Integrating the Websites 360 Shop App and Marketing 360 Payments

Marketing 360 Payments is now officially live in the Websites 360 Shop App! When customers make purchases in the Shop App, they’ll be able to checkout securely and easily using the Marketing 360 Payment gateway and the purchases will be tracked in the E-commerce page of the Payments app.

Payments - Products

Create products with easy to use recurring billing options in the new Products page in Marketing 360 Payments app for services, membership options, or anything else that requires recurring payments from customers.

Filter Ad Campaigns by Status

Wondering which Ad campaigns are active or paused? Use the filters on the campaigns list to view campaigns by these separate statuses or them all together.

Clarifying Jargon in the Content App

The Content app clarifies the jargon by updating the app to more clearly describe that the Content app is all about organic impressions, clicks and conversions.

Weekly Email Digest Released 📬

The Weekly Report from Marketing 360 is a performance report about your business. It’s a high-level insight into the past 30 days of business and marketing data from Marketing 360 – delivered straight to your inbox. This update is delivered every Wednesday.

Conversion Paths table made sortable 📊

You can now sort the Conversion Paths table in the Intelligence app to make it easier to find the most common methods customers are using to find your website. This is the first of many updates to make all Intelligence reports sortable.

Listings - Platform filters 📈

In the Listings app, you can filter by Platform to quickly navigate to the specific platforms you want to see. Search for the exact platform and select as many as you want.

Bugs🐞 & Technical Fixes

We cleaned up some data in the reporting apps to make them more accurate, updated some styles to make a better experience for users on smaller monitors and changed the way we handle errors on the Listings app for easier understanding.

Listings Improvements

The Listings app updated the design and added more details for the Overview page, including high-level reporting of different platform statuses, details about why a platform isn’t “live” and duplicates detection. You can then manage possible duplicates on the new Duplicates page to clean up confusing data from connected platforms.

Account Integrations

Connect your own reporting accounts to platforms like Google Ads, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads, just to name a few. These new integrations will allow you to fully access apps like Intelligence, Ads and Content so that you can leverage website analytics, ad performance, search engine rankings, and more.

Relocated Reputation Settings

The Reputation settings were relocated into a new Settings page in the app itself. Since editing business info works across multiple apps, you’ll still find that information in the Business Info settings. Otherwise, Reputation-specific settings will be in this new Settings page in the Reputation app itself.

Migrations are Complete!

As of this week, all clients previously on the old versions of Marketing 360 have been upgraded to the latest version of our singular platform! Shout out to all of the engineers who made this massive project possible. 🥂

New Page: Intelligence - Marketing Overview

The new Intelligence – Overview page provides a high-level view of metrics like impressions, clicks, and conversions across the different channels like Content or Ads. You can also see trends in clicks and conversions over time in the breakdown graph.

New Site Analytics: Date/Time Report

The new Day / Time report in the Intelligence app tracks website traffic by date and time, providing insights to when users are most active on your websites. This can help businesses with things like scheduling promotions or social posts for the optimal time for engagement.

New Site Analytics: Source Report

The new Source report in the Intelligence app tracks website traffic by its Origin (think search engines or specific domains) and Medium (think categories like organic search, cost-per-click paid search, or referrals). This provides a wider view of the most effective ways to market your business.

Mobile-Type Widgets for Top Rated Local®

The Reputation app has a new collection of Top Rated Local® widgets specifically for mobile devices. In the new “Mobile Type” section, you can choose the original “pin widget” or one of the three new “tab widgets” that display the Rating Score™, overall rating or total number of reviews. This new type is available for all widgets except the in-line and large widget styles.

CRM Settings Moved

We’re making the CRM settings page more easily accessible by including them in the page navigation. Moving the Settings into the page navigation makes it easier to switch between the CRM app and its settings, saving precious time and energy. It’s the little things, right?

Site Analytics Menu Restructure

The navigation for Intelligence Site Analytics gets a little simpler today. As we build out different reports, they’ll be added directly to the Site Analytics sidebar menu instead of the added step of clicking on the Site Analytics sub-menu before you can get to the report data you really want to see.

Nurture Navigation Updates

We cleaned up the navigation for the Nurture app by removing the additional menu page for Email and Text Marketing. Now, the Nurture navigation goes directly to overview pages when the apps are active and to the unlock screen when they’re not.

So many name options leads to confusion, which is why Marketing 360® is making it simple moving forward. “Text Marketing” is an easy way to talk about the texting technology in the Nurture app. We also cleaned up the navigation to streamline page names between email and text.

Bug Fix 🐞 Hide the URL when Posting Images on Facebook

Creating a Facebook post with an image will no longer show the image source URL on the post. It will post the content, image, and hashtags that you create & that’s it!

SMS Settings Moved

You can now access the different SMS app settings within the SMS app directly. Starting with the SMS app in Nurture, Marketing 360® is shifting to include the app-specific settings as a separate page within the app itself instead of in one giant settings page. All other apps with settings will follow this pattern soon.

New Subnav Structure for Nurture, Intelligence

Navigating between different pages in Nurture and Intelligence now matches the same pattern as other apps. You can see all of the pages in a subnav instead of a dropdown for faster action between different pages.

Unlock the Listings App by Calling our Team

If you’re using the Reputation app and free version of Marketing 360® only, then we invite you to unlock Listings by calling our team to activate the rest of the platform.

Payments is Live for All New Clients!

Keep track of which contacts know each other in your CRM by using the “Known Associates” feature. Contacts will show up on another contact’s profile as a Known Associate when designated that way.

Update the Primary SMS Keyword

The primary keyword is the word that your customers text to subscribe to your text message journeys. Now, you can change this keyword whenever you want!

You can now request that an individual post moves from Drafts to Pending for approval. If you don’t want to send it one at a time, you still have the functionality to select multiple posts and send them all for approval in bulk.

Filter Social Channels from the Scheduled Page

Creative App Visibility Based on Permissions

The “user” role in Marketing 360® doesn’t allow you to create or submit a Creative team to-do to our pros. So, now those pages are hidden for these users because why look at it if you can’t touch it?!

There were some messages used throughout the apps that weren’t very consistent with each other.
