develop lookalike audiences from converters
Create retargeting pools based on user actions (like cart abandoners or blog readers)
Insight: You may find one age group or zip code converts better — so we shift more budget there.
🔄 3. A/B Test Creatives and Landing Pages
Analytics lets you test:
Ad headlines, imagery, colors
Calls-to-action (CTAs)
Layout and UX of landing pages
Track:
Which version drives more engagement?
What changes increase CVR?
EMILY runs monthly multivariate testing and adjusts display ad elements based on performance data.
📍 4. Location & Device Optimization
Analytics reveal:
Where your ads perform best (geo-based heatmaps)
Which devices convert more (mobile vs. desktop)
What time of day or days of the week yield the best ROI
Use this data to:
Schedule ads during peak conversion hours
Adjust bids by location or device
Exclude underperforming geos
🧠 5. Behavioral Analysis with Heatmaps
Using Microsoft Clarity, we track:
Cursor movement
Scroll behavior
Rage clicks and exit points
This uncovers why people bounce — is the page confusing, too long, or missing a CTA?
💡 We’ve used heatmaps to redesign pages and improve conversion rates by 30%+ in under 60 days.
🧩 6. Integrate CRM or Sales Data
Tie display ad interactions to:
Form fills
Sales pipeline stages
Revenue attribution
This shows which ads actually drive qualified leads or purchases — not just traffic.
📈 7. Create Actionable Reports
EMILY’s reports are designed to answer:
Where did your leads come from?
What display creatives or formats worked best?
How much did each conversion cost?
What should you do next month?
Each client receives custom dashboards + strategic recommendations, not just charts and graphs.
