and Big Data to find and acquire
new customers and new revenues
everyday
Nick Stone, Director of Account Management

2. Back to Basics
Did You Know..
85% of all online consumers start their investigation using a search engine
(source: Jupiter Research)
94% of traffic from search engines comes from the organic results,
not Pay Per Click.
(source: eConsultancy)
75% of search engine users never scroll past the first page of results.
(Source: Seventh WWW User Survey – Georgia Institute of Technology)
Users looking for products on-line are far more likely to type the product name
into a search engine (28%) rather than go into an engine’s “shopping” channel
(5%) or click on banner ads (4%)

4. Non-Brand vs. Branded Traffic
YourAmigo data shows most search phrases are nonbranded.The percentage of non-branded means that most
customers are new visitors and turn into new aquisitions.

5. Volume, Variety & Velocity of Data
How many customers out there and search phrases that you will never know
about or see?
How to un-tap the huge potential of unmatched search terms?
-70% of all searches
- You can't do it manually or without tools.
The opportunity is encapsulated in the term Big Data. If you can capture this data, sort
and manage it, and then process that data quickly into highly optimised content.
