In simple terms, search marketing management is the operation of developing strategies by which a product or service is introduced and promoted to the potential customers. It is, briefly, a set of actions that strive to find effective ways to achieve predetermined people-based marketing goals by discovering, defining and meeting the needs of the customers.

Here is the very brief illustration of main action sets of search marketing management:

Analysing: the research and data evaluation stage, where marketing manager defines the customers, their needs and preferences, finds patterns in their behavior and reveals the ICP (Ideal Client Profile) for its product or service.

Planning: this is the grass root of any business. In this stage, the marketing manager is having a clear action plan regarding the future marketing activities. This is to determine when, how, where, by who the people-based marketing activities should be carried out.

Implementing: the execution stage, where all the necessary resources are in hand and the main work that has been planned is being done.

Controlling: this step ensures that performance does not deviate from standards. Under this function, the marketing manager establishes performance standards, compare actual performance against standards and takes corrective action when necessary.
