John:

So cool stuff.

2

:

Then this one I'm using, I'm using

Edgemesh for this is going from

3

:

best to worst, but our traffic

isn't going from best to worst.

4

:

It's actually going from worst to best.

5

:

Ah, ha.

6

:

We have a mismatch,

7

:

and it's gonna be based off

this edge mesh, and you guys

8

:

will watch, it'll be really fun.

9

:

We're gonna make a live

update with Edge Mesh.

10

:

There we are.

11

:

So check this out.

12

:

Campaign id.

13

:

All right.

14

:

Lemme get all this.

15

:

One UTM, source.

16

:

Lending page, new user, returning

user, returning purchaser,

17

:

should be good for now.

18

:

So this is the last 30 days of data.

19

:

And what we're going to do is use

the same last 30 days of data.

20

:

We're going to do the products.

21

:

Cool.

22

:

So we're going to grab that campaign ID.

23

:

We're going to filter by this campaign ID.

24

:

So this is my standard shopping campaign

from Google, and this is going to be

25

:

sorting descending by unique users.

26

:

And what we're going to see here is we

have a satin heatless curling set and

27

:

in our standard shopping campaign with

our products starting descending, we

28

:

have the satin heatless curling set.

29

:

So we should see satin, biotin,

shampoo bar, and strength.

30

:

The heatless, biotin,

shampoo bar, and strength.

31

:

good.

32

:

Now watch this.

33

:

Here's what our low t ROAS

strategy is not doing properly.

34

:

You're going to notice a few things.

35

:

This is reversed in the four top products.

36

:

So this is.

37

:

First four are unique users going down.

38

:

However, our conversion rate is at

an angle that is going this way.

39

:

It's actually heading up this way.

40

:

If you look at this kind of bar, the

completed checkout rate is also going up.

41

:

The initiate checkout

is also going up here.

42

:

The engagement is also going up here.

43

:

So what this should be doing

is showing the reverse.

44

:

I should be seeing more users down

here and less as I go up, because

45

:

this is going from best to worst.

46

:

But our traffic isn't

going from best to worst.

47

:

It's actually going from worst to best.

48

:

we have a mismatch between

what we have as clicks versus.

49

:

Point one to 0.

50

:

41 to 0.

51

:

49 0.

52

:

93 and conversion rate.

53

:

Now, are these numbers, right?

54

:

Two thirds of all of our sales

happen in Amazon, the trends

55

:

are at an engagement is correct.

56

:

Active cart user rate is high,

but they check out the least.

57

:

Okay, so is this still working well?

58

:

Yes, this is a flagship product.

59

:

And yes, they buy this

on Amazon most often.

60

:

So this is okay because this is

literally what started their company.

61

:

They mentioned it up here.

62

:

this is where we're actually

starting to see a loss.

63

:

So we need to have a high number

of users Are we looking at pages?

64

:

What are these rows?

65

:

These are products in the Standard

Shopping Campaign engagement on the site.

66

:

so what I did is I filtered this actually

by landing page and then used the

67

:

filter of the Standard Shopping Campaign

ID, which is the:

68

:

spending 150K on in this last 30 days.

69

:

it's like saying, If we're seeing more

engagement here in the first four, but

70

:

we should be spending more water on like

rice water and then nourishing shampoo

71

:

bar, Now this is on a 30 day increment.

72

:

So what we're seeing is this 30

day increments matching what are

73

:

30 day increment is in google.

74

:

if you have a seven day sales cycle,

you don't get this in the last seven

75

:

days until they start to purchase.

76

:

However, We do get an edge

match 70s earlier because

77

:

this is a 15 minute interval.

78

:

It doesn't have the data driven

split attribution between brand

79

:

and blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah that we normally see.

80

:

This is all single click results

off of unique users who are first

81

:

time users, not returning users

and not returning customers.

82

:

This is all cold traffic.

83

:

That's why standard shopping is glorious.

84

:

The first time we get a

return user is down here.

85

:

And what's nice is that same product,

the Satin Helix Curling Sunset Tie Dye,

86

:

which is the Satin Helix Curling Sunset

Tie Dye, when they come back, you can

87

:

see their engagement is amazingly good.

88

:

And then it converts at 1.

89

:

35, 0.

90

:

1.

91

:

So when they return, much,

much, much better results.

92

:

So that's why remarketing this product

and other channels is going to be a good

93

:

idea because now you get a 71 percent

initiate checkout rather than a 56.

94

:

You get a 52 completed rather than a

47 and you get a conversion rate from

95

:

those people that come back at a 1.

96

:

35, not a 0.

97

:

1.

98

:

So it's literally 10 times better

when they come back, which is true,

99

:

which is why we look at product splits

between cold traffic and remarketing.

100

:

Cause when they come back with a 10

times the engagement and conversion

101

:

rate, why not spend one 10th or one

20th or sorry, one 10th or two 10ths

102

:

of your budget remarketing them.

103

:

We can see that when they come back on

their own accord, they convert well.

104

:

So that's what I'm using edge mesh, which

is how much cold traffic, how much warm

105

:

traffic, but because I could care less

about the warm traffic, I just need to

106

:

push cold traffic because I lose two

thirds of the sales stamps on anyway.

107

:

So I can't tell if they're actually

going through, but the trends are

108

:

correct in by saying is these are

wrong metrics, but trending in the

109

:

right direction, it's going to be a

little bit difficult to say, no, the 0.

110

:

1 and the 0.

111

:

9 convert, the same on Amazon.

112

:

I would beg to differ.

113

:

These people are engaging with the site

way more often than they are, on this

114

:

product than they are in this product.

115

:

Is that the same correlation on Amazon?

116

:

Is it the same correlation on meta?

117

:

Is it the same correlation with overall

product sales to your business, depending

118

:

upon the overall traffic to those pages?

119

:

What is the product

media efficiency ratios?

120

:

So cool stuff.

121

:

I'm using edge mesh for
