Leading SEO Analytics Tool Helps New Client Become.com Provide Online Consumers Better Price Information, Faster


NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - October 4, 2010) -  Search Marketing Expo - SMX East Booth # 324 -- Insight into consumers' Facebook responses and weekly analysis of real-time domain data -- including a top 100 winners and losers list of domain sites -- are two key new capabilities in Searchmetrics Suite 5.8 from Searchmetrics, the world leader in search analytics software, which today announced the U.S. debut of this newest version of its cloud-based search analytics software at SMX East in NYC. Searchmetrics goes beyond traditional SEO tools to provide competitive insights and actionable recommendations for targeting SEO investments with predictable ROI.

In Searchmetrics Suite's Social Media Performance Module, online marketers can view a Facebook activity index that aggregates and tracks the amount of "comments, shares and likes" in Facebook for a specific domain. The Quick Analysis feature, part of Searchmetrics' Performance Module, can help companies track changes in their chosen domains with up-to-date weekly data vs. monthly views.

"The latest Searchmetrics Suite 5.8 features -- particularly the Facebook response rankings in our Social Media Performance function, as well as the Quick Analysis component -- have been extremely well received by our customers for the deeper and more relevant competitive data they gain," said Dr. Horst Joepen, CEO, Searchmetrics. "The presentation of this information in clear graphic form enables online marketers to get at the information they need when they need it for a greater competitive advantage and unprecedented insight into their SEO campaigns."

Key Features Include:

  • Facebook in Social Media Performance: Facebook results are now integrated into the Searchmetrics Suite as the newest addition to views of Social Media Performance in Domain Details. Total "shares, comments and likes" for a specified domain are displayed in graph format. The Facebook features broaden the current capabilities for views of other social media, including Technorati, Yigg, Digg and Mister Wong.

  • Quick Analysis: In the new Quick Analysis feature, a Potentials section displays up to 250 keywords with the greatest potential for a given domain, in addition to its popularity, trends and search volume. Real-time weekly rankings, previously shown as monthly views, are shown from the past 12 months

  • Weekly Overview of Winners and Losers: A valuable Weekly Overview of Winners and Losers shares the top 100 domains with the greatest positive or negative position changes (absolute and relative) based on the Performance Index. For a precise weekly assessment of keywords, or SERP spreading, company marketers can follow the distribution and variations of the top 100 Google results, both organic and paid, on simple-to-view tabs.

  • Movers & Shakers Section: Up to 100 keywords with the largest growth or decline for a selected domain are displayed with their corresponding URLs. Companies can access such information as search volumes and SDVR (Searchmetrics Domain Ranking Value) in order to see variations in keyword positions over a specific timeframe.

  • Interesting Rankings Section: Displays an overview of noteworthy keywords with high search volumes and traffic potential for the top 30 positions. Included in the overview are Organic, Paid, Images, Shopping, Video, Maps and News headings for at-a-glance views.

  • Domain Comparison: Enables Searchmetrics Suite users to compare up to four domains side-by-side in easy-to-read graphs. In addition to SERP Spreading, traffic indexes for the previous 12 months and for each domain are clearly displayed. Traffic index information includes Performance Index, Organic Index, and Paid Index, among others.
