During AD:TECH 2005 in San Francisco this Spring, SEMphonic announced two new customers that are already implementing MarketScan including Mediasmith, one of the largest independent media agencies; and Marshall Strategies, a design and strategy shop. Both customers have seen an immediate increase in efficiency, with a dramatic reduction in the time and effort during this critical first step in their SEM campaigns.

"Our Fortune 1000 clients were looking for more efficient methods and techniques for their search engine marketing practitioners to use in-house and asked if we could build a comprehensive search engine marketing and competitive measurement tool set," said Gary Angel, president and chief technology officer, SEMphonic. "After servicing these clients for over 8 years, we found that web analytics, which is our heritage, provided the key to the search engine marketing puzzle and are happy to offer two tools for the price of one that can better improve ongoing ROI for our customers.”

"We experienced immediate results for our client, a top real-estate investing intermediary specializing in investments structured for tax advantage, who are an aggressive advertiser on Google. At that time, they were managing a Google AdWords campaign for over a year. When we started using SEMphonic's MarketScan tool we saw an immediate 58% increase in the number of purchased keywords," states Celeste Bishop, president of Bishop Marketing Resources. "In early March 2005, SEMphonic tools administrated the campaign, extensively analyzing the campaign's performance and we implemented specific changes in April with our client's approval.

These changes included bid adjustment, landing-page optimization, ad effectiveness analysis, and optimization." Bishop adds, "The effectiveness of our client's AdWords campaign increased significantly by every indicator as a result of these adjustments. In April we saw a 34% increase in clicks and a dramatic 70% increase in conversions, with only an 18% increase in spending and a 31% decrease in cost per conversion. These improvements in April continue to be sustained currently through May 15, and further optimization is planned to build on these successes."
