Tracking Online Video Analytics
In order to fully understand your online video‘s return on investment, you‘ll want to track its results. Evaluation is an important step that will give you a concrete sense of your online marketing reach and enable you to establish a baseline for future projects.
For comparable figures, measure the number of visitors to your web pages before and after you post videos on them. You should also keep track of how long visitors stay on the site, the number of contact form submissions and the total number of page views. To track the sources of your inquiries, use a URL and phone number unique to your firm in your video, such as www.lawfirm.com/video or 1-800-LAW-FIRM.
There are also free or low-cost analytics tools you can use, such as Google Analytics or WebTrends. These tools will give you a better understanding of what improvements you should make to your site, provide hints on how to refine your online marketing and help you increase web traffic. You‘ll be able to monitor changes and trends in your traffic to help you increase the likelihood of reaching new clients.
Finally, always ask your new clients how they found you. If you find an increasing number mention your video, you‘ll know it‘s successful.
