• What is White Label Analytics ? Everything You Need to Know

  6 février 2024, par Erin

  Reports are a core part of a marketing agency’s offering. It’s how you build trust with clients by highlighting your efforts and demonstrating your results. 

  But all too often, those reports deliver a jarring and incohesive experience. The culprit ? The logos, colours and names of third-party brands your agency uses to deliver work and create the reports. 

  Luckily, there’s a way to make sure your reports elevate your agency’s stature ; not undermine it. 

  By white labelling your tools, you can deliver a clear and cohesive brand experience — one that strengthens the client relationship rather than diminishing it. 

  In this article, we explain what white label analytics tools are, why it’s important to white label your analytics solution and how you can do it using Matomo. 

  What is white label analytics ?

  White labelling is the process of redesigning a product or service using your company’s brand. The term comes from the act of putting a white label on a product that covers the original branding and allows the reseller to personalise the product.

  White label analytics, then, is a way to customise your analytics software with your agency’s logo and colours. When you white label your analytics, you ensure your reports, dashboards and interface provide a consistent and familiar user experience.

  

  The alternative is to provide your clients with an analytics report containing the logo and branding of your analytics software provider — whether that’s Google Analytics, Matomo, or another tool. 

  For some clients, it can create a confusing experience that takes attention away from your agency’s results.

  Why white label analytics is important

  There are plenty of reasons to white label your analytics tool, from improving your client’s experience to generating additional revenue. Here are four of the most important benefits to know :

  

  Improve the client experience

  You want your clients to have a seamless user experience with your agency’s brand, whether they visit your website, log into their client portal, or read one of your reports. 

  By white labelling your analytics platform, you can give your clients a visually appealing experience that stays in line with the rest of your branding and doesn’t leave them confused about who they are interacting with or which company is providing the service they pay for. 

  This is especially important if your agency uses other third-party tools like a client portal or productivity platform that also allows for custom branding. 

  Strengthen client relationships

  When you use white labelling to remove solution providers’ logos, you ensure your brand gets all of the credit for the hard work you’ve been doing. This can strengthen the agency-client relationship and reaffirm the importance of your agency. 

  But, white labelling allows you to tell a better story through your reports and increases the perceived value you offer. There are no other brands, logos, or names to confuse the narrative or detract from your key points — or to stop the client from understanding just how much value you provide. 

  Save time and increase productivity 

  White labelling your analytics platform can save your team a significant amount of time when creating client reports. 

  There’s no need to carefully screenshot graphs to add them to your own branded report. You can simply email clients a report using your white labelled analytics platform, assuring them of a seamlessly branded experience.

  The upshot is that your team can spend more time on billable work, improving the value they deliver to existing clients or opening up capacity to take on even more work. 

  Increase monetisation opportunities

  Whether you are an agency or consultant, white labelling an analytics solution gives you the opportunity to package and sell analytics as part of your own services. This can open up new revenue streams, help you to diversify your income, and reach a wider audience.

  The beauty of a white label offering is that there is no allusion to the company providing the underlying service.

  The most important elements of an analytics platform to white label 

  A white label analytics solution should offer a broad range of customisation options that range from surface-level branding to functional elements like tracking codes. 

  Below we take a look at the top components you should be able to customise with your chosen platform. 

  Logo and Favicon

  The logo is the first thing clients will see when they open up their analytics platform or look at your reports. It should make your services instantly recognisable, which is why it’s so jarring when clients read a report with another company’s brand slapped on every chart. 

  This should be the very first thing you change since it will be on almost every page and report your client views. Don’t stop there, however. If you send clients web-based reports, you’ll also want to change the platform’s favicon — the small logo you see next to your website in a browser. 

  Customising both your logo and favicon is easy with Matomo. 

  Just head to Administration, then General Settings and click Use a custom Logo under Brand settings.

  

  Upload your brand, click Save, and it will automatically populate your brand in place of the Matomo logo across the platform, just like in the image above.

  Brand name

  Most analytics platforms will mention their brand names repeatedly across the site, so it’s important to change these, too.

  Otherwise, you risk clients reading your analytics reports in detail or playing around with your platform’s settings and getting confused when another seemingly unrelated name keeps popping up. 

