About Greenlight
Introduction
Research shows that when people look to purchase white goods they go to a
search engine and more often than not they go to Google, the search engine used
for 90% of all UK searches. So when people searched on Google in May what did
they type — and who were they most likely to see in their searches, and hence buy
with or through?
This report answers those questions by profiling search behaviour in the white
goods sector. We have assessed which brands, aggregators and review sites were
the most visible in both natural and paid search results (and hence had the greatest
share of consideration) when UK-based searchers went to Google in May to look
for and buy white goods.
This sector report is based on search volumes for May 2010 data.
How the report was created
We have used industry data to classify 790 of the most popular search terms that consumers use to find white
goods and totalled the number of times each one was used. This gives an indication of the size of audience and
a profile of how Google users went about their search for white goods products in May.
For natural search we then analysed the natural search rankings on Google to see which websites and brands
were positioned on page one for each term. That way, we were able to build up an aggregate view of the most
commonly appearing and prominent websites, as well as the respective size of the audience they were reaching
as a result of their having that keyword-specific visibility.
For paid search we monitored the advertisers appearing in the sponsored links for the top 90 of the 790 terms
analysed. Data was retrieved from Google regularly on a daily basis during May to ensure a fair assessment of
the paid search space, and to take into account the ad rotation system employed by Google.
This data was then collated, and league tables of the most visible websites in both natural and paid search
created for the white goods sector.
On the following pages you will find market view data for the white goods industry as a whole, as well as by
segment; dishwasher and laundry products, cooking products and refrigeration products.
Total audience size (6.1 million searches — May 2010)
Approximately how many searches were performed in May using terms
relating to white goods?
We have considered every search term and aggregated the number of times
each one was used in March, April and May to give an indication of the number
of searches.
There were 6.1 million searches
performed in May 2010 for
white goods-related keywords.
Although this was a 17% decrease

Paid search bidding strategies
We have monitored Google closely to identify who was advertising in the
paid search space, and when they chose to advertise. 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 white goods retailers, has
found that most white 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?

Which brands interacted well?
People constantly engage in conversation about brands and products,
whether it is at home, at work or socializing with friends. The internet has
changed the role, pace and place of conversations and Facebook and Twitter
have become two of the most powerful outlets. These sites have become the
perfect medium for consumers and commentators to elevate discussions,
amplify views and give brands both positive and negative visibility.
To gauge social media interaction with brands, we have monitored the
Facebook and Twitter accounts of the top 15 brands in our integrated league
table (see page 19) in order to assess how many ‘fans’ and ‘followers’ each
has. The table below ranks brands based on the cumulative value of their
‘fans’ and ‘followers’, a score which we have termed Social Media Popularity
Index (SMPI). It further analyses the proactivity of brands by considering the
number of ‘posts’ and ‘tweets’ brands produced for consumers to interact
with in May.
Wikipedia was the most followed
brand in social media, with a
combined following of 372,648 on
Facebook and Twitter, despite its
lack of interaction.
Interestingly, some brands
received negative consumer
commentary, such as Dixons and
Currys, which perhaps affected
their ability to interact.
By contrast, some other brands,
particularly AppliancesOnline,

Natural search: improve your website's position
Certain factors can affect your position in natural search results. The white
goods sector is notoriously competitive with competition up, down and
across the supply chain, which is partly aided by the ease with which data and
systems can be scraped, integrated, white-labelled and syndicated. This has
resulted in a market where brands are competing with their direct competitors
and agents, as well as having all their affiliates in tow. Consequently, rankings
are difficult to achieve.
Comprehensive ranking is based
on search engines being able to
access relevant content across
your website.
Links play a significant role in

clutter and ascend rankings.
Content
The best-performing sites have
Many of the leading sites contain rich content on all the topics that surround
the popular keywords and have made this content accessible to search engine
spiders — enabling them to index and include it in their searchable systems.
But while quality white goods-related content is a foundation to build on, it
can only be part of the equation since it is readily available and therefore
used by a large number of sites. As such, the search engines need a further
differentiator to help them sort through the sheer volume of white goodsrelated sites available. That differentiator is link equity.
all invested heavily in their
Link equity
Search engines use links as the primary way to determine the credibility of
websites because links from third-party websites are considered similar to
votes. And in the eyes of search engines these links encode a considerable
amount of latent and unbiased human judgement about the quality of the
linked-to website. This popularity-based indicator is exactly what search
engines need in order to cut through the noise of brand websites’ selfoptimised content, and ascertain the true worth of a site. The top ranking
sites pursue these kinds of strategies aggressively and comprehensively at a
keyword level, hence their considerable success.
Your site
In order for your site to perform better, considerable investment should be
made into improving the quality, depth and breadth of content around the
keyword topics appraised here. You should ensure your site is accessible to
search engines. In addition, you should focus on developing linking strategies
around each product to rapidly and dramatically improve the quantity and
quality of links from third-party websites, and point to the relevant pages
within your own website.

