Sorry, some of the animation builds don't work here.

Who’s behind the searches? Challenge: Look beyond clicks and
conversions Method:
Map keywords to valued segments & behavioral data to drive strategic planning opportunities
Segmentation analysis via search data + other data sources
Outcome: Detailed Searcher Profiles
Case Study: Consumer Financial Brand Uncovers High Risk Customer behind Top Keywords

Big Wins for Consumer Financial Services Client
Key Take-aways: Searchers are unique in multiple ways One of “best performer” KWs clearly tied to a
higher-risk financial profile (Millennials) Opportunities:
Modify experience & product offerings to the type of person, not just the keyword
Engage Millennials in a different pathway Other sites of value for potential
advertising or partnership
Approach: Leverage internal metrics, syndicated tools and third party research to identify qualified Company X searcher profiles (1 month of data)
Search Term Segments Analyzed (based on top 10 qualified KWs)

Methodology
o Reward Termso Offer Termso Lending Product Terms o Feature Terms
Searchers are unique by the keywords they use, suggesting we should strategically test by profile group or unique behaviors
“Apply” KW term searchers skew lower HHI, but over-index for Millennial age group who are mobile savvy. Testing on their preferred screen could expose unique insight
Contextual targeting & competitive ad copy is unique per profile– “Reward” term searchers are not only looking to collect reward points, they want
to exchange them (barter)– “Apply” & “Partner Product” searchers might be more influenced by family
oriented content
