It's with that in mind that our own Christi Olson sat down to discuss her recommendations in our latest on-demand webcast: 7 SEM strategies for unprecedented times. In this webcast, we cover the following strategic approaches that reflect our collective “new normal.”

  • Be more visible
  • Test, and test again
  • Safeguard with RSAs
  • Doublecheck existing ad copy
  • Update your business data
  • Focus on efficiency
  • Sharpen operational work

The second part of the webcast focuses on metrics. Just as some changes to your marketing approach are necessary, it’s time to rethink your approach to measuring results.
