People usually think the marketing professionals can’t work naturally are very mechanical. This is not the case because marketers also get connected to people and deliver the results basing on it. Connecting with the audience and the clients is the primary job of marketers. The first step that every marketer takes is to make or design an empathy map. This empathy map is a crucial thing for digital marketers because empathy map is something that makes the clients know that businesses are connected.
Empathy Map is something that articulates all the information about the client or the person’s needs collectively. It categorizes the person’s requirement so that it helps in driving the desired results. This article is like a step by step guide what exactly Empathy diagram or Empathy map is and used.
Empathy Map shows but doesn’t sell
Below you can see the basic structure of empathy map.
But for a marketer, it is imperative to know that facts and figures are a significant part of the marketing but should never forget how these facts and demographics are coming and who is behind it. All the events and surveys are the most important and valuable market search that can be imagined as the outcomes here are genuine and real.
Whenever we talk to a client and know about their requirements at the same time, we should always keep in mind the needs of the audience or the customers. It always motivates you to get the same emotion and express every single detail in your advertising work. Empathy mapping should be there for every work it is like a foundation or bedrock for any advertising.
Empathy mapping in Digital Marketing
There is always arguments and counter-arguments while coming to empathy mapping because social media sites use this empathy mapping more often in their work. Social media immediately connect to people or the users, this is why the argument comes up.
People use to think it is ages old method, on the other hand, it is not instead it is most important. In one line we can say “Empathy is not reducing it just became digital.”
Usually, reaching out to people becomes very important. The only way through which you can reach the millennials is through social media. A huge amount of people that is more than 70% people rely more on social media mostly on YouTube and videos in it. While almost half of the millennials in the online platform for different issues and goals to solve and achieve.
The surveys say that:
40% of the Millennials in the modern and divisive world started looking the world around them as the new light after getting insipired from social media and mainly YouTube Videos.
This what the marketers have to do to gain the trust of the people by acquiring the confidence of the users. The millennials always empathize with every single click, video, share, and comment. Here the principal task of the marketer is to capture the intensity of the people and present them something that pleases them.
What are Do’s and Don’ts in Empathy Mapping?
While you are working on an Empathy mapping always remember these below do’s and don’ts:
DO’s
Still understand what your user needs, and try to fulfill it one way or the other. Make them feel that you are concerned and that’s why this is the result.
Teach the audience, make them realize that they should use a specified product.
Inspire the audience, or show them that you got inspired and inspiring others too.
Connect to the users emotionally. Use all the emotional tactics such as Nostalgia, Group hooking, Relationships, anger, fear, love, happiness, and triumph.
In the end, do have a goal and try to achieve it.
DON’Ts
Never let your ads speak as if it is addressing a gathering.
Don’t make a mistake of using the standard call to action. Always let the crowd or the users decide it and make conclusion according to it. While the most important thing is to allow the product to speak on behave of itself.
As a people say ” actions speak more than words” so let your product and the advertising speak more than you do.
Never focus on the competitors’ shortcomings instead focus on the positive aspects of your brand.
Set, one goal and achieve, but if you simultaneously set up more than one goal, it will for sure ruin the whole work.
Marketing these days is not just the advertisements, it has become much more than that, Advertisements have to reach the internet and maintain the standards of the users here also. However, these days marketing of a product provides much more value even before the product is being launched.
How can we build Empathy Mapping?
Empathy Map is very important for any Digital marketing agency, in similar while building an Empathy Map people usually, get confused regarding how to construct an Empathy Map and what should be included and so on. Below we mention everything that will solve your problem.
Explain your Goals
Which user map you are going to sketch?
First, you have decided will you map for a single user or persona. While starting always remember the empathy map should be of 1:1 mapping which means one user per empathy map. Only it says there is more than one user than the empathy map for each one would be different.
Describe your purpose for empathy mapping.
This directly means describe your goal. If you have a team of marketers, then align everyone on each user and make sure everyone is present in the empathy mapping planning. Even set a clear scope and transcript with a deadline and the targets to achieve.
Discuss with the team
Your goal should indicate the medium you use to fulfill the aspect of empathy mapping. It is always better to interact with everyone in your group and gather all the pieces of information everyone has, or everyone gathered. The empathy mapping and the discussion alone makes the system creative which will work for you.
Collect information
Gather all the information that will be used effectively to fuel up your empathy map. As empathy map is a very qualitative method so you should always pay attention to all the quality requirements such as Case studies, interviews, User discussion, field works, surveys, and facts.