  Again, this is easily done with Matomo’s White Label plugin. 

  Head to Administration, then General Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find WhiteLabel settings.

  Enter your brand or product name in the first box and click Save. 

  

  Just like your logo, this will replace every instance of Matomo’s brand name with your own.

  Brand colours

  Changing your analytics platform’s colours to match your own is almost as important as swapping out the logo. 

  Failure to do so could mean the charts and graphs you add to your client reports could cause confusion. 

  You can also use Matomo’s WhiteLabel settings to change the platform’s background and font colours. 

  Just enter a new header background and font colour using hexadecimal values.

  

  This change will also apply to automated email reports. 

  Custom tracking

  Tracking requests and links are an overlooked element of analytics when it comes to white labelling. Most people wouldn’t think twice about them, but they are an easy way for someone in the know to identify which platform you are using. 

  With Matomo’s White Label plugin, it’s possible to customise every request Matomo makes to your clients’ websites. 

  If left unbranded, tracking requests contain the following references : matomo.js and matomo.php. 

  By clicking the Whitelabel tracking endpoint box on the WhiteLabel settings page, those references will be replaced with js/tracker.js and js/tracker.php

  You’ll need to update your tracking code to reflect these changes, otherwise, requests will still contain Matomo branding.

  Links

  Finally, you’ll want to remove any links to any additional content offered by the analytics company. These are usually included to improve the user experience, but they are best removed if you are letting clients access your platform. 

  With Matomo, you can remove all links by clicking the relevant box in WhiteLabel settings. 

  You can also use the Show Marketplace only to Super Users checkbox to limit the visibility of Matomo’s Marketplace to everyone bar Super Users.

  Can you white label Google Analytics ?

  In a word : no. 

  Google Analytics might be the most popular analytics platform, but it comes up short if you want to customise its appearance. 

  This can be a particular problem for agencies that need to stand out from competitors offering the same generic reports. You can add more context, detail and graphs to your analytics reports, of course. But you’ll never be able to create completely custom, brand-cohesive reports using Google Analytics. 

  3 analytics platforms you can white label

  While you can’t white label Google Analytics, there are several web analytics providers that do offer a white labelling service. Here are three of the best :

  Matomo

  As you’ve already seen, Matomo is the ideal web analytics platform if you want to let your own brand shine through. Matomo lets you personalise the entire dashboard and all of your reports. That includes :

  • Adding your brand logo and favicon
  • Changing the font and background colours 
  • Removing third-party links
  • Tracking using custom URLs 
  • Develop your own custom theme

  Matomo offers a 21-day free trial (no credit card required). If you want to get remove the Matomo branding, you need the White Label plugin, which starts at just $179 per year after a free trial.

  Try Matomo for Free

  Get the web insights you need, without compromising data accuracy.

  Start for free

  No credit card required

  Clicky

  Clicky is a simple, privacy-focused web analytics platform with a white label offering. Like Matomo, you can add your logo and change the platform’s colours. 

  Clicky offers a seven-day free trial and charges a $99 setup fee, with prices starting from $49 and rising to $399. 

  Plausible 

  Plausible is another privacy-focused Google Analytics alternative that offers white labelling. The difference here is that it’s pretty complex to set up. 

  Rather than customising Plausible’s platform, for instance, you need to embed its dashboard into your own user interface. If you want to create your own custom dashboard, you’ll need to use an API. 

  Plausible offers a 30-day free trial.

  Leverage white label analytics today with Matomo

  Don’t put up with confusing unbranded clients a moment longer. White label your analytics platform so the next time you sit down to share insights with your clients, they’ll only see one brand : yours.

  Matomo makes it quick and easy to customise the look of your analytics platform and all of the reports you generate. If you already use Matomo, try the White Label plugin free for 30 days.

  If not, try Matomo with a free 21-day trial. No credit card required.

• B2B Marketing Attribution Guide : How to Master It in 2024

  21 mai 2024, par Erin

  The last thing you want is to invest your advertising dollars in channels, campaigns and ads that don’t work. But B2B marketing attribution — figuring out which marketing efforts drive revenue — is far from easy.