Paid search: improve your visibility and efficiency
Certain factors can affect your position in paid search. Attaining a low
cost-per-click and an affordable cost-per-sale has become a key challenge in
today’s marketplace.
Consider seasonal trends and
mini campaigns, along with your
everyday keywords. Short spurts
Characteristics of the leading advertisers
From the data recorded, leading advertisers excel in two key areas: breadth
and depth of keywords and unique ad copy. Although we cannot draw exact
conclusions on bidding strategy, it is possible that these leading advertisers
are also using a bid management tool of some type to assist in the budget and
ROI management of their campaign activity.

Your keyword landscape should mirror the products and services provided,

testing as many ad copy versions
Before jumping straight into a paid search campaign, our advice is to plan
out your keyword strategy. Consider it almost as a mind map of a customer’s
search journey, allowing you to consider every keyword permutation available
to you as a brand.
as possible.
Google’s quality score is now
illustrated in the AdWords
system, allowing you to see
exactly what score you have.
Ad copy
Ad copy is seen as the ‘shop window’ opportunity in paid search and therefore
aligning the message with the keyword and differentiating yourself from your
competitors is imperative. As well as being seen as a sales opportunity, ad
copy is also a branding opportunity and therefore projecting an accurate and
positive message about your brand and products is essential.
Relevancy and quality/index score
Behind every score ‘relevancy’ is the key driver — your keywords, campaigns,
ad groups, ad copy and landing pages must all reflect your products and
services. When building a search strategy, ensure you create a campaign that
focuses on relevancy throughout; this will lead to a high score, thus assisting
in lowering your overall and individual cost-per-click.
Bid and campaign management
PPC needs to be managed effectively and to an optimal level. As campaigns
become larger and more complex they become difficult to manage. Bid and
campaign management technologies have become the only option in the face
of an increasingly competitive marketplace. Exploiting the long tail without
sacrificing quality for quantity is also a challenge, especially when managing
copy with pricing and specific products.

Social media: keep tabs on your fans, friends and followers
In a world where the community holds the power, how do you as a brand
owner take part in a way that is beneficial to your brand awareness,
customer loyalty, reputation and general brand wellbeing? Greenlight’s
objective-orientated approach to Social Media Optimisation (SMO) does
just that, providing a flexible framework to deliver social media success
regardless of the brand or its aspirations — everything from understanding
consumer sentiment, to driving brand awareness, brand loyalty and
even acquisitions.
Specific targeting is extremely
important in the success and
cost effectiveness of your social
media campaign.
The best performing social
media campaigns utilise a variety
Research your audience
Not all social networking sites are the same — if you are trying to get into
conversations about your bridal shower gift site, then a site where the
dominant stories are about technology and gadgets is not for you. It is rare to
find a social media site specifying its main demographic, so this can be more
difficult than it looks.
of formats and platforms and

their audience.
URLs and bookmarking
Engagement is key to building
Simple, user-friendly URLs are not only more memorable, but they are
more likely to be used in status updates and conversations. Make it easy
to ‘save’ your pages — use links, icons with call to action terms i.e. ‘follow us
on Twitter’.
social media optimisation, so
Content mobility
Ensure that your content is available in multiple formats. As well as PDFs,
videos and audio clips, remember to create something in PowerPoint, so that
your content can reach a destination such as SlideShare (which is also used
within LinkedIn).
Speak when you are spoken to
Participate in the conversations which affect you and your brand. If you are
seen to be engaging with your community, you are likely to build credibility
and have more people ‘listening’ to what you have to say. Your involvement
also means you will be better placed to know who your brand guardians and
assassins are and react accordingly.
Provide related information
If you have the scope for creating content, then do so. Some content is more
likely to become viral and spread through social networking sites than others,
but almost every industry has information that will be passed on.
Remember that SEO and SMO are related but not the same
Natural search and social media sit within their own channels, and whilst
there is indeed a relationship between them, each has to justify its existence
in its own right. That said; integrating natural search and Social Media
Optimisation within the same agency does offer many tangible benefits.