Know everyone’s perspective on each block
Once you and your team have all the search inputs, it is the right time to proceed to Empathy mapping. If you have a whole group of more than two people, then it is better to have a big board and let everyone write down according to them what is essential. And make sure everyone fill in the four quadrants with the data that is efficient for the work.
Combine all the efficient data
After each member of your team write their version of the empathy map. Then pick the most efficient data and combine everything that is relevant and bring out the desired plan. While in this process it may be difficult for you to chose, but it is always advised to differentiate by the names and then at the end make it as a single component.
In between this clustering, you may face a lot of confusion and discussion on why to chose this, not that. It is always better to discuss as it will give a perfect reason to include one and exclude the other. In the discussion may be new ideas can strike.
Polish the whole plan
If you still feel that something is missing and need to adapt it to get more results, it is always advised to have a new quadrant to add extra things in it. Or you can even exceed the specificity of the existing quadrant. Depending upon your target plan accordingly and polish it whenever it is required.
Make sure that you add the user in the middle of the map with some of the withstanding questions, the date, and version. And always remember to get back to empathy mapping whenever you get new User-inspired information.
CONCLUSION
The empathy maps help to build empathy in the users basing on the real data and combining the mapping methods. While corporate companies teach to give more importance to the brands and keep them in mind and later align the customer’s needs.
But, according to me, the marketing goal must be to break down all the barriers and reach the audience in the most diverse and impossible way that is possible. Empathy is just a grammatical and English term in the marketing field. If people start empathizing with one another, then they can combine to deliver the main message and shared a set of strength.
If you and your marketing team is facing any difficulties while making an empathy map, then do contact us at any time.
While the year 2019 is rolling out so as the Google new alerts and updates to its already existing applications and software for the users, marketers and the advertisers. While in this updates the first thing that everybody noticed is the Google New alerts related to Ads, a very new publishing platform for local news, Google new alerts for the mappings, and integrating the Google Adwords Campaign with Google ads platform.
Read the full article to know in details about the Google new alerts.
Search News in Google
The most important and surprising changes that Google brought in is for the Local writers and in the Google search news. Below you can know more about it.
Google testing Mobile SERPs with ADs
The Google Search Engine Ranking Page is never the same it keeps on changing, and advancements keep coming up. It was found that 14 ads one after other was present on the first page. This means the advertisements occupied the first page of the Google search engine.
At the top of the page, first, four advertisements came up followed by the organic searched advertisements after that seven more paid advertisements again came up then reached six organic advertisements.
Eventually, in the end, the research page ends with three more advertisements before the more results pop up. This means the page had a total of 14 advertisements and then eight organic results. Which means it is twice as many as the usual number of ads.
While we can expect that the fact behind it is maybe Google is testing the ads in a mobile SERPs or Search Engine Ranking Page. However, it even shows that Google is pushing the company’s and making it monetized in the search results. This is an excellent sign to the digital advertisers, but not for the SEO specialist.
Google’s three pack local listing
This is a new type of Google local listing which you can see in Google maps. Previous it was seven pack page rollout, but now it is a three pack page roll out. Due to this, the SEO related people all are shaken to know what will be the result? And now it became a more tough task for SEO persons to optimize the Google maps for their clients.
Not just that & pack where cut to 3, while previous the user was able to see the address and phone number with the name but now no address and phone number will be visible.
Google not removed the Phone number and the address it even disabled the !-click access and removed all those links which redirect to Google My Business. All the previous cards got hidden now if click on listing open page you will be redirected to the Google Map where you will find the list of 20 competitors just like the older one.
In the above image you can that first comes the paid companies, then you get a list of all the electrical companies. It is one of the best tricks that Google used because at a go you can see 20 competitors list. People will get to know about their competitors at a site on one page.
Google new alert platform for Local News: Google Newspack
Google went into partnership Automattic and WordPress, even invested $ 1.2 million in the new project named to be Newspack. This new NewsChannel will have a portfolio in Google as Newspack; this portfolio will have services such as the fast, secure and meager cost for the publishing news. You can even be able to post the different and small local newsroom.
However, with the help of this platform, the local journalist and reporters get easy access who are struggling to bring up the local news. All those journalist and reporters who don’t understand about the Digital Marketing strategies and the business problems will all be solved now and can tell the story about the community and locality in the Google Space. Here, you don’t have to worry about the website design, building with an e-commerce system and configuring the CMSs.
While if you are thinking about the aim of the Google newspack is one-platform fitting all the size of the news. However, the focus of Google is to help the small business person to raise high and succeed in the online media. Google named Newspack as “an opinionated CMS” because according to Google it is a very right thing even if publishers never did it.
