Default ROI Tracking in PPC Campaigns

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to find a software solution to help me monitor my PPC campaigns and provide a better service to my clients.

I manage campaigns in Google, Yahooo and soon MSN and want to find a software package that will enable me to do the following:

* View and create reports for all search engines at once as well as being able to look at each engine's reports individually.

* See which keywords are resulting in conversions e.g. the search term 'red widgets' resulted in 100 visits and 5 sales in one month.

* View the cost for conversions and ROI. e.g. 'red widgets' cost £0.25 per click so that's £25 per month. So the 5 sales cost £25 in total.

* Have different goals for conversion e.g. a sale, a contact form filled out, a contact page visited etc.

* Create reports for whichever date range I choose

* See what the click through rate is and where I need to change titles and descriptions.

Does anyone know of any good packages out there?

The campaigns aren't huge and range in budget from £100 to £3000 per month. I am prepared to buy the software for each individual client if necessary.

Ideally I don't want anything visible on the sites.

Thanks in advance.

Laura

Have you tried the conversion tracking in Google and Yahoo/Oveture themselves?

Hi Incrediblehelp

I have tried the Overture one but have been put off the Google one as it requires the addition of an icon on the conversion page (i think).

Ideally I was hoping to have all the search engines viewable at once with the option to drill down into the individual engines if necessary.

I am road-testing Google Analytics for this at the moment but I think I am only getting the conversion stats for Google and not Overture (perhaps a gaffe during set-up on my part). It's only been 1 day so I'm going to leave it a bit.

After searching on Google I've come across Axandra's ROI optimiser and AdWatcher. Does anyone know if these are any good or if there are any that I'm missing?

Thanks
