10 MEASUREMENT TESTS 1. The truth test. Are we really measuring what we set out to measure?
2. The focus test. Are we only measuring what we set out to measure?
3. The relevancy test. Is it the right measure of the performance measure we want to track?
4. The consistency test. Will the data always be collected in the same way whoever measures it?
5. The access test. Is it easy to locate and capture the data needed to make the measurement?
6. The clarity test. Is any ambiguity possible in interpreting the results?
7. The so-what test. Can and will the data be acted upon, i.e. is it actionable?
8. The timeliness test. Can the data be accessed rapidly and frequently enough for action?
9. The cost test. Is the measure worth the cost of measurement?
10. The gaming test. Is the measure likely to encourage undesirable or inappropriate behaviors?

OPTIMIZATION
• You can and should optimize every part of your path to purchase. • Always use experimental methodology
– Keep a control group – Ensuring you test changes in isolation – Using statistically significant volumes before calling the result.
• Don’t optimize to a single metric • Things don’t stay optimized, be ready for the long haul.

PRIORITIES 1. Purchase Funnel
Changes here will have the greatest impact on your bottom line and prove out most quickly and cost you the least to implement.
2. Site Content Changes here will have follow on effect to sales, but take longer to prove out, and cost slightly more.
3. External Content Changes to Organic Social Profiles will have a follow on impact to site and sales, but will take substantially longer to prove and may impact on performance of prior stages but should not require a substantial outlay of cost or time.
4. Advertising Creative Changes to creative or messaging in advertising will have a follow on impact, but will take some time to prove out as users need to filter through all prior stages in the funnel, this is the first stage where substantial investment may be required.
5. Media Channels & Targeting Changes to your media channels, targeting & investment level will take the longest time to prove out and may require changes to be made to every successive optimization stage.