As per our experts, we came to know that Google will start the development process on this project soon. The platform will be available for the users after a few months.
No need of Physical Presence for registering in Google My Business
Recently Google introduced a new feature for the service areas in Google My Business platform. It is best for the small businesses owners without the street address, or a proper address can now share the address of local service and the other information related to business on the Google maps and search engine pages.
The present GMB users can now edit all the information of the business straightly from the Dashboard of the GMB. There you can find the separate options for editing “storefront address” and “service area.”
While for the businesses who have not yet registered in Google My Business and are new to it, will be guided by the Google bot through the whole setup process starts. At last, Google says that “It hopes the business will grow and better connect with the potential customers in different locations.”
Featured snippet for PDFs
Yes! You heard it right Google will now consider the content in your PDF and show as a featured snippet. Previously the featured snippet used to pull out only the content from the website HTML. However, it is the first time anything like this thing is going to happen. If we see it from an SEO techniques point of view, a PDF contains much more information than the typical contents. It is happy news for all those who are writing PDF which a lot of information but were never got rank for it.
Google maps speed camera warning
In Google maps, you can see a new feature which will showcase you the speed limits as warnings. In the mobile application device, it will show the driver the speed limit while the driver would be driving it. That’s, not the end; it will even show the hidden speed trap cameras on the corner of the streets.
When you open the app on the left side down corner, you will find the speed being displayed, and the camera would be shown as a small camera icon or option on the visible area of the map.
The camera icon is will also be enabled by the time you reach near the speed trap cameras. Nevertheless, the sources even say that this feature is available only in fewer countries. People expect that this feature will roll out just in US, UK, and Denmark also if countries such as Australia, India, Brasil, Russia, Indonesia, Mexico, Canada have the speed trap cameras.
We can expect that shortly after release in the US, the UK and Denmark Google will soon launch in these companies while it is still unknown when it will roll out in all over the world.
New Google Tools
Not just that Google new alerts were there for the software and the application it is even there for the Google Tools. To know more take a look below.
Access to nonskippable ads
Usually, in Google, the Video creators get only limited access to creative actions in this platform. At the end of January Google gave access to all the advertisers to take all the benefits and make all the original works that they can make, and regardless of how they are buying it, whether it has advanced, through the Google auction for ads, or the reservations.
Google now brought this on the Google platform a 15-minute unskippable ad which was earlier only present in the youtube, and if you want to have it in Google, you had to you the YouTube reservation now you can directly do with Google reservation or aution.
To ensure how many users are coming up, Google will be capping the number of users who are watching the Video it makes it more user-friendly simultaneously having the record of it. In the end, it is a very intuitive and flexible way which makes the work of advertisers easier.
Adwords Express combined with Google Ads
Google has integrated Adwords Express with Google Ads; now you can find both the things in one place. The digital marketers can now see the Adwords Express in Google Ads as an option “Smart Campaigns.” Don’t you will not lose any of the benefits all the benefits that you enjoyed before will remain and nothing will exploit. While you can find new interests and features coming up such as:

You can review the effectivity of your ads on the dashboard.
Not the effectiveness of the campaigns people can even be able to watch the campaign overview, alerts for the critical account, Google analytics, maps listing, scheduling the ads and so on.
Conclusion

We expect that everyone presents all over the globe gets it as soon as possible. Until it comes if you find any other new updates and want us to include it in our article leave a comment below we will update it.

Social media has taken all the credits in keeping the people all over the world busy, either with the latest news, with friends and family. There are several social media advantages to talk.
The social media examples include Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and many more. Whatever social media apps you are using right now, chat has become an integral and necessary part of everyone’s conversation.
Gone are the days to make a call to have a casual conversation with our friends or family. The importance of social media has become the everyday need to stay in contact and up to date about your current happenings on an hourly basis with our friends and family.
However, people had lost trust in Facebook when the news broke out in the earlier September 2018 that, almost 50 million Facebook accounts are hacked. It was shocking that about 90 million people were sent notifications to reset their Facebook passwords. Due to a technical glitch from Facebook’s end, all the Facebook are hacked.
Social media advantages are many. If we use in a proper and controlled way, we can make most of it. Some of the significant social media advantages include:
connectivity
education
business
information and updates
promotion of business
awareness campaigns
interact with communities
to promote NGO services
Facebook working to Integrate the Social Media Apps?
