In the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, time is money.Â
Key decisions in building projects happen early in the design phase and significantly impact the purchasing decisions in the final phases of a project. Â
In many cases, due to time and resource constraints, architects will simply continue to use the same products they used on their last project, or the product ‘standard’ to ensure meeting strict deadlines.Â
Equipping architects and engineers with pertinent information prior to those crucial decisions empowers teams to easily communicate the rationale to owners and other key stakeholders. Â
For building product manufacturers, this is the blueprint to close a deal.Â
Utilizing powerful performance insights at the right time to communicate the value of your premium products without the use of complicated spec sheets, you can be sure that your product stands out from the competition and significantly increases your product's chances of being selected.Â
What are building performance insights?Â
In architecture, performance insights are any data points that can be used to help design teams make informed decisions on building products for projects. These insights can originate from a manufacturer's Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), carbon and cost data, or other sources. Depending on the project's goals, these insights can hold varying levels of importance to an architect.Â
Looking Beyond the Standard Â
While there are many ways marketers can drive traffic to their sites to increase leads– some of the most noteworthy being Search Engine Optimization (SEO), PPC advertising, and social media -- many marketers often overlook integrations that can help drive traffic to their site.Â
Google Analytics is one of the most commonly used tools to improve web traffic and expand an organization's web presence. With tools like Google Analytics, marketers can use data to understand their digital marketing activities' performance and make improvements where needed. Use the tool in conjunction with software like SEMrush and Google Search Console, and you can use these insights to increase the flow of organic search traffic funneling into your site.  Â
Just the same, while these efforts are imperative to ensuring organic growth, activities such as search engine optimization require a considerable amount of time, effort, and team resources without guaranteeing any results. The same can be said about social media, as it can take months, if not years, to build a critical mass of followers.Â
Driving Product Awareness Â
