Some things you can do with SSA
1.Make it harder to get lost in deep content
2.Make search smarter
3.Reduce jargon
4.Learn how your audiences differ
5.Know when to publish what
6.Own and enjoy your failures
7.Avoid disaster
8.Predict the future
#1
Make it harder to get lost
Start with basic SSA data:
queries and query frequency
Percent: volume
of search activity
for a unique
query during a
particular time
period
Cumulative
Percent:
running sum of
percentages
Tease out common content types
Tease out common content types
Tease out common content types
Took an hour to...
• Analyze top 50 queries (20% of all search activity)
• Ask and iterate: “what kind of content would users be
looking for when they searched these terms?”
• Add cumulative percentages
Result: prioritized list of potential content types
#1) application: 11.77%
#2) reference: 10.5%
#3) instructions: 8.6%
#4) main/navigation pages: 5.91%
#5) contact info: 5.79%
#6) news/announcements: 4.27%
Clear content types lead to
better contextual navigation
artist descriptions
album reviews
album pages
artist biosdiscography
TV listings

#3
Reduce jargon
Saving the brand by killing jargon
at a community college
Jargon related to online education: FlexEd, COD,
College on Demand
Marketing’s solution: expensive campaign to
educate public (via posters, brochures)
The Numbers
(from SSA):
Result: content relabeled, money saved
query rank query
#22 online*
#101 COD
#259 College on Demand
#389 FlexTrack
*“online”part of 213 queries
#4
Learn how your audiences differ
Who cares about what?
Who cares about what?
Who cares about what?
Who cares about what?
Why analyze queries by audience?
Fortify your personas with data
Learn about differences between audiences
• Open University “Enquirers”: 16 of 25 queries
are for subjects not taught at OU
• Open University Students: search for course
codes, topics dealing with completing program
Determine what’s commonly important to all
audiences (these queries better work well)
#5
Know when to publish what

Own and enjoy your failures
Failed navigation?
Examining unexpected searching
Look for places
searches happen
beyond main page
What’s going on?
• Navigational
failure?
• Content failure?
• Something else?
Where navigation is failing
(“Professional Resources” page)
Do users and
AIGA mean
different
things by
“Professional
Resources”?
Comparing what users find
and what they want
Comparing what users find
and what they want
Failed business goals?
Developing custom metrics
Netflix asks
1. Which movies most frequently searched? (query count)
2. Which of them most frequently clicked through? (MDP views)
3. Which of them least frequently added to queue? (queue adds)

#7
Avoid disasters
The new and improved search engine
that wasn’t
Vanguard used SSA to help benchmark
existing search engine’s performance and
help select new engine
New search engine “performed” poorly
But IT needed
convincing
to delay
launch
Information Architect &
Dev Team Meeting
Search seems
to have a few
problems… Nah
.
Where’s the
proof?
You can’t tell
for sure.
What to do?
Test performance of common queries
“Before and after” testing using two sets of
metrics
1.Relevance: how reliably the search engine
returns the best matches first
2.Precision: proportion of relevant results
clustered at the top of the list
Old engine (target) and new compared
Note: low relevance and high precision scores are optimal

Predict the future
Shaping the
FinancialTimes’ editorial agenda
FT compares these
• Spiking queries
for proper nouns
(i.e., people and
companies)
• Recent editorial
coverage of
people and
companies
Discrepancy?
• Breaking story?!
• Let the
editors
know!
Seed your
Can SSA bring us together?