Facebook earlier said that it would not merge with any other social media communication chat platforms. However, there is news that soon Facebook will soon integrate the Whatsapp, Instagram and messenger chats and social media examples.
According to the reports, New York Times, Zuckerberg plans to merge the social media app chat platforms to proclaim control over other social media app chat platforms, as Facebook is trying to impress its users and to get the trust back. The Facebook social network recently facing criticism for hacked accounts and leaked data.
As per reports, it means that :
“We want to build the best messaging experiences that we can, and people want to message to be fast, simple, reliable and private.”
” We are working on making more of our messaging products end-to-end encrypted and considering the ways to make it easy to reach friends and family across networks.”
All these social media apps will work as a separate stand-alone social media apps. Social media apps likeWhatsApp, Instagram, and messenger keep the user information and data safe, whereas WhatsApp is end to end encrypted.
What are the pitfalls of Facebook merging Facebook into Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger?
There are many social media advantages which keep us always connected to the world. In the same way, there are social media examples like Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter and many more to let us know the current happenings in and around the world.
As we all know that, Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp have the same parent now. However, these two applications will serve as two different social media platforms serving the same purpose. The underlying enigma of merging and also functioning as two separate applications are little confusing.
Further, the users will confuse it in future again that WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger will get into a single social media platform.
Social media advantages play a significant role in social media apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger. Facebook bought WhatsApp for a wobble amount of $19 million.
On the other hand, Facebook has also improved the quality of chatting experience, and even video calling has made the situation little skeptical.
All apps to have end-to-end encryption?
We cannot expect anything as of now; it was just a statement by him. The updates and changes are still in the early stages, and it may take some time for the actual process to take its shape. However, researchers say all this could take time and maybe early of 2020 we may have to see the updates.
The critical aspect here to note is, Zuckerberg wants to preserve the end to end encryption for all the social media apps and chat services. The end to end encryption is the most technically demanding move to progress.
The Dichotomy of Messaging
It is evident that Facebook is trying to gain lost trust among the large people by improving the quality of the Messenger and also Instagram. But, according to researchers, the average profits of WhatsApp is much more than the Messenger and Instagram.
Besides, according to a survey people even though the Messenger and WhatsApp have come together, people do not want to disown WhatsApp due to its user-friendly interface.
However, only WhatsApp is end to end encrypted. The other social media chat apps do not end to end encryption protected. The WhatsApp is the most used chat service all over the world.
What could be the reason for Integrating?
The possible reason for the integration could be the downfall of the social media giant Facebook. In recent times, Zuckerberg has faced a lot of criticism, for leaking the user data and personal information for the elections.
Also, the lawmakers and law regulators around the world have condemned the act of Facebook. Security is the primary reason for Facebook is trying to merge with the other social media chat platforms to gain its lost charm over time.
There are some social media examples where the private data is hacked, and no one knows the exact reason. Some issues do not get important clarification which leads to trust issues among the users.
End to end encryption is painful to implement correctly because of any lapse of the code in the schema; the whole program compromises. However, both WhatsApp and Messenger follow open source code protocol, but there are variations in the implementations.
However, the best option is integrating all the family apps under a single parent and has decided to start implementation around the last few months.
How would the results be if Facebook merging happens?
If Facebook merges with the other social media chat apps, there is a possibility that Facebook still needs to struggle to make a mark.
On the other hand, WhatsApp needs a phone number to access the app. Facebook and Messenger collect all the true identities to access the account.
However, the essential revenue generates through Facebook. There are business groups who still rely on Facebook but not much for personal use.
However, WhatsApp is delighted of the end-to-end encryption which no one can read except for the sender and the recipient. On the other hand, Instagram and Messenger have no such protection for messages.
As part of merging benefit, Facebook has promised the end to end encryption.
How could Facebook benefit from such integration?
With strict privacy rules and regulations came to limelight with the hacking of user data. Again Facebook wants to win the assurance back and provide with the right security for messaging platforms. This privacy could be the next step most probably everyone is waiting.
By providing strong security is the way may be, it could overcome the defame and get ready for the coming challenges. Facebook should come up with new ideologies to improve the security features and unique ideas to generate more revenue through Facebook advertising and business.
However, the strategy is still suspense and has not disclosed by Facebook. Surely we can say, something big might happen, and it would get back on track very soon with messaging services.
Conclusion:
To merge Facebook with social media apps would be a big thing. But till then we have to wait and see if it introduces an end to end encryption.
The million dollar question would be will Messenger, and Instagram follows privacy suit after merging. Before going ahead with the bold move, Facebook should clarify this issue.
