Time and time again, we’ve seen that a company’s search strategy is more effective when it generates multiple listings for the same query. But it’s not just about quantity of listings. The listings must rank high in each section to encourage searchers to trust a company and click on its links, and be seen often.
We developed a new metric for search marketers to grade their performance in the three key SERP sections: SEM, SEO, and PLA. We called it the Search Marketing Visibility Score™ (SMVS) since it’s a relative measure of your total-page visibility, and incorporates appearances, rank, reach, and frequency. And it scores you for each of your keywords.
Marketers at manufacturing companies face a significant challenge in making sure resellers comply with minimum advertised pricing (MAP) policies. They must police a large group of disparate companies across a wide number of online shopping engines and Product Listing Ads (PLAs), and do it for thousands of constantly changing SKUs.
It’s a huge headache to do manually. Plus, it’s easy to miss an important violation.
Today we wanted to analyze which retailers had the highest Share of Voice for Google Shopping ads.
The Google Shopping Share of Voice Report shows the market share for all competitors. The SOV is calculated by dividing the number of listings for the seller by the total number of Google Shopping listings for a specific keyword or keyword group.

Each year, we see more vendors providing MAP compliance service. We even saw a Harvard Business School research paper that tested different approaches to increasing MAP compliance (spoiler alert: enhanced monitoring and more credible punishments were the most effective at curbing violations).
While you were busy hunting for Easter eggs, retailers were busy hunting for visibility and clicks on their Easter-related search ads.
The best way to see who won the head-to-head battle for search engine visibility is to use our Search Marketing Visibility Score™ (SMVS). This new grade for search marketers measures a company’s search presence across the entire results page (a.k.a. SERP)—Paid, Organic, and Product Listing Ads (PLA)—and adjusts it for a company’s specific competition.

The Search Monitor is excited to add South Korea’s Naver, one of the world’s leading search engines, to its list of monitored media. This list includes Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL, Baidu (China), Yandex (Russia), and the PriceGrabber and ShopZilla shopping engines.
Naver was started in 1999 to provide more relevant Korean-language results for South Korea’s consumers. And 16 years later, it is still the king of the market, with 50% market share compared to Google’s 37% share. After these two giants, the next biggest search engines only have single-digit market share.
