The most visible websites, advertisers and brands on Google UK.
Paid media bidding strategies
We have monitored Google closely to identify who was advertising in the
paid media space, and when they chose to advertise. Our analysis tracks
visibility of advertisers, in terms of bidding frequency, average ad position
and keywords bid on, rather than assessing other performance indicators,
such as sales and cost per acquisition. The data has then been broken down
further to reveal advertising behaviour by individual days of the week and
times of the day.
Day parting strategy
Our research, through working with various brown goods retailers, has found
that most brown goods-related search queries are performed over the weekend,
particularly Sunday, with fewer searches on weekdays. But did advertisers
reflect this day parting in their bidding strategies?

Media
Which brands have the most influence?
Social media provides consumers with a dynamic platform upon which to talk about and engage with brands. Smart brands recognise the
importance of effectively employing this medium in order to inspire positive conversation around their products. The most influential brands
engage on a daily basis with consumers, driving traffic to their online and offline properties.
To gauge their influence, we’ve had a look at the top 15 brands and measured their engagement by monitoring their fans and followers across
various social media platforms, shown in the table below. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube presences were all measured, whilst Klout
scores have been obtained, quantifying the influence of that brand across the social networks analysed.
