No doubt, you are using different channels to market your online business same as your competitors doing. Now the question is, “how your opposition is getting advantage from the same point when all the strategic parameters are same?” To get the answer, first, take a look at how one is managing his/her marketing campaigns on different channels and measuring return on investment (ROI).
As stated above, think like you are using mixed channels (Bing, LinkedIn etc.) of marketing. You have to import pay-per-click (PPC) cost data from all the used channels individually. Seeing that you are downloading cost data from all the sites, they might not be clean and useful enough to use in analysis programs like MS Excel. So, you need to sort, filter, or remove off the point data (no impression, or zero clicks) to give it a common shape before running them for analysis. This is in fact one of the challenges that a manual analyzer would face. This process of importing data from the channels into a spreadsheet physically will hop your investment to cost data analysis. Furthermore, the erroneous and time consuming process will only increase the risk of making skimpy decisions by human.