  With longer sales funnels and multiple people from the same company involved in the same sales process, B2B (business-to-business) is a different ballgame from B2C (business-to-consumer) marketing.

  In this guide, we break down what B2B marketing attribution is, how it’s different, which tools you can use to set it up and the best practices.

  What is B2B marketing attribution ?

  Marketing attribution in B2B companies is about figuring out where your high-value leads come from — nailing down long customer journeys across many different touchpoints.

  

  The goal is to determine which campaigns and content contributed to various parts of the customer journey. It’s a complex process that needs a reliable, privacy-focused web analytics tool and a CRM that integrates with it.

  This process significantly differs from traditional marketing attribution, where you focus more on short sales cycles from individual customers. With multiple contributing decision makers, B2B attribution requires more robust systems.

  What makes marketing attribution different for B2B ?

  The key differences between B2B and B2C marketing attribution are a longer sales funnel and more people involved in the sales process.

  The B2B sales funnel is significantly longer and more complex

  The typical B2C sales funnel is often broken down into four simple stages :

  1. Awareness : when a prospect first finds out about your product or brand
  2. Interest : where a prospect starts to learn about the benefits of your product
  3. Desire : when a prospect understands that they need your product
  4. Action : the actual process of closing the sale

  Even the most simplified B2B sales funnel includes several key stages.

  

  Here’s a brief overview of each :

  1. Awareness : Buyers recognise they have a problem and start looking for solutions. Stand out with blog posts, social media updates, ebooks and whitepapers.
  2. Consideration : Buyers are aware of your company and are comparing options. Provide product demos, webinars and case studies to address their concerns and build trust.
  3. Conversion : Buyers have chosen your product or company. Offer live demos, customer service, case studies and testimonials to finalise the purchase.
  4. Loyalty : Buyers have made a purchase and are now customers. Nurture relationships with thank you emails, follow-ups, how-tos, reward programs and surveys to encourage repeat business.
  5. Advocacy : Loyal customers become advocates, promoting your brand to others. Encourage this with surveys, testimonial requests and a referral program.

  A longer sales cycle typically involves not only more touchpoints but also extended decision-making processes.

  More teams are involved in the marketing and sales process

  The last differentiation in B2B attribution is the number of people involved. Instead of clear-cut sales and marketing teams, revenue teams are becoming more common.

  They include all go-to-market teams like sales, marketing, customer success and customer support. In B2B sales, long-term customer relationships can be incredibly valuable. As such, the focus shifts away from new customer acquisition alone.

  For example, you can also track and optimise your onboarding process. Marketing gets involved in post-sale efforts to boost loyalty. Sales reps follow up with customer success to get new sales angles and insights. Customer support insights drive future product development.

  Everyone works together to meet high-level company goals.

  The next section will explore how to set up an attribution system.

  How to find the right mix of B2B marketing attribution tools

  For most B2B marketing teams, the main struggle with attribution is not with the strategy but with creating a reliable system that gives them the data points they need to implement that strategy.

  We’ll outline one approach you can take to achieve this without a million-dollar budget or internal data science team.

  Use website analytics to track touchpoints

  The first thing you want to do is install a reliable website analytics solution on your website. 

  Once you’ve got your analytics in place, use campaign tracking parameters to track touchpoints from external campaigns like email newsletters, social media ads, review sites (like Capterra) and third-party partner campaigns.

  This way, you get a clear picture of which sources are driving traffic and conversions, helping you improve your marketing strategies.

  With analytics installed, you can track the referring sources of visits, engagement and conversion events. A robust solution like Matomo tracks everything from traffic sources, marketing attribution and visitor counts to behavioural analytics, like clicks, scrolling patterns and form interactions on your site.

  Marketing attribution will give you a cohesive view of which traffic sources and campaigns drive conversions and revenue over long periods. With Matomo’s marketing attribution feature, you can even use different marketing attribution models to compare results :

  

  For example, in a single report, you can compare the last interaction, first interaction and linear (three common marketing attribution models). 

  In total, Matomo has 6 available attribution models to choose from :

  1. First interaction
  2. Last interaction
  3. Last non-direct 
  4. Linear
  5. Position based
  6. Time decay 

  These additional attribution models are crucial for B2B sites. While other web analytics solutions often limit to last-click attribution, this model isn’t optimal for B2B with extended sales cycles.

