You have to have a plan! In this session we will discuss how to approach these challenges and problems strategically.

Customized Ads – Hands-On Creation and Implementation

Using customizers, AdWords ads can be adapted in real time, hence making them very attractive and highly relevant. And there are so many possibilities to use customizers to create dynamic ads: customized ads based on keywords on a big scale, using location-based elements, displaying real time information, and much more. At first glance this might seem complicated and only for the advanced search marketer. The reality is that ad customizers offer a huge potential that can be used with relatively little effort. In this session Martin Röttgerding will give guidelines on how to create, use, and launch dynamic build ads. He will also show concrete examples where you can and should use them. After you leave this session, dynamic ads will be a feature that you can use to supercharge your advertising campaigns.

The Truth, Nothing But the Truth: Announcing the End of the Most Persistent SEO Myths

Do 302 redirects produce link power? Or is this only the case with 301 redirects? Do canonicals have the same effect as 301 redirects? We know that Rank Brain is interpreting search queries. But maybe Rank Brain does much more, such as aggregating relevant ranking signals? Come to this session and learn from John Müller if the answer to these questions is True or False and what Google really thinks.

Analytics & Data

Search Marketing Reports: Why your Data is Lying to You

Every day we make decisions, most of them unconscious, following gut feelings. Data Driven Marketing was meant to be the end of gut feelings and help us base decisions that carry financial risks on reliable data. But advanced search marketers know you can pick and choose from literally hundreds of retrospective reports that say what you want to hear. So did you ever ask yourself how reliable your data actually is? Do you always know on which data aggregation level you are when generating data from the Search Console (and why the data varies so much)? Do you trust your reports blindly and are you aware your data often is massively incomplete? In this session we look at the most common mistakes made in analysis and reporting. Come to this session and ensure that your next reports are truly data driven and help your company be more successful.

Making Attribution Happen

Attribution so very important – and difficult – for every company, no matter which branch, no matter what size. But the challenges for companies that are striving to manage their marketing channels efficiently are huge: intra-channel, cross-channel, cross-device and research online – purchase offline (ROPO). Which attribution should I choose, how can I test whether it works better than what I have right now? How can attribution be implemented not only based on transactions, but focused on the client’s lifetime value? How does dynamic attribution work and what are the requirements? These are only some of the questions that every Online Marketer has to ask himself. Oliver Borm, Advanced Performance Lead for Google in EMEA, focusses on attribution, web analytics and testing. In this keynote he will share his view of the attribution challenges we all face, as well as his approach to an efficient solution to manage marketing channels.

Exclusive -Workshop with Attorney Dr. Martin Schirmbacher: Things that Really Matter When Negotiating with Clients

A big new customer wants to order but things need to move fast. You cannot wait for the deal to close, but the customer does not accept your contract template. Instead, he attaches his purchasing terms and conditions to the order. Is this a make or break? What is really important from a legal perspective when you negotiate with a big client? Which contract clauses can be discussed, which should not be touched? How can you deal with the more common client objections?

Only the Best Survive: AdWords Quality Assurance

Google AdWords offers innumerable optimization possibilities. That’s great on the one hand, but many things can go wrong, and for a long time without anybody noticing; payment methods don’t work anymore; ads show last year’s collection; targeted URLs lead to nowhere; budgets are exceeded; new competitors show up; remarketing lists are filled with wrong information – the potential for mistakes is huge. In addition, you really should be on top of all updates, to ensure you are not missing something important. Based on methods, checklists, scripts and tools you will learn how to secure top quality and avoid mistakes.

The Mobile Playbook Session

Nearly every year for the past decade has seen a significant rise in the volume of mobile search traffic, and now advertisers are seeing it overtake desktop volume across industries. Smart marketers know copying and pasting their desktop search campaigns is no longer a viable strategy; it’s time to create a mobile specific strategy! In this session, Aaron Levy will explore how to build a sound mobile search strategy from the ground up. He will help you define personas at the outset and explore how their behavior differs in mobile relative to desktop. He’ll use a breadth of data to show how a general mobile user tends to skew younger, more educated and more impulsive, and how you can use your own data to identify trends. Attendees will leave this session with a mobile playbook, empowering them to create a sound mobile strategy for their companies or clients.

The Next Era of SEO: a Guide to SEO Split-Testing

SEO has always been half a science and half an art. We all love to try out new ideas and try to understand what makes the search engines tick, but it has always required a fair amount of guesswork and trying to speculate what the latest news from Google really means. However, with new software libraries and better technologies it is now becoming easier than ever to run proper SEO-focused tests and, for the first time, actually measure the impact that each SEO change has on our site. Tom will talk about some of the experiments he has been running at Distilled, the things he has learned, and how you can start running experiments yourself.

