Although the internet provides new scope for creative approaches to advertising, we see its advantages when we realise how trackable, and therefore measurable, internet advertising is. It is possible to track all interactions with the ad itself: the number of impressions served, how many clicks it received, post-click AdView data, and how many unique users were reached. This leads to valuable data that can be used to make sensible, effective business decisions.
Data tracking is the process of selecting specific metrics and events to track, then collecting, organising, and analysing the resulting data. Once you’ve analysed the data, you can apply your insights to improve business performance and customer experience (Baker, 2021).
Tracking, analysing, and optimising is vital to the success of all marketing efforts. Digital marketing enables easy, fast tracking and the ability to optimise frequently. When you use real data to make decisions, you’re likely to make the best choices for your business and digital channels.
