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.

-
Movers & Shakers Section: Up to 100 keywords with the largest growth or decline for a selected domain are displayed with their corresponding URLs.