How the Local World is Changing and What that Means for Your Keyword Strategy

Venice, Pigeon, Penguin – much has changed when it comes to local search. Google localizes more and more keywords even without location information. As a result, in some cities /areas you might rank on 5th position while in others you find yourself on position 95 or not even in the TOP 100. Most people are not aware this is happening and base their SEO strategies on keywords and ranking (essentially the right thing to do). But unfortunately they might be optimising based on faulty data. In this session we will show you how to recognize that a keyword has been localized and how you can find keywords that Google doesn’t.

Ways Out of the Internal Link Maze

It’s mostly without intension, but many websites become huge. In most cases, these websites don’t deliver proportional value to the number of sites that are indexed. The reasons vary from internal linking without contemplation, faulty bot controls, and proliferating faceting. As a result, internal links are not weighted accurately, your crawl budget is way off, and the sites that really matter lose power. This is hardly a new problem but it applies to almost every site that is facetted and only very few understand the extent of the problem. In this session we will show you how to get this chaos under control. A special focus will be given to the crawling of big sites, logfile-analysis (where does the bot really pass and where should you use a red pencil), and the masking and automation of internal links (and why this is a terrible idea).

The Rise of Relevancy Factors and Fall of Ranking Factors: Successful Content Marketing

We are facing a massive acceleration of competition, an incredible growth of data volumes, and ever-improving algorithms. As a consequence, the classic rules of why and how online content is successful no longer apply. Organic search results are under massive pressure thanks to AMP, Knowledge Graph, Google Direct Answers and AdWords ads. Marcus Tober goes so far as to declare the end of traditional ranking factors. Instead, we are looking at a rise of Relevancy Factors, which may be completely different, depending on the subject and place. Using many examples, Marcus will explain how search engines evaluate topics differently based on machine learning and the enormous amounts of data and which content is relevant for which user intentions.

Custom Match und Facebook Custom Audience

Google’s Customer Match and Facebook’s Email Custom Audience were launched as game-changers, allowing advertisers to target users based on email addresses. This opened up new possibilities with ad messaging, bidding and landing pages and has been powerful for reactivating dormant buyers and email list unsubscribers for advertisers. And while this is a great opportunity for B2B companies, the legal department won’t let you enter this grey area in most cases. This session explores the challenges of Customer Match and Email Custom Audiences with building lists that meet minimum audience size requirements (particularly for B2C companies in vertical markets) and compares potential volume and value to the more established Remarketing Lists for Search Ads product, to give advertisers an idea of where the best value lies. In addition our lawyer, Dr. Martin Schirmbacher, will assess Custom Match and Facebook Email Custom Audiences from a legal perspective to help you rate the risks involved.

Being less wrong with AdWords Attribution

For the past 15 years digital performance marketing followed one logic: the last click/ cookie wins. If we zoom in on the customer journey in 2017 this logic is flawed: users make multiple searches before they convert; 40% of consumers start their shopping process on mobile, but finish it on desktop or tablet. At the same time getting multitouch and multichannel attribution right is nearly impossible. In this session you will learn about 5 different steps in Google AdWords that you can take today to make better marketing decisions across different screens and touchpoints to ultimately grow your business.

Keywordless Searches: How Your Camera Is The New Search Box

We are visual creatures. We eat first with our eyes, we love with our eyes, we become curious with our eyes. Our technology is adapting to us, to our very human drive to see everything. And that is why the future of search has a very visual component. With the rise of visual intelligence, could we see a niche that finally manages to eliminate the need for keywords? The answer is yes, for many industries such as retail and travel. Our cameras are becoming our search platforms – this means we don’t need to type in a search query. Purna will take this concept to the next level and will discuss the signs we already see today and which actionable steps you should take to get photo-ready and ditch the keywords.

Less Is More: Inbound Marketing For B2B Companies

Websites and landing pages in B2B companies have way too many stakeholders. Sales wants leads, HR wants (different) leads, corporate communications always needs to be involved and social media is needed because everybody else has it as well. This is not effective! B2B and B2C companies need to define the goal of their online presence. Only then you can start on a clear structure with minimal, but highly relevant content. Only then can you start to shift information into the channels where your clients and prospect are already present, and generate and convert relevant inbound traffic.

Excel Framework for Data Driven Content

We all know that high quality, relevant content is key. But there are many different categories of „good“ content. The content that people search for, content that gets shared and liked, and content that generates links etc. These different categories are overlapping but they are not the same. In this session, Nikolaj will show you how to produce data driven content for your website structured by using an excel based framework. A framework that will help you put data from your keyword audits and link audits into play.
