Example: How to Use Graph Search
Let’s say Orca Books has a goal to build up its audience. i.e., Get More Likes: People who like children’s books.
1. Search on Facebook for “People who like Orca Book Publishers”Results give us a look at who those people are and can be used to build audience profile / personas based on avatar, key details or used when setting up targets for ads.
2. Refine by looking at more pages they like (what else do ppl who like Orca like)Search for “Pages liked by people who like Orca”
* other publishers* magazines (possible advertising opportunities)* lit organizations, bookstores (places to do co-op, online ads/promotions, * Canada Reads
3. Search in combination: “People who like Orca Book Publishers AND Annick Press”

How to Set Average Goal Values
1. What is the value of someone clicking a Buy the Book link? If you use affiliate links then calculate (total revenue/# link clicks = avg goal value)
2. What is the value of a catalogue download? If you track micro-conversions in offline systems, i.e., someone requests a catalogue, you track downloads of the catalogue in a CRM and match that to seasonal orders, then calculate (total revenue/# web-requests)
If you allocate budgets and calculate ROI for related tactics, use that. i.e., “when we send 6,000 catalogues, typically we get ### orders, which yields $$$ revenue,” calculate the ROI of each catalogue and use that as the goal value.
3. What is the value of an email sign up, contest entry, etc.? Use relative goal values.
4. What if I have no clue what you’re talking about?Set $1 as the goal value for all outcomes.