  Use a CRM to integrate customer data from multiple sources

  Use your CRM software to integrate customer data from multiple sources. This will give you the ability to get meaningful B2B marketing insights. For example, you can get company-level insights so you can view conversion information by company, not just by person.

  Done effectively, you can close the loop back to analytics data by integrating data from multiple teams and platforms. 

  Implement self-reported attribution

  To further enhance the data, add qualifying questions in the lead signup process to create a hybrid attribution model. This is also known as self-reported attribution.

  

  Your web analytics platform won’t always be able to track the source of certain visits — for instance, “dark social” or peer-to-peer sharing, where links are shared privately and are not easily traceable by analytics tools.

  Doing self-reported attribution is crucial for getting a holistic image of your customer journey. 

  However, self-reported attribution isn’t foolproof ; users may click randomly or inaccurately recall where they first heard about you. So it’s essential to blend this data with your analytics to gain a more accurate understanding.

  Best practices for handling B2B prospect data in a privacy-sensitive world 

  Lastly, it’s important to respect your prospects’ privacy and comply with privacy regulations when conducting B2B marketing attribution.

  Privacy regulations and their enforcement are rapidly gaining momentum around the globe. Meta recently received a record GDPR fine of €1.2 billion for insufficient privacy measures when handling user data by the Irish Data Protection Agency.

  If you don’t want to risk major fines (or customers feeling betrayed), you shouldn’t follow in the same footsteps.

  Switch to a privacy-friendly web analytics

  Instead of using a controversial solution like Google Analytics, use a privacy-friendly web analytics solution like Matomo, Fathom or Plausible. 

  These alternatives not only ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR but also provide peace of mind amid the uncertain relationship between Google and GDPR. Google Analytics has faced bans in recent years, raising concerns about the future of the solution.

  While organisations governed by GDPR can currently use Google Analytics, there’s no guarantee of its continued availability.

  Make the switch to privacy-friendly web analytics to avoid potential fines and disruptive rulings that could force you to change platforms urgently. Such disruptions can be catastrophic for marketing teams heavily reliant on web analytics for tracking campaigns, business goals and marketing efforts.

  Improve your B2B marketing attribution with Matomo

  Matomo’s privacy-by-design architecture makes it the perfect analytics platform for the modern B2B marketer. Matomo enables you to meet even the strictest privacy regulations.

  At the same time, through campaign tracking URLs, marketing attribution, integrations and our API, you can track the results of various marketing channels and campaigns effectively. We help you understand the impact of each dollar of your marketing budget.

• What Is Ethical SEO & Why Does It Matter ?

  7 mai 2024, par Erin

  Do you want to generate more revenue ?

  Then, you need to ensure you have a steady stream of traffic flowing to your site.

  Search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo are powerful mediums you can use to scale your business.

  Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process of creating search engine-friendly content to draw in traffic to your website. But, if you aren’t careful, you could be crossing the line of ethical SEO into unethical SEO.

  In this article, we break down what ethical SEO is, why it’s important in business and how you can implement effective SEO into your business while remaining ethical.

  Let’s begin.

  What is ethical SEO ?

  Since the early days of the internet and search engines, business owners and marketers have tried using all kinds of SEO tactics to rank atop the search engines for relevant keywords.

  The problem ?

  Some of these practices are ethical, while others aren’t.

  What exactly is ethical SEO ?

  It’s the practice of optimising your website’s rankings in search engines by following search engine guidelines and prioritising user experience.

  

  Ethical SEO is also referred to as “white hat SEO.”

  On the other hand, businesses that break search engine rules and guidelines to “hack” their way to the top with faulty and questionable practices use unethical SEO, or “black hat SEO.”

  Ethical SEO aims to achieve higher rankings in search engines through sustainable, legitimate and fair methods.

  Black hat, or unethical SEO, aims to manipulate or “game” the system with deceptive strategies to bypass the search engine’s guidelines to rank higher.

