Summary
Imagine if someone just handed you a list of every single tool you need to effectively measure the performance of your marketing.
On today’s episode, co-hosts Ralph Burns and Kasim Aslam sit down once again with Chris Mercer, founder of MeasurementMarketing.io. This time he’s got a whole tech stack he’s going to share with us from start to finish, the whole kit and caboodle. Seriously, he’s giving away the farm here. It’s easy to over-complicate things, Mercer says. The skill is to make things simple. How do we keep it simple? Every measurement system has to do 3 things: 1.) Collect information to get answers to questions. 2.) Store that information to access later. And 3.) Build reports on that data. If you don’t know how to measure, all the tools in the world won’t help you. “Measurement is how we listen,” he says. “Marketing is how we respond.”
Listen in as he walks us through the powerful skill of measurement—simple step by simple step.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to figure out the true traffic sources of your ROAS (when everybody’s claiming it)
- 3 free (and powerful) Google tools (and how/when to use them)

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, Ralph here with something that could seriously upgrade your top of funnel ad game. |
| 0:06.8 | If you've been a PT listener for any period of time, you know that we talk about top of funnel |
| 0:10.5 | all the time and how challenging it is for you to get quality top of funnel clients or leads |
| 0:17.9 | or customers and then convert them typically at bottom of funnel. |
| 0:22.9 | Well, TV advertising is one of those areas that we haven't discussed here on PT all that much. |
| 0:29.4 | But our friends over at AdCritter have figured this stuff out. |
| 0:33.2 | They do connect to TV ads so you can be everywhere without spending millions on Super Bowl ads, |
| 0:39.9 | but they pair it with display retargeting. So you're hitting the audiences with a complete approach. |
| 0:46.4 | You reach them, then you remind them, and then you collect the revenue. It's a strategy |
| 0:52.1 | designed to deliver, and let me tell you, it really |
| 0:55.6 | works. We're testing this at Tier 11, and so far, the results have been very impressive. Now, |
| 1:01.6 | with AdCritter, creating custom audiences are so easy. You don't need to reformat files. You don't |
| 1:07.3 | need to mess around with complex spreadsheets. You just upload any file in any format and you're ready to go. |
| 1:13.0 | And the match rate is awesome. |
| 1:15.1 | They make it easy to connect with the right people, |
| 1:17.4 | the actual people that have interacted with your ads in the past, |
| 1:20.7 | and then allow them to naturally flow through your funnel |
| 1:23.7 | so you can convert them at bottom of funnel. |
| 1:26.9 | Now, the folks at AdCriter, we twisted |
| 1:28.8 | their arm to get us a great deal for you, the PT listener. They are offering a special deal for y'all, |
| 1:35.1 | and that is you can get a $500 campaign credit, meaning $500 in free money to test out the platform |
| 1:41.9 | or dollar for dollar matching on any TV campaign up to five grand. |