  The two core branches of ethical SEO include :

  1. Strategies that align with search engine guidelines.
  2. Accessibility to broad audiences.

  Some examples of ethical SEO principles include :

  • Natural link building
  • Compliance with search engine guidelines
  • Establishing great user experiences
  • Creating reader-focused content

  By sticking to the right guidelines and implementing proper SEO practices, businesses can establish ethical SEO to generate more traffic and grow their brands.

  8 ethical SEO practices to implement

  If you want to grow your organic search traffic, then there’s no doubt you’ll need to have some SEO knowledge.

  While there are dozens of ways to “game” SEO, it’s best to stick to proven, ethical SEO techniques to improve your rankings.

  Stick to these best practices to increase your rankings in the search engine results pages (SERPs), increase organic traffic and improve your website conversions.

  

  1. Crafting high-quality content

  The most important piece of any ethical SEO strategy is content.

  Forget about rankings, keywords and links for a second.

  Step back and think about why people go to Google, Bing and Yahoo in the first place.

  They’re there looking for information. They have a question they need answered. That’s where you can come in and give them the answer they want. 

  How ? In the form of content.

  The best long-term ethical SEO strategy is to create the highest-quality content possible. Crafting high-quality content should be where you focus 90% of your SEO efforts.

  2. Following search engine guidelines

  Once you’ve got a solid content creation strategy, where you’re producing in-depth, quality content, you need to ensure you’re following the guidelines and rules put in place by the major search engines.

  This means you need to stay compliant with the best practices and guidelines laid out by the top search engines.

  If you fail to follow these rules, you could be penalised, your content could be downgraded or removed from search engines, and you could even have your entire website flagged, impacting your entire organic search traffic from your site.

  You need to ensure you align with the guidelines so you’re set up for long-term success with your SEO.

  3. Conducting keyword research and optimisation

  Now that we’ve covered content and guidelines, let’s talk about the technical stuff, starting with keywords.

  In the early days of SEO (late 90s), just about anyone could rank a web page high by stuffing keywords all over the page.

  While those black hat techniques used to work to “game” the system, it doesn’t work like that anymore. Google and other major search engines have much more advanced algorithms that can detect keyword stuffing and manipulation.

  Keywords are still a major part of a successful SEO strategy. You can ethically incorporate keywords into your content (and you should) if you want to rank higher. 

  Your main goal with your content is to match it with the search intent. So, incorporating keywords should come naturally throughout your content. If you try to stuff in unnecessary keywords or use spammy techniques, you may not even rank at all and could harm your website’s rankings.

  4. Incorporating natural link building

  After you’ve covered content and keywords, it’s time to dive into links. Backlinks are any links that point back to your website from another website.

  These are a crucial part of the SEO pie. Without them, it’s hard to rank high on Google. They work well because they tell Google your web page or website has authority on a subject matter.

  But you could be penalised if you try to manipulate backlinks by purchasing them or spamming them from other websites.

  Instead, you should aim to draw in natural backlinks by creating content that attracts them.

  How ? There are several options :

  • Content marketing
  • Email outreach
  • Brand mentions
  • Public relations
  • Ethical guest posting

  Get involved in other people’s communities. Get on podcasts. Write guest posts. Connect with other brands. Provide value in your niche and create content worth linking to.

  5. Respecting the intellectual property of other brands

  Content creation is moving at lightspeed in the creator economy and social media era. For better or for worse, content is going viral every day. People share content, place their spin on it, revise it, optimise it, and spread it around the internet.

  Unfortunately, this means the content is sometimes shared without the owner’s permission. Content is one form of intellectual property (IP). 

  If you share copyrighted material, you could face legal consequences.

  6. Ensuring transparency

  Transparency is one of the pillars of ethical marketing.

  If you’re running the SEO in your company or an agency, you should always explain the SEO strategies and tactics you’re implementing to your stakeholders.

  It’s best to lean on transparency and honesty to ensure your team knows you’re running operations ethically.

  7. Implementing a great user experience

  The final pillar of ethical SEO practices is offering a great user experience on your website.

  Major search engines like Google are favouring user experience more and more every year. This means knowing how to track and analyse website metrics like page load times, time on page, pageviews, media plays and event tracking.

  8. Use an ethical web analytics solution

  Last but certainly not least. Tracking your website visitors ethically is key to maintaining SEO ethics.

  You can do this by using an ethical web analytics solution like Matomo, Plausible or Fathom. All three are committed to respecting user privacy and offer ethical tracking of visitors.

  We’re a bit biassed towards Matomo, of course, but for good reasons.

  Matomo offers accurate, unsampled data along with advanced features like heatmaps, session recording, and A/B testing. These features enhance user experience and support ethical SEO practices by providing insights into user behaviour, helping optimise content.

  6 unethical SEO practices to avoid

  Now that we’ve covered the ethical SEO best practices let’s talk about what kind of unethical SEO practices you want to avoid.

  Remember, SEO isn’t as easy to manipulate as it once was 20 years ago.

  Algorithms are much more sophisticated now, and search engines are getting better at detecting fraudulent, scammy or unethical SEO practices every year.

  Avoid these eight unethical SEO practices to ensure you can rank high in the long term :

  

  1. Keyword stuffing

  Keyword stuffing is probably the most common unethical SEO practice. This is where someone deliberately stuffs keywords onto a page to manipulate the search engines to rank a web page higher.

  Where this is unethical isn’t always easy to detect, but in some cases, it is. It comes down to whether it’s relevant and natural or intentionally stuffing.

  2. Cloaking

  Cloaking is another unethical SEO practice where someone manipulates the information search engines see on their website.

  For example, someone may show search engines one web page on their website, but when someone clicks on it in Google, they can direct someone to a completely different page. They do this by detecting the incoming request from the user agent and presenting different content.

  3. Deceiving functionality

  Another way companies are unethically implementing SEO tactics is by deceiving people with misleading information. For example, a website may claim to provide a free resource or directory but may intentionally lead visitors to paid products.

  4. Fraudulent redirects

  Another way to deceive or mislead searchers is by creating fraudulent redirects. A redirect is a way to take someone to a different web page when they click on another one. Redirects can be useful if a page is broken or outdated. However, they can be used to deceptively take someone to a website they didn’t intend to view.

  5. Negative SEO

  Negative SEO is the intentional attempt to harm a competitor’s search engine rankings through unethical tactics.

  These tactics include duplicating their content or generating spammy links by creating low quality or irrelevant backlinks to their site.

  6. Hidden text

  Placing hidden text on a website typically has one purpose : keyword stuffing.

  Instead of making it visible to users reading the content, websites will place invisible text or text that’s hard to read on a website to try to rank the content higher and manipulate the search engines.

  3 reasons you need to implement ethical SEO

  So, why should you ensure you only implement ethical SEO in your organic traffic strategy ?

  It’s not just about what’s morally right or wrong. Implementing ethical SEO is the smartest long-term marketing strategy :

  1. Better long-term SEO

  Search engine optimisation is about implementing the “right” tactics to get your website to rank higher.

  The funny thing is many people are trying to get quick fixes by manipulating search engines to see results now.

  However, the ones who implement shady tactics and “hacks” to game the system almost always end up losing their rankings in the long term. 

  The best long-term SEO strategy is to do things ethically. Create content that helps people. Make higher quality content than your competitors. If you do those two things right, you’ll have better search traffic for years.

  2. Great brand reputation

  Not only is ethical SEO a great way to get long-term results, but it’s also a good way to maintain a solid brand reputation.

  Reputation management is a crucial aspect of SEO. All it takes is one bad incident, and your SEO could be negatively impacted.

  3. Lower chance of penalties

  If you play by the rules, you have a lower risk of being penalised by Google.

  The reality is that Google owns the search engine, not you. While we can benefit from the traffic generation of major search engines, you could lose all your rankings if you break their guidelines.

  Track SEO data ethically with Matomo

  Ethical SEO is all about :

  • Serving your audience
  • Getting better traffic in the long run

  If you fail to follow ethical SEO practices, you could be de-ranked or have your reputation on the line.

  However, if you implement ethical SEO, you could reap the rewards of a sustainable marketing strategy that helps you grow your traffic correctly and increase conversions in the long term.

  If you’re ready to start implementing ethical SEO, you need to ensure you depend on an ethical web analytics solution like Matomo.
